Thank you very much for the link! :)

Opening it on my phone, this paragraph on the available ebook formats very much made my day:

Haven't quite finished the article and know nothing about biology but sounds similar to the novel Darwin's Radio (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin%27s_Radio).

Very interesting novel and unlike a lot of comments on the web I found it a really engaging read.

Looks like the original title was something like "macOS Server gets worse in 5.7.1" but was then changed to the page's official title, "Prepare for changes..."

This is a case where I'd argue deviating from the "official" article title is warranted, as it more clearly explains the aim behind the submission, or to what specifically the submitter wishes to draw our attention.
Now I'm intrigued about the meta-ness of the idea WRT Black Mirror...

Not so. The company processes are responding to a marketplace which allows products to ship with minimal security effort, thereby translating poor security into profit thanks to a more or less uninterested public. Nothing will change until legislation. For many kinds of companies they in fact cannot change until legislation.
We had a 90s TV show in Brazil called "You decide"[1]. One hour-long independent episodes with two pre-recorded endings. During the show people voted in their prefered ending by phone. The one with more votes would be displayed. The show was mildly popular, since I was a child back then I don't remember why they dropped it from the schedule.

The fact that things are complex is the exact reason checklists exist. It forces you to go through steps and actually verify things that are easily preventable.

https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=122226...

"How did surgeons respond to the suggestion that they should change the way they operate? Says Gawande, many were resistant at first.

"You can imagine the response" to the idea of running through a checklist before surgery, Gawande says. But when his team surveyed the doctors who used the checklist, "There was about 80 percent who thought that this was something they wanted to continue to use. But 20 percent remained strongly against it. They said, 'This is a waste of my time, I don't think it makes any difference.' And then we asked them, 'If you were to have an operation, would you want the checklist?' Ninety-four percent wanted the checklist.""
Some of the frustrations I've seen of people using ML1 remind me a lot of LM, specifically the lack of uniform interface between applications.

Guardian Angel | United Kingdom (London or Edinburgh are preferred) | Full-time | $45k-$80k + 1-10% equity.

Hi HN, I am the founder of Guardian Angel. We just finished Ignite, one of the UK's leading accelerators. We have also just raised a large pre-seed round and looking to build a passionate tech team. We are a small company, with a massive vision.

After losing my mother in a car accident I was exposed to how the funeral and end of life planning industries have yet to see the digital revolution, we want to change that. If you love solving tough programming challenges and avoiding organizational politics this might be the job for you.

We either looking for:
Senior dev looking for 1-2 days a week as acting CTO until we find our feet.
Senior dev looking to jump into startup life and focus on this product full time and get us to where we need to be.

https://angel.co/guardian-angel-1/jobs/405457-lead-developer...

For the right candidate, this will evolve into a co-founder position. We have built the base product in Laravel, but the hire can choose the direction.

In an age where technology giants are dramatically changing the entire landscape of our lives, those dealing with death have sat on the sideline. We aim to positively disrupt the industry, making things like life insurance and funeral plans easier to assemble. www.guardianangel.network .

Aviation is simpler than medicine, usually there's a "correct answer" for solving any given problem with a particular aircraft and situation. With medicine, every patient is different and most treatments work only with a certain likelihood.
You should bring this to the attention of USAFActs. Even if you're not a Ballmer fan, they do have the necessary resources for this sort of work and it seems like it would align with their mission.

Securing server rooms: practicalities beyond the basics
Interactive endings have already been done on UK terrestrial TV as some sort of gimmick for specials made for Comic Relief. It's pointless and crap, and what professional screen writers are supposed to be for. I imagine if Charlie asked, C4 said "no".

To be honest, if true, it provides yet more indication how much Channel 4 contributed unseen to Black Mirror, as it's got significantly worse since moving to Netflix. Despite the bigger budget.
Seems like language to me
>If you want to stop the hack, social-hack the fix.

It's a little tangential, but I think this comment is evidence that the verb "hack" has finally completed its evolution into a synonym for "do."
I paradigmed in my pants.
>People who don't understand what assault rifles are,

Or don't care for pedants who try arguing that an AR-15 isn't an assault rifle... because the issue isn't about terminology. Although trying argue about that does deflect from the real issue though.

>or that you can shoot up a school 99% as well with a `regular` rifle

Are you trying to say a bolt action hunting rifle is 99% as effective at massacring large numbers of people compared to a magazine fed semi-automatic weapon? Since you seem to have some complaint about "assault rifles" being used colloquially you might want to define what is a regular rifle, technically.

>people who think lack of guns will make a country MUCH safer. There are plenty of empirical evidence to refuse those kinds of beliefs but people hold on to them pretty strongly.

What you mean to say is you can tolerate the tens of thousands of gun deaths each year. And your belief is that if we take all those guns away those same number of deaths will just transfer over to stabbings or poisonings. Well while I'm not a badass or anything, I'll take my chances with a knife wielding maniac over a gun wielding maniac.

So... all those developed first world nations that have strong gun control laws still have an equivalent amount of murder and weapon assaults because everyone who would have used a gun still picks up a less dangerous weapon and is somehow just as efficient as they would be with a gun?

