This wasn't our device. There was a big, reputable company behind the device. We were ordering a number of those and they would be shipped to us directly from China.

Also, we were basically locked in due to the magnitude of investment in the software we have developed for the device.

Fortunately this only lasted for few months until it was dealt with. It was quite new back then (a decade ago) and it was a surprise for everybody I guess.
I know plenty of people for whom their high IQ is actually a hindrance rather than a help. So even for them it matters (greatly) but not in a positive way.

The best determinants for being successful, in spite of a high IQ or lack thereof are the ability to focus and to have stamina.

> Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.

People who persevere but fail are also very common, so this does not prove its claim.
I agree that it matters less. One thing is to have a high IQ, the other is to apply that IQ to your every day life. However, it is not sufficient to base your success on IQ alone, effort matters too and those who have a high IQ tend to put less effort into things
I started in COBOL back in the 90s. When I was working in that shop, one of my older co-workers told me about a guy he knew. That guy left his service/repair gig at IBM to start his own shop, he knew how to fix punch-card machines.

For the decade I worked there, my buddy told me that his pal made a very good living repairing those machines, even though they were long out of fashion and 'there was no market'.

Seems the same is true for software, too.

I also use Phabricator like you do, but the author makes a compelling argument to use a stack of master commits rather than individual branches.

> Firstly it means I can still pull master and rebase my changes to update them fairly easily.

Like the author says, you can do this, but it's easier when your commits are stacked on master (you only do one rebase vs. rebasing each of your branches).

> Secondly it means I can work on more than one thing at a time (who only ever has one task in progress?)

Read the article, the author uses interactive rebases to edit commits.

> finally having a change split into several commits can make code review easier

How? The reviewer doesn't see those commits, unless you submit them as separate revisions, in which case they wouldn't be on the same branch.

> As far as I can tell the only significant difference between these two approaches is that with `arc` the history in the repository ends up nice and linear, without loads of branches.

Either approach would have the same result, it's all about how things are organized in your local repository.

I'm not fully convinced (the tooling isn't exactly built for this workflow and you lose "arc feature"), but I like the idea.

I believe in the observational effects of something we call gravity. As to its nature, that is still unknown. GR is one model/theory and it works most of the time. But there are observations that do not fit into this model. That is the sticking point - these observation suggest that, though GR is useful, it is seriously flawed.

Can we use it, yes. But to believe that it is true, that is something quite different.
Wouldn't "the bank itself" be the asset worth $13m? In the same buy-out as happens to a lot of sports teams, as long as you have friendly lenders, you can structure the deal to buy the asset, using the asset as the collateral (like a huuuuge car loan).

If it's always going to cost $13m to get a bank shell, then (although there might not be many buyers), the bank now has a $13m "thing" which they can take ownership of if it goes down the pan.

Seriously, I'm saddened to see all this overwhelming hype and "excitement" --- I am a developer myself, and just don't get it: I have used .NET apps before, and I could immediately tell it was such just from the speed (or lack thereof) and memory consumption --- the difference is obvious. It's the same with Java, which is not at all surprising. The absurd amount of object-oriented obfuscation I encountered in the few times I had to debug someone else's code in C# probably contributes to that too.

Taking over a second just to load an extremely simple app from localhost in the demo says all I need to know about this --- "no thanks". Please consider your users' experience...
This article is more or less total bullshit. At _best_ that device might be a mechanism to cause failure intentionally. And there are tons of ways to detect it with commodity technology, and plenty of vendors who implement that technology for assembly manufactures commercially.
Yup, many Germans just love their honorifics, even if they are only for show, it shows their "standing/accomplishments" and thus is an extremely important part of their social identity, that's why many insist on using their full honorifics when referring to them: "I'm not just a professor in XY, I'm also a doctor in XYZ and ZYX!".

