I think python is generally used for AI and data science stuff, so you'd probably be better off learning that.

That said, I think one of the best ways to learn how to do something is dive right into it. I'm currently in the process of writing a deep learning library in C: https://github.com/siekmanj/sieknet

So if you're dead set on C++, I'd say the best way is to try to build something cool right off the bat.

Probably a lot of JavaScript developers who started in web land and are only now starting to be exposed to the underlying architecture.
What does "consumer" mean in that context?
As with many other rules of thumb, this rule is usually true, unless there's a specific circumstance that makes it not so.

If you just add more administrative stuff together with other people and specialists that already have n*(n-1) links between them, this will be a problem due to obvious reasons.

However, if you actually spend time to work out a process and organization that will not require additional each-to-each communication and make most of the communication remain in close groups, you may avert this. You can call this a human refactoring, if you will - very similar idea to separate functionality into small, encapsulated classes with smalles possible public interface instead of one huge g-d class.
Which of course raises the question what good will extensive financial assets be if all hell breaks loose?

One possibility for that scenario was explored at HN a short time ago:

I agree here. Dallas,TX transplant to Denver. Boulder seems to be where you get either: college students, families with some money, and pretty introverted "doing my own thing with my own small group" older singles.

On the flipside, there is nothing intellectual about Denver..... great people, love the outdoors, but having intellectual conversations not involving Broncos or Rockies doesn't happen.
It'll be interesting how far away from the offical $488 price the 9900K will end up. Due to the limited supply, the prices for the existing high-end Intel processors are not competitive anymore right now. The 8700K costs around 490€ right now here, that's something like a 150€ premium compared to previous prices.

I would suspect that the 9900K will also end up being priced way above the official price.
No mention of Ivan Sutherland and his Fleet Architecture?

If too many people don't buy Ryzen/Threadripper even though the price/performance is very competitive [1] then not much will change, effectively.

I will only buy Intel if I'm forced to by other people (think: employer, laptop). By my own choice, I will buy Ryzen/Threadripper whenever I can. And I will do so gladly, knowing I give my money to the David who's fighting Goliath and giving me a much better bang for the buck at the same time. Win/win.

>The Intel is probably faster...

Only in specific IPC heavy workflows.
As a 4790K owner, I couldn't agree more. I just got around to doing a mild overclock and honestly the chip isn't holding me back even gaming 4k@60fps.
I look for food, people, bars, atmosphere.

9to5mac also believed Apple on the whole 3rd party screen replaced iPhone 7/8 being bricked by OS upgrade was just a "bug and Apple is on top of fixing the situation". You know, after almost half a year of Apple playing stupid and ignoring angry customers.
> I've had multiple foreigner friends from dubai and US, and none of them felt that crime is extremely common.

How is a foreigner coming to Delhi for a few days going to have an idea of whether the crime is high or not?

> . Delhi has 24 million, SF isn't even 1 million.
Ha ha.

Delhi having 24 million population is another reason why he should not move there. The place is overpopulated.

> The absolutely number of crime is always going to be higher, but as long as you consider the crime rate it's low.

Delhi has the highest crime rate across all Indian cities. Almost twice as that of Banglore and Mumbai.

> It's not uncommon to make $60k if you are from a top tier college and in a top tier company.

No company is paying beginners anywhere near that salary in India (Unless you work for some quants). I have friends in Uber, Flipkart, media.net, Codenation, Google, Nutanix and they don't make anywhere near to $60k in hand. Again I am talking about beginners with 1 2 years experience. But if you are in Europe you can make much more than that if you are beginer.

> How many people in SF do you know who live alone in a high rise 3BHK floor, have a maid+driver and can get food delivered at 3AM?

I am pretty sure the people in SFO dont want to move to India just because they want a maid and driver. I dont think most people even care. It has almost nothing to do with quality of living. The factors that matter like personal safety, health, public services, education, transportation, nightlife, networking, weather, air quality, happiness, female friendliness etc are terrible in Delhi compared to SFO.

