Not for me. I've taken and completed well over 50 courses by now (took health-related time off work for a few years but when I felt better wanted to do something), and the most frustrating courses where Udacity courses (and a few of the edX courses) where it felt like I had to click Next Next Next Next continuously, could not take my hand off the keyboard and lean back in my chair because there was the next silly easy question to answer and "Next" to click for the next short soundbite video. I definitely prefer well-made(!) longer videos.

The worst is when they start each and every 3.5 minute video with a ten second introduction, for those who already forgot what course they are in and what they just heard last only three minutes ago.

When I see things like this, or the doctor that I saw yesterday (who didn't know me) immediately switching to a "baby talk" style (for all conversations with her patients, I later observed) I wonder what kind of people (students, patients) they have to deal with in their jobs that they switch to by default assuming the worst.

Public transit is relatively well developed. We're a relatively small country, very flat and reasonably densely populated. Obviously public transport is most well-developed in the larger cities, with several expansions in progress.

But even rural areas are serviced by trains and bus lines. It may be slower in rural areas than taking the car, but you can make it work. At least you can do with one car per household instead of two.

Get an x-ray machine? They are surprisingly cheap pieces of hardware if you are willing to deal with a small area, low penetration image. Low penetration means no lead, which makes for something that's about as cumbersome as a large bar fridge.

Central planning for sure, given the lack of UI/UX focus we usually see on open source stacks.

Coding is fun, but providing a productive experience also requires doing lots of stuff that FOSS coders don't invest any resources into it.
That would make a lot of sense and would give the attacker a way to interface with all of the other hardware (network, disk etc.). Do you have a source for this information?
In many cantons there's an "error" allowance of 5 km/h when issuing a speed ticket. If the speed limit is 50, you won't get a ticket unless you were at 56 or more. This is done to account for car's speedometer inaccuracy.

One principal difference is Swiss traffic controls, at least in French-speaking parts, is that they prevent intersections of traffic flows. E.g. you can't turn left on a green that allows going straight unless cars in the opposite direction are held by the red. That is, if you are following the signs and lights, you will simply not have a chance to run into another car going in some other direction.
Do you really think that another world power would behave differently if they were the factory of the world?
Tails 3.9.1 is out
Yes, irrespective of country where its manufactured, if there are compliance requirements around an un-openable box, then some process becomes required.

But I think the GP's question is: "Whether it would be cheaper" - in the sense whether such an expensive QA process could have been averted by having a more trustworthy partner. One whom you're not on a race hack after hack.
MADE $30 ON MY FIRST DAY… GOLD OpinionS
You'll know this already but I'd say when you're coming from FreeBSD you'll be disappointed with Docker in particular, because it serves no purpose in the (usually) well-organized BSD world where the good stuff is built from source, and developed to POSIX guidelines most of the time anyway. Docker is just a workaround for the perceived mess of shared libraries in the Linux world of multiple O/S vendors (by not using shared libs in the first place which could be solved by statically linking everything), and FreeBSD's jails is IMHO superior as sandbox technology anyway.
> Second, would have it been cheaper to manufacture somewhere more trustworthy (another country?) instead of spending all this time/money on your anti-hack systems?

Netherlands 'halted Russian cyber-attack on chemical weapons body'
I agree with the sentiment, the United States is somewhat uptight especially when it comes to telling other people how to live their lives. Certainly this is a contributing factor.

Minorities are also treated with extra scrutiny almost everywhere.

Policing also varies greatly from locality to locality.

I’ve know probably five police officers and all are great people and join the police to help, but I hate to say it many of them have anger or control issues.

Personally I had an issue where I needed an ambulance to my house and trip to the ER. The police showed up along with the ambulance and an officer was in my house and looking around the house with a snooping eye. Even when there to help they are looking for signs of a crime.

I looked up supermicro blade motherboards, and saw that the chip was right near the IPMI chip's line to spi flash.

And prior to that, there were already persistent rumors in the Chinese interney of certain Chinese mobos sending "weird garbage on ICMP," and "BMCs that somehow boot and work with their flash memory soldered off"

Remembering that, I might even suggest that this is not a modchip that does something with signal on the go, but just a very tiny flash chip that has the modded firmware.

Going further from that, to pack, say, 16 mB on a sandgrain sized chip, the densities need to be like that of best flash chips out there, which also means that they have access to last gen flash fab.
The point is that if the devices are sensitive with compliance requirements then you must be able to verify them irrespective of who you hired to manufacture them.

You cannot just trust the word of a contractor on this because it's your ass on the line.
In my opinion, the best technology for personal projects is the one that you don't know yet. They are a great opportunity to play around stuff which really is the only way of learning something new.

