It’s very helpful and the implementation is ingenious but not very complicated.

Vertical scrolling changes the timing of the bad lines and horizontal scrolling the timing of the bitmap data fetched and this causes the image to come out at a different position.

There are a lot of creative tricks you can do with this though, especially with vertical scrolling.

It may be written from scratch, but you did copy the design. IANAL, but such a basic design "inspiration" should not lead to legal issues, though.

I think there are ways to spin Stripe's investment as a customer acquisition play. If they have more influence over Lambda School curriculum or partnerships by merit of being an investor, and Lambda School is churning out web developers whose first instinct is to turn to Stripe for all things billing, that seems like a pretty reasonable use of investor capital to me.

Someone made a similar comment about YC a few weeks ago – how if you were building dev tools, even though $150k for 7% results in a lower valuation than many founders could find elsewhere, you could consider the equity the price for access to the YC network and existing companies to use your product.
It's interesting to note that the organization supposedly at the center of the investigation of this tampering of Supermicro servers—the FBI—has never issued a statement on the veracity of the story. Strange silence...
similar - went through a pair of QC20 - replaced 5 times in 3 years. rarely do we get extended warranties - my wife had read a few places saying to get it, and we did. she got a pair - no problems, but she uses them at most a few hours a week. mine, I'm wearing probably 8-10 hours per day, 7 days a week. I slept with them in, initially, but I'm sure that contributed to the first breakage, so I quit doing that.

That's been my experience with people who go on about how terrible the Bose headphones are. You can get passive noise cancelling with Shure in ear phones (basically ear plugs) that is pretty good, but Bose is by far the best for active noise cancelling.

Their build quality and sound is also pretty good. I have a decent music background and also have Sennheiser HD650s which the audiophile crowd loves, but I think their build quality is cheap plastic (they're also open, require an amp, and cost $400).

I think the Bose hate is mostly tribal nonsense - it's cool to signal audiophile virtue by hating a dominant brand that lay people like.

Google's hubris is believing engineering brilliance alone can solve everything. They are consistently bogglingly bad at human interaction -- communications, PR, management, UX, customer service.

There always seems to be a lack of well-roundedness at Google. It didn't really matter back when they just did search, but now that they're expanding into other fields, they're looking more and more like an expert hammerer than an master of many tools.

> merely an unexploited vulnerability

The footnote there is, unexploited in the last 2 weeks they had logs for. They have no way of knowing if it was exploited earlier than that.
I got my start in the supply chain end (safety critical systems, mostly for airliners some DoD aircraft). I moved to other related areas (though not always safety critical). I had a number of friends who went to the big companies like Boeing and Airbus and they found it either very good or very bad, not much in the middle. They either had interesting (for them) work, or were stuck in a kind of nursery waiting for things to do for months at a time, and prevented from doing anything else meaningful by various corporate policies. That is my only real hesitation with those types of companies as places for a first job in the field.

They don't tell if it was exploited, all they said was "we have no logs".

Except the Apple phones don't have edge to edge screens. Currently there has to be electronics located on the edge of screens.

Apple has chosen to distribute these around their screens. Most Android phone makers have instead chosen to place them at the bottom.of the screen.

This means that in general Apple has larger edges than Android notch phones on 3 sides but no bottom chin. Android notch phones in general have a smaller distance between the edge of the screen and the edge of the phone but a larger lower chin.

You purchased servers from 2013-2015 in May? As in used servers?
I have occasionally but not in anger, and not for a while. It's a good point you make, but my experience recently with Azure DevOps is similar or worse to that I dealt with previously on Azure.

Worst thing about it is that I was originally impressed with Azure DevOps - the onboarding was awesome, almost combined the best bits of GitLab / GitHub with none of the crap of Jenkins. It was only after going back a couple of days later it let me down.
I did not specify an exact scenario because that was not the point I was trying to make (it was actually meant mostly as a joke, no?). If they already have to fight with so many bugs, disabling it will be just as hard on the one hand, and the operators already have top live with disabling issues in the non-invaded system, as one comment posted here said, they didn't even notice the invasion because it didn't feel different from normal operation :-)

The Dictatorship of Data (2013)
Yeah - when I add to it that, as a non-American, I can (annectodaly) observe a rise in different kinds of news that involve China in a negative context for the last 6m especially, it's hard to form an opinion.