That's why bought honorific titles, usually by foreign universities/academies are a somewhat popular business in Germany. [0]

It's the same deal with "siezen" and "duzen", some Germans take a lot of offense if you simply "du" them. To them, that's a sign of lacking respect towards them.

Imho Germans are very similar to Japanese in a lot of these things. The form is often way more important than function, at least in a lot of social matters.

`rebase -i` is fine (`commit --fixup` and `rebase --autosquash -i` is better), squashing all commits down into one is not (at least doing it all the time is not).
You may be able to run certain modern CPU units on an FPGA, maybe even one modern core, but compare the 4 million LUTs the biggest FPGA has to the 19 billion transitors a 32 core AMD EPYC has. With a LUT wildly variable equivalence of 1 to 1-50 ASIC transistors depending on the logic implemented, there's still one order of magnitude gap between them at best.

In practice, Verilog simulators are used instead, they're slow as a dead horse on smack, but it's the only way to have full (logic) system integration of such big designs.

Kubernetes is likely here to stay. If you're interested in running a cluster to undestand what the hype is all about and to learn something new, you should do it. Also, ignore everybody telling you that this platform wasn't meant for that.

Complexity is a weak argument. Once your cluster is running you just write a couple of manifests to deploy a project, versus: ssh into machine; useradd; mkdir; git clone; add virtual host to nginx; remember how certbot works; apt install whatever; systemctl enable whatever; pm2 start whatever.yml; auto-start project on reboot; configure logrotate; etc. Can this be automated? Sure, but I'd rather automate my cluster provisioning.
PhD is almost never about high IQ, its about perseverance.
Yes, that's true.

But from the article, I gather that there weren't signs of forced entry or robbery. So investigators very likely suspected that the victim knew the murderer. And so mom and step-dad were likely on the short list.

Also, they'd still have seen his car in the video. And they knew when she stopped showing up at work.

Interesting about how some of the trojan chips were hidden in PCB substrate layers to avoid optical detection. For a much stealthier approach again, it was shown in 2013 that slighting changing the dopant mask for a few gates on Intel Ivy Bridge chips could render RNGs insecure[1][2]. Mask inspection systems[3] are used to detect mask manufacturing defects, but the question then is, do those inspection systems use Super Micro motherboards?

The point is that the process was to assure the device wasn't tampered AFTER shipped from manufacturer. Nobody thought it could already have been modified so early in the process.

If you're smart enough to get a bachelors or masters in a subject, you're smart enough to get a PhD in the subject. What will make or break you is your tenacity and willpower and not giving up when it becomes a dull hard slog.

And realistically the difference in quality/difficulty level of work people do to get their PhD is massive. Some people revolutionize their field for decades to come and some do a slightly more drawn out bachelors level thesis. Yet they both end up with the same degree.

I wonder how many IQ test misclassify intelligence? Feynman had a score of 125 and many people here have a high score than that. I bet no one here with a higher score of 125 are actually smarter than Feynman though. I think this is just one of many possible such examples where IQ test miss the purported people they were suppose to capture. Feynman’s score wouldn’t even qualify him for MENSA.

I wonder how many IQ exams misclassify the intelligence of smart people with disabilities of some sort or high functioning autism. Not saying any of this applies to Feynman, he is just an example of where the test didn’t accurately capture his intellect.

Far longer than 20 years. The idea of trust, privacy and security has been discussed for a long time. The complexity of security on just on one specific technology ( compilers ) was discussed in the early 1980s by Ken Thompson.

"Reflections on Trusting Trust"

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13569275

Compilers are just one part of a complex ecosystem. Now imagine having to check ABI or the physical chips/hardware themselves. Where you require sophisticated hardware.