Unless the personal project is something that you really care about, potential startup or something like that, then obviously you choose something that you are already proficient in because then it's about getting stuff done and moving forward.

So while it may make sense to discuss what technology is good or bad for some kind of companies, I think we won't arrive at any ultimate conclusion like "X is good/bad for personal projects".
Yes, children have thrived for millions of years without either.

Have you completely removed all influence of screens?

Personally admist the uncertainty about what effects screens have on children I oscillate between a hard entrenched but probably superstitious belief they rot brains, and excitement about the educational opportunities they provide.

Some of the discussions I have had with my daughter about YouTube/kid shows have been absolutely delightful and have proved to me that there is a positive side to it.

I'm very wary about both quantity and quality of screen time though. It is just very difficult to know where or what those limits should be without being entitely arbitrary about it.
That’s not enough when the way the country’s election districts are set gives the Republican Party a heavy advantage at the polls (even without district level gerrymandering - the state boundaries alone are enough to accomplish that in the House; and do far worse in the senate).

And then there’s the issue of all the citizens who have been misled into supporting Republican positions and are intensely ideological about them.
There were many HN articles on that...was it last year?
Sorry, but this doesn't sound as true or there is huge mistakes done in choosing supply chain for such sensitive matter.

How come company keep ordering devices from some unverified sources from China, and after hitting a wall keep doing same?

How do you accept shipment of such devices without randomly opening and inspecting sample(yes losing all data, but electronic inspection can be done).

How you didn't investigate that with Visa/Mastercard? Whoever does that, he will lose his payment terminal certification after such incident, because they will track them down by IC serials very quickly.

What if vendor changed power supply board or even components type on it, and your momentum or weight test will make false positive?

Unless... your employer or you buy single devices, on demand, from some shady aliexpress seller. But then, it is plain suicide.

Today, it's 85% for the low tier (below ~190K DKK) and 150% for the high tier above that. The cutover point will increase to account for inflation and such.

I can confirm that an unarmed homeless person was shot and killed by police in front of my apartment building about 10 years ago.

He had autism and had run away from his family. He was sleeping under someone’s balcony, police came to remove him, ended up killing him.

This was in Hollywood. Los Angeles, off Sunset Blvd.

Edit: I believe this [0] is the case. Looks like those officers sued for being put on desk duty afterward and initially were rewarded $4M. That’s after the police settled with the mother of the man killed for less than $1M.

The project was started in Sept 2016 which was also the same month that I was first porting Fedora to RISC-V. Given the momentum behind RISC-V and also the huge amount of software now available it would obviously make sense to use a RISC-V compatible design. However hobbyists can do what they want, there's no reason to force someone who wants to design their own CPU to do it in any particular way.
In retrospect it seems that the decision to move all manufacturing to China was ill-advised.

Western companies ultimately will have no choice than to move it all back. (And Trump will want to take credit for that.)

I can understand all the big guys denying this. It's very hard to fix and very bad for business.

No, but Cobol + bank experience is different. There's the whole business terminology and overview you need to have to actually understand and fix the code.
Are these questions prompted by a specific observation or experience?
Agreed. Furthermore, thought has linked layers and context. Even if you could perfectly transmit an island idea from one person to another, it's unlikely that it would happen to contain the rich subjective context to make it nearly as useful to the recipient.

This is why learning and maturation take so much damned time.

Ask HN: How did you get your first remote job as a junior developer?
Share specifics, if you can. Where, what, how long, how much, etc.
No, since it can configure the BMC, which works without the OS.
Your current setup is probably already quite stable. Why switch to another? You probably underestimate the learning effort and the required effort to keep your stuff running in a long-term maintainable way on k8s.

Why don't you guys consider to expose this by suing the bad manufacturer? I believe this could help other truely honest manufacturers both in and outside China to beat the wrong doers.
> Using "cowboys" as a pejorative term

It's not being used as a perjorative term.

It's talking about a company called Cobol Cowboys, itself inspired by Space Cowboys, about a bunch of old guys called back into service to help with an emergency.

Charmingly enough, their motto is "not our first rodeo."
This comment is specific to the parent talking about their experiences producing credit card terminals that ended up with PCBs implanted in them. Here it is appropriate.
It isn't possible to attempt replication of every scientific paper that's published. A lot of people on this thread seem to have difficulty accepting this fact, but the time and money to do that simply isn't available.

If a large percentage of scientists were to engage in deliberate fraud, there wouldn't be any feasible way to regulate that problem away. All available resources would end up being spent on scientists investigating each other for fraud, and no actual science would get done. Bear in mind that in many cases, establishing that an experiment is not fraudulent could require more time and effort than the original experiment!

As with many other human institutions, we have no choice but to rely on most people being honest most of the time.
> Is Breitbart the only source of "right wing" facts in your world?