Again I know that you are happy with Delhi. You are born and raised in India and adapted to the country. Its not the same for a person who was born and raised in west. They are used to a higher quality of life. Its would be obvious to you if you visit the states :)

The actual headlines of the articles don't count as an example? They're easy to look up. You'll see that CNN published the same facts with two contradictory headlines, coincidentally changing their position to disagree with Trump.

I'd like to see what Breitbart publishes that's worth a ban.

Please feel free to provide ban worthy examples if you like, instead of a couple of minor mistakes of the kind every news organization makes in their headlines.

It is generally in the company's best interest to publicly disclose the vulnerability, and its effects.

The other parts to your question are:

1. Should the company be compelled to disclose the vulnerability?

I don't think that is reasonable. Enforcing this would be a nightmare anyway.

2. If they did not disclose the vulnerability, but it becomes public knowledge another way, should there be any recourse?

I think that should be decided and enforced by the users. Unfortunately, that is becoming steadily more difficult, as companies like Google grow, and there are fewer viable/available alternatives to their products.

3. Does a company have a moral imperative to share this information?

I think that the action to share such information takes a higher moral ground than to do otherwise.
It is also a bogus argument. In the UK police deal with knives all the time and the cops don't have guns. Only an elite swat like unit has weapons but not the day to day bobby. I'm pretty sure UK cops want to come home every day as well.
I would hope games know how to use more than 4 cores seeing as the current crop of consoles all have 8-core APUs, even if one or two of those cores are reserved for the OS/network stack.
It's still pushing the "loss of features a,b... that are actually useful to users enables features x,y..." narrative, which is rather frustrating. The S5 isn't some marvel of modern engineering that is incredibly expensive to produce.

> And the S6 doesn't have a removable battery, so what does that tell you about how Samsung felt about the engineering compromises they had to make with the S5 and all the rubber grommet-ing around its removable battery?

And I haven't bought a Samsung (or other mobile phone) since the S5, so what does that tell you about the quality of the recent mobile phone offerings?
GDPR enforcement would come into effect only if there was a breach and it was not handled.

From what is in the story and from what we know, there has been no breach.

As 'tptacek has noted, it is very unusual to announce a security bug without a resultant breach.
And from this day forth, Google+ will sit along with Google Reader as part of the pantheon of betrayals that HN commenters will bring up every single time Google announces a new product.

In Praise of Gratitude – Harvard Health
This is very touching and openly raw post. I have lost people close to me, and have never been able to express what I was feeling in the way it's presented here.

However... This Alex sounds like she was Super-Human. It comes across that there was nothing she couldn't do, or hasn't done. As much as people like to think the best of those departed, I am sure that everyone has parts of them that are.. just not any good.

When I die, I want people to be honest about who I was. Most of the time I am an opinionated grumpy shit, and hope that my eulogy shows me as I truly was, warts and all.
And it's not necessarily that the techniques being taught are wrong, just the context of how they're presented. There's a distinction to be made between Officer Safety and personal safety.

There's also the unfortunate reality that practical techniques like securing your sidearm or anticipating a threat can be misconstrued as threatening or intimating and can often escalate a situation.

There could also be some benefit to providing some training the public on what to expect and how to behave in the presence of a Police Officer. I was pulled over when I was a teenager and I immediately started digging in my glove box for my insurance card and registration. When I pulled them out and turned to my window I was greeted by the Officer's gun in my face.

There's also a lot to be said for training Officers on how to deal with the public and de-escalate situations. I was the victim of a public assault and while I was waiting to be interviewed by the Officer conducting the investigation, another Officer casually approached me. She acknowledged that I was upset, fidgety, and gesticulated when I spoke. She provided some consultation and advised me to keep my hands at my side and speak slowly while being interviewed by the other Officer.
I found the best solution is to quote everything from a tsv or csv file, in case someone requests a dataset in xlsx format. but whenever I get an xlsx file, I just learnt to always check for dates, it is sometimes possible to get around this if there are other identifiers or genomic coordinates, but some gene names will be converted to the same date, which leaves it impossible to backtrack the original genename.