In terms of security concerns also - come on, we know by now to which lengths the US goes in this area, and they're surely doing worse stuff than this, I'd expect no one would doubt it any more. So, either they are genuinely surprised by this, which would be silly (a politically adversarial nation using an obvious opportunity - cheaper stuff being produced there for decades - and doing the same), or it's a part of a broader narrative that's being built.

And, to be clear, I don't think we (the world outside China) shouldn't be a bit worried given in what position _we've_ put China and how strong they are now - it's just that this kind of mass-manipulation and propaganda is the most-detested way of doing it for me...
You may get downvoted so I just want to say that I agree with you. The dot bomb and housing bubble were political events, not financial. We have fundamental problems in our economy that aren't being addressed:

* Tax brackets haven't been adjusted in decades, so when people begin making modest amounts of money, say $50-100,000 per year, their taxes increase too fast and they don't feel wealthier. I would suggest keeping the bracket shapes but shifting them to the right by at least 2x to account for inflation. This amounts to a tax cut for the poor and keeping taxes roughly the same for the rich (the opposite of what's been done since 1980). Then we should (obviously) gradually raise taxes over 5-10 years to match the deficit.

* Interest rates are too low because politicians don't want to put the brakes on the economy. The flip side is that they have no way to press the accelerator when the economy tanks. The end result being exaggerated booms and busts, exactly as we have seen in 2000/2001 and 2008 (which means that we're overdue for a bust with current Fed interest rate policy).

* Corporations can be based in the US but act as foreign multinationals by hiding their taxes. Fixing this is trivial but depends on getting money out of politics. See: Citizens United, campaign finance reform and publicly funded elections.

The above are econ 101. My personal thoughts on this are that rents, houses and cars cost an order of magnitude too much for what they provide. We spend an order of magnitude too much on the military. We don't build enough or reward makers enough because the financial sector of the economy is twice as big as it used to be and we're obsessed with 40 hour weeks instead of progress or quality of life. I'm 41 and have never seen any of these things change in my lifetime, so am expecting a major downturn in the economy sometime in the next 2-5 years, followed by a series of knee-jerk populist reactions that ensure a repeat 10 years later (downturns are where the wealthy make more money, as they have the capital to buy up assets).
I've thought this for awhile, and have seen other articles about it.

While Amazon and Microsoft seem to be executing well on their respective visions, Google, Apple, and Facebook all seem asleep at the wheel. Nothing gamechanging from any of them, lots of scandals and user complaints piling up.

There's nothing unusual about it. Big companies usually go this route. It is frankly amazing when they don't.

That is dead, for me. Sadly. Since the original is also dead.
Pomme is totally lying about privacy. They are just a little more clever in how they portray themselves to the public.

Everything is networked, and anyone with LS (maybe other tools exist, but LS certainly serves my needs well) can see how many times actions are taken in the form of outgoing requests on your primary content-creation/programming device that isn't just a passive device meant to consume content, and few people have the ability to participate as independent producers of gateways. And on a cell, you have zero visibiility at all. Its a different discussion, but the last time I looked, static IP on your "home" connection - $500 one time fee, and reasonable gigabit speeds in the age of new content? $200/mo.
It is a farce that in 2018 Northeastern ISPs get away with 17Mb/s. You have to pay another gatekeeper when in principle I am another node on the network and have all the computers I would possibly need to run a high-availability web service.

But back to la Pomme. They specifically push software updates to individual devices when you reach a certain expense level and cause devices to malfunction deliberately so you have to replace it. This has been documented but the IP lawyers shut you down when you start to talk about it because trade secrets.

When they see you don't have AppleCare (or AppleCare+, or AppleCare++, whatever they want to call it) on a device they will deliberately cause that device to malfunction using a device-specific OTA update that causes things like dead pixels, and other visible obstructions that make the device slightly less usable than it was before.

There is no privacy. If the above isn't the ultimate abrogation of privacy then I don't know what is. And if youre a pure Internet company, then you just don't even have to bother with all those gymnastics since the backend code is yours.

Consumers need to start demanding more visibility into what exactly a company is doing. If they knew, I'm sure they would be outraged at the constant lies they are told. The charade has reached unbelievable proportions.

Fully agree with his comments as someone who's used GKE, AKS, EKS and Hetzner for kubernetes clusters.

GCP's UX is so nice... e.g. compare the equivalent as command line option in the UI vs the automation script that Azure gives you.

Sandsifter – The X86 Processor Fuzzer
General advertising is not a problem. Individually targeted advertising is.