Breitbart isn't "only source" for anything. But it is one of the largest news sites that a lot of people read.

> Furthermore if you'd actually read the article you'd see that they also ban "left wing" site of similar quality.

Firstly, I don't want any legit sites banned. Period. Especially because they lean a certain way politically. Secondly, if that's the case, 99% of the news sites ( including nytimes, cnn all the way to vox and buzzfeed ) would have to be banned. But I highly doubt that is happening.

You seem to think I hold breitbart in high esteem. I don't. I think it is mostly toxic rubbish like the nytimes, washingtonpost, foxnews, msnbc, cnn, etc. They all are biased political advocacy groups. But I don't want them censored. Especially from something like wikipedia ( which I used to value and trust ).

The reason why I trusted wikipedia is because they were trying to be objective as possible. Now, it's clear that they, like many other institutions, are getting highly political. That's not a good thing.
Presumably the organisations responsible for hard coding backdoors in chip designs know how to test to confirm their presence.

Presumably some adversarial nation-states have moles inside these organisations > know how to remove them prior to fab.

Presumably these adversaries export genuine chips to their adversaries, thereby tricking them in to thinking the backdoors made it through the fab process, and only use chips that have the backdoors removed in their own critical infrastructure.

Presumably.

I’ve always had this fantasy of being a hextuple agent involved in this type of deep espionage.

Statements from Amazon, Apple, Supermicro and Chinese government.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-10-04/the-big-h...

From Apple:

"Over the course of the past year, Bloomberg has contacted us multiple times with claims, sometimes vague and sometimes elaborate, of an alleged security incident at Apple. Each time, we have conducted rigorous internal investigations based on their inquiries and each time we have found absolutely no evidence to support any of them. We have repeatedly and consistently offered factual responses, on the record, refuting virtually every aspect of Bloomberg’s story relating to Apple."
"Designed to be insecure" is probably unfair to the designers of IPMI. Security was just not as big a concern as it is today.
>For real or according to anti-union propaganda?

For real. Unlike private sector unions, the people that the unions ares negotiating against are politicians, who have no real incentive to push back. "I'll grant your raises, you vote me back in, then I can grant more raises". The incentives are messed up.

We had something similar where anything outside "normal" generated a ticket. It was disabled after 1 week because the support teams where getting more then 5000+ tickets each day. And this was after filtering etc....

Now this does not make it impossible, just very complex. In a more "controlled" environment such as a naval ship, i could see this actually working better, especially if the system is supposed to talk to very few external systems.

> arguing from a moral perspective isn't legitimate

Not the one you're responding to, but to say his/her reasoning isn't "legitimate" is a bit rich when the GP (me) was about ethics. I'm with you on Google/Fb getting all the ad spent, but I don't think another middleman and wannabe monopoly such as Patreon is going to solve it. I might be in the minority here, but I think its fair publishers get their clicks for their content-based, non-tracking ads; we need to drive tracking, targeting and other third-party crap out of the web under privacy regulations, though, because that's what breaks the feedback of ad spend to publishers/creators (apart from causing the general race-to-the-bottom trend).

Heh, not the op but I'll bite.

I just had to go through an open source project that uses guice, in order to try to trace a particular code path, since the user group was less than helpful.

Trying to figure what was running was an absolute nightmare of nested magic spread out through a score of files. Meaning as soon as I had a clue, I'd lose it as I had to retrace back through all those files.

I'm sure it's clear as crystal to the people who wrote it, but DI can be obtuse as hell if you have to figure what's actually running on your own.
You, obviously, have no idea how hard it is to write decent documentation for any system. Especially when it has been in existence for many years.

Good documentation is hard and anyone who thinks it is not does not have a clue as to what is needed for the purposes of maintaining any piece of software.

It is a very rare event to see documentation of a quality that explains all the interrelationships, reasons for the choice, etc, etc, etc.

I have in the past been required to provide all the documentation for projects I have worked on, functional and technical specifications, user guides and cheat sheets, detailed design documents and all of these take considerable time to write well. I can't say I am expert in this area because I am not. But I have done a lot better than most of the projects that I have had to interface to over the decades.

Documentation is a low priority for many management teams, they do not see the use in the kind of details that are needed. They do not give it sufficient support to do the job well.

I have seen and worked with people who have the skill to write the kind of documentation that is actually needed and they are a rare breed, well worth any money you pay them.

When companies complain about "cowboys", they often do not see that it is they who are the "cowboys".
Warning, the comments are spoilers in many cases. :(
I think the root of the problem is backwards compatibility and the fact that initially all these components were not designed with security in mind. So we're adding more insecure components in spirit of "move fast, break things" than fixing the debt incurred.