The motto of technology is "In Trust We Trust".
"People with astigmatism (approximately 50% of the population) find it harder to read white text on black than black text on white. Part of this has to do with light levels: with a bright display (white background) the iris closes a bit more, decreasing the effect of the "deformed" lens; with a dark display (black background) the iris opens to receive more light and the deformation of the lens creates a much fuzzier focus at the eye." - Jason Harrison – Post Doctoral Fellow, Imager Lab Manager – Sensory Perception and Interaction Research Group, University of British Columbia

This quote describes the situation well I think, why the opinions differ and why neither dominates UIs really.
I always like to point out that a problem here is that people don't always recognise it when intellectual effort happens. Most people talk about someone being intelligent because they can get good grades without studying or similar. But not studying doesn't mean there's not an intellectual effort. In fact, most intelligent people are intelligent or stay that way because they are constantly listening, analyzing, learning and thinking in their day to day. Then maybe they don't need to separately study a subject that much. They are used to learn and they already got it. (you get the point)

So, I don't think it's strange, it's usually very different to the "physical training" example, because people don't see it directly.

Only if you’re lucky. Priority is checking boxes and meeting audit requirements.

If you’re running an IDS on a big 100 Gb datacenter network, you’re literally processing millions of events. Very few places would notice such a thing unless they were investigating something related, and the ones with the capability are going to be for static workloads as getting anything done will be slow and painful.
Oh sorry, didn't read the article and jumped to conclusions :-(
Intrusion detection involves connections coming from the outside. These attacks originate inside the network, from the compromised equipment.

Except on extremely controlled networks, this would be very hard to detect. It gets even worse when you consider that the Chinese had/have a distributed network of compromised machines. Imagine using a Google edge server as a dead drop...

We recently switched to google sites. It’s simplicity was a sore point for me at first. But now I like it. Having only a few features has forced us to keep things simple. This enables our non-tech team to use it better and contribute too. I think ease of content maintenance is a HUGE value.
Anyone who knows that their D&D Character with a 20 INT isn't invincible. You have to have a combination of scores in all of the attributes to succeed. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't apply this to real life.

That being said, I often find that I over-think tasks, and end up never completing them because I try to make them perfect, and find out at some point that I can't.

What's more important than "perfect" is "good enough", and sometimes a high IQ won't allow you to accept that.

It's one of the things I hate about myself at times.

Job title suggestions for “{Dev,Sec,Net}Ops” team
I recently transitioned to a new role in my company. I'm leading a new team that focuses on infrastructure, network, and application security. Basically we've structured the team in such a way that we can fight fires (a server is down, etc) but we also have bandwidth to work on long term projects that improve security or reliability.

We work closely with the support, QA, and development teams and one of our members is in every development sprint to help with CI/CD or any ad-hoc needs (what some people may refer to as "DevOps").

This structure is a significant improvement for us but because we've been so focused on development, and just now have the need to create a new team for sysadmin, security, and ops related tasks that we're not sure of the appropriate name of the new team, or what my title should be as manager of this team. I'm personally not fond of the term "DevOps" in job or team titles, feel free to change my mind.

Looking for suggestions! Thanks!

> weird idea that intelligence without effort can yield results

In my experience, that 'weird idea' comes from early schooling. Highly intelligent (gifted?) kids generally don't have to exhibit any effort on school work, at least up to a certain time. I can tell you that, in my case, I coasted up until around 11th grade, then I hit a bit of a mental wall. I'm sure other physiological changes impacted, but at core, I didn't know how to study or exert effort in 'learning' - everything had just fallen in to place for so long that I didn't have the skill or experience to learn how to get better. This was a confounding factor in college as well.

I've shared this with other folks, and had more than a few people share similar experiences.

If Usain just ran really fast, and people said "wow, you're fast", but he wasn't trained at how to get better, he probably wouldn't have become a world champ. But with 'raw intelligence', that often doesn't receive the same sort of coaching and support as specific sports or other identifiable talents.
Swedish police fires a gun, on average, about 30 times per year, with about half of those being "for effect" as opposed to being shot with the intent to kill.

The united states doesn't track the number of times police shoot a gun, only the number of times police murder somebody. That number is over 1,000 people per year.[0]