General advertising includes the sign on the door or exterior of the brick and mirter storefront, as well as billboards, magazine/newspaper ads, and product placement in media. It ranges from almost entirely informative (on the storefront) to annoying and off-putting (some billboards, poorly done product placement). This advertising is passive.

Individually targeted ads use extra information about the individual to cater the ad, and thus have an incentive to collect this information. This advertising is active, in that it is bidirectional.

Passive advertising not only still provides some benefit for much less harm, it's also hard to distinguish from purely informational materials in some cases.

It's worth distinguishing these to prevent bike-shedding over details that can be safely ignored when we formulate our arguments accurately.

Edit: s/targeted/individually targeted/ to make it more specific and accurate. That is the theme of the comment, after all...

Having introduced Golang in a business environment in 2014 and having seen the language solve real problems at that time, at scale, I feel that if your own reason to not use Go is GOPATH... Either Go does not solve any real problems for your use case, or your reasons to use Go is misaligned.

GOPATH is really not a problem, but efficient concurrency is. Go made the company I worked for go from 20 deployments for a service to 1 (I/O bound), reducing the costs for that service a lot. If you are willing to let the environment get in between that...

Of course, you could have implemented that system using assembler for all I care, but Go really made it possible within that organization, something Java, C and other languages failed at before Go was introduced.

Tech execs named to Saudi board amid reportedly murdered journalist controversy
I agree with you on that we shouldn't assume that we know what's best for every user. But how big corporations behave is driven by greed more than anything else. Companies like Google and Facebook are becoming more greedy for data by the day and have started to cross ethical boundaries. And personally, I think greed is not good for anybody.
Actually yes. It takes a horde of military personnel to operate the hodgepodge of modern military information systems and technologies. There's nothing easy about it. All sorts of incompatible and buggy tools. Our enemies would have a hard time putting to work the military command & control apparatus -- I mean, we already have trouble enough as it is.

But that doesn't mean the enemy can't learn information and be able to predict our next moves in a conflict. Like what we did with the enigma in WWII, we are subject to the same type of listening where someone knows our next move before we make it.
There's going to be a large group of people (myself included) who graps the system but refuses to use it because it's pointless and stupid.

> It's always obvious where your dependencies are located and which versions are going to be used to build your project.

More obvious than specifying the version in some dependencies file?

What dependency management system doesn't allow you to do this if you insist?
> Even better, it lets use very easily drop into those dependencies and add minor changes or debugging lines if you need to.

I've done this quite a bit with typical Ruby+bundler setups. I think the key is that both Go and Ruby start from source code, vs. something like Java where your dependencies are compiled JARs without source (of course, there is infrastructure to enable easy fetching of the source when available).

This is similar to my experience with Nix package manager. It's purely source-based with binary packages seen as something like a compiler cache. It's easy to get the source to a package, make some tweaks, and build (and use) a custom version (at least I personally have found it far easier than Debian, even with apt making it easy to get the source).
Original title: "Top tech industry execs named to a Saudi advisory board amid controversy over reportedly murdered journalist" (28 characters too long).
I think this can be a downfall of the US military if they ever get into a conflict with a capable enemy. They are so used to use super complex and expensive weapons against enemies who can't really put up a resistance. I wonder what would happen to the B-2 bomber or aircraft carriers if they had to fight China. My guess is these weapons would be eliminated very quickly.
I'm glad this is finally being talked about more openly. Most of the stuff I've seen regarding issues of false accusations comes from MRAs and the like. And while I don't see an issue with MRAs as a rule, the general public seems to take issue which means that most of the discussion coming from men's rights forums isn't taken seriously.

I've been nervous about this issue since the #metoo movement and "believe the victim" slogans first started making rounds. As a female who has been assaulted and violated sexually at various points in my life, my instinct is to support believing the victim because had I been believed, I would have gone through far less pain. But that's the problem. It seems like a good idea, especially to people like me who have experienced sexual violence, but it is not at all a good idea. You cannot sacrifice innocent lives to make sure that every victim has justice. That's not justice!

We face a really difficult obstacle right now. Many victims do not have proof that they were assaulted, especially if they were not penetrated or also physically assaulted, which means that many victims will never get justice if we do not automatically believe them. That's uncomfortable and painful, but that's an issue we have to sort out while also understanding that our axiom "innocent until proven guilty" is an axiom that also prevents abuse.