The biggest problem the U.S. has with gun control is that there's so many guns in the country that it will take a generation, maybe a 100 years for anything but the most draconian laws to have a tangible effect. And the whole time you'll have 2nd amendment wonks crying every day for 100 years about how gun control doesn't work because it didn't instantly fix the issue. However doing nothing hasn't been working either.
Simple demonstrations of 2 atom transistors have already been done (search for Rydberg blockade rubidium transistors).

Practical applications are very, very far away. A single collision with a molecule of air is plenty to dislodge an atom from any given internal state. Demonstrations are all run in vacuum chambers and rely on control of an atom's internal state.

I stopped browsing general news, unless somebody alerts me to something important. I find that it makes me slightly less annoyed with the world, not sure I am more happy or productive.

But for Twitter and Facebook I found that as long as I unfollow people, mute certain words and otherwise weed out the garden, I am more relaxed, more informed about people I do care about, and I get to see more cool stuff.

Checkr (YC S14) | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE | Senior Software Engineers

For the unfamiliar, Checkr's a four year old company, redefining the way background checks are run today and how they influence the job market of the future. From the YC S14 class to raising a $100 million Series C in April 2018 to the profitable, fast-growing company we are today, it's been quite the ride.

A little about our stack: Ruby/Sinatra/Rails, MySQL and Mongo, RabbitMQ and Kafka for queueing, React frontends, growing Golang and Python microservices, Kubernetes and Docker for deploying, Presto for our data warehouse, moving to gRPC for service communication.

We are looking for: - Engineers: Backend, Frontend, Fullstack, DevOps, Data/ML, BI, Security - Product: Designers, PMs, Program Managers

What were you migrating from? Most common filesystems have 255 byte limit for filenames. It looks like most of them don't have a explicit limit on path length, but Linux has a limit of 4096. Any idea how Google Drive is a solution since many of these limits seem to exist on the OS side of things?

You can "download" crappy, not very effective guns. And you still need to obtain the ammo (the actually lethal part) the old-fashioned way.

I would very much be surprised if it becomes possible for drugs or explosives any time within my lifetime. Chemistry and physics just don't work that way.
I think listening is also valuable because verbalizing a problem often brings up misconceptions or helps internalizing the idea and thus leads to a solution, maybe with a nudge in the right direction if that's expected in a dialog, thus not going the full way.

I had that experience sometimes when preparing a question to ask on-line. Sometimes it becomes clear when trying to see it from the other direction of the listener, or researching the problem space to phrase the question properly yields unexpected results.

I picked up an adage from an old engineer once:

“It doesn’t matter how many men or how much money you have, it still takes 9 months to make a baby”.

I do agree that science is underfunded, but sometimes money isn’t the problem, things just take time.
Thanks for your feedback. I would say that for the first use case, unless the "memorizing" feature is built in to the dictionary app, it's hard to do it automatically. You could use the OS's "Share" feature to manually add the word to the memory app.

I'm actually looking into displaying math equations. There are libraries out there so should be pretty straightforward.
The difference is that, if they take your phone away, there is nothing stopping them from putting child pornography (or terrorism plans, or a keylogger) on it without your knowledge.
At what expense? In this case, Goodwill. He is on Bloomberg.
I would say "don't go to Canada", but I'm not sure how common this is across the world. Does anyone have a sense of how common this draconian approach is? I have a US passport and have been to about 25 countries on six continents and have never experienced this, but borders see such mind bogglingly high numbers pass through that I wouldn't say I have a robust set of data points.

I posit that your bias is more likely due to you not being black rather than not being around them while growing up, and your reaction to a person of color is an a priori programming which simply tells you "not my tribe."

Tanium's product is basically computer security & management software for government and large enterprises. Forbes listed us as #4 on the Cloud 100 [1] and Fortune called us the "Usain Bolt of cyber­security." [2]

The former CIO of the US Air Force, said that Tanium is "game-changing ... allowing a tremendous amount of automation and reduced workloads for our network operations people significantly, meaning things that used to take them months is now down to seconds, or minutes." [3]

We have roles open in Engineering, Technical Account Management, Security, Sales, Legal, Marketing, Finance, HR, Accounting, and more. I called out a few interesting positions below.

Benefits include healthcare, 401k match, and self-directed PTO ("unlimited vacation" - most folks take 4~5 weeks). The Great Place to Work survey gave us top marks for challenges, atmosphere, rewards, price, communication, and more. [4]

Feel free to ask me about anything, reply here or email nathan.friedly@[company site].

Senior Software Engineer - The core is mostly C++, and then JavaScript for the modules and admin interface (AngularJS/Node.js, with work in progress to switch to React). There's also growing amounts of Python, particularly for endpoint scripting, and a tiny bit of Rust.

On site or US Remote (pick the closest one) - SF: https://grnh.se/ixfioowp1 | RTP: https://grnh.se/bxio4pg51

Associate or Director of Technical Account Management - The TAM organization is central to our company, and doesn't have any real parallels that I'm aware of. As a TAM, you'd be expected to set up a home lab with a network of machines (or VMs) running our software, and you'd be primarily responsible for advising 2~5 customers on how best to use Tanium. However, TAMs come from all kinds of backgrounds including sysadmin, ops, programming, and security, and really work together as a team to support each other and meet the needs of each customer.

(Note: "Director" is indicative of the responsibility level, but Director TAM is not a people-managing role.)