Unfortunately it does not look like something to be solved:

QUOTE:
"Microsoft Excel is preprogrammed to make it easier to enter dates. For example, 12/2 changes to 2-Dec. This is very frustrating when you enter something that you don't want changed to a date. Unfortunately there is no way to turn this off. But there are ways to get around it."

If something is offensive, it doesn't mean that it's not true. People differ in ability: some have valuable skills and others don't.

Wasm promises a better compiler target than JS for alternative languages. It always seems odd to me that JS is so heavily defended when pretty much everything that makes up a modern JS stack are other compile-to-js languages: JSX, Elm, TypeScript, Clojurescript, Coffeescript -- hell even ES6 is for all practical purposes a compile to JS language.

Changing the game into "browsers run WASM" and JS is a built-in JIT compiler for it promises to make everyone's lives much easier.
This is a fair clarification per Google's followup: https://www.blog.google/technology/safety-security/project-s...

> At the same time, we have many enterprise customers who are finding great value in using Google+ within their companies.

Jet another 14nm CPU... so don't expect any noticeable performance boost. Even low-voltage iPhone XS CPU has the same single core performance as top-notch Intel processors for workstations... Apple is already using 7nm, but Intel needs at least 1-2 years more to make their 10nm manufacturing process working. This is what happend when a tech company only cares about high margin and nothing else.

If it wasn't exploited makes it even better...shows that you are being aggressive in identifying issues and applying corrections. Take advantage of opportunities to show transparency in a good light as well as meet your commitments to be transparent when events have not gone your way. This shouldn't be about how many reports you have to issue. Google can afford the staff to make that happen.
Not true. Ad words is bigger. And to do that, they need to know as much about what you want or what you could want in order to deliver a nice juicy targeted ad.

Advertisers can now target not just classes of people, but in fact target specific people, and they'll pay a premium for that.
You lose a lot of single core performance, and TR4 motherboards are also a bit pricier than their AM4 counterparts.
What in the story indicates that there was no breach. The story says that they didn't keep a large enough set of activity logs to determine whether data was improperly accessed, not that there was no breach.

I think they should announce it. It seems pretty optimistic to have an application with buggy code that exposes user data, yet claim that there is no chance that an error or oversight prevented it from being logged.

I lost my wife just over five years ago after nearly 21 years of marriage. The grief process is complicated.

Without a doubt, focusing on the here-and-now and being grateful for the support and encouragement I received (and continue to receive) from family, friends, and even strangers over the years has helped me get to a place of peace and acceptance in my life.

Like the article mentioned, the unexpected kindnesses of acquaintances and strangers absolutely helped me through this process.

If you're ever in doubt about reaching out and letting someone in need know that you're thinking about them, just do it. It is helpful.

Portland, Maine

Yes, there's another Portland out there and it hits way above it's weight. If you are an outdoorsy person who likes to nerd, live well and actually have a pay check left over - I strongly recommend a visit out here. In my early 30's and spent my 20's living in Boston, London and NYC.

I'd need a salary of +$500K to ever consider leaving Portland.
i generally don't have social on my iPhone, but i left it on my iPad. even that distance has been helpful.. i can move around in the world with a phone in my pocket without being triggered/tempted all the time. then when i'm home and feel like being social-media-ish, i do. but the ipad is big enough that it's a more deliberate action to grab it and open the social apps. and since i'm not feeding social from my iPhone -- my engagement potential is quite a bit lower. i'm less invested in it, so i can open, scan and close in ways that were less likely just a while ago.

to the point of younger generations not wanting it: my 14 year old son refuses a phone, and has declared he'll never have a social media account. not sure if that's likely to last forever, but whatever social is these days .. he's highly averse.

And this is really the problem. If we don't capture the statistics we won't know and we won't be able to change things or try to change things. I don't know why they won't institute a reporting program. Even the CDC doesn't collect statistics (which would come from hospitals or the coroners)..
Companies internally find and fix security bugs all the time and dont talk about it if no known breach occured. Is there a requirement to do this? Maybe there should be a requirement to document that due diligence occurred to understand if it was exploited?
I would appreciate a NSFW warning on that youtube link. I 'noped' out as soon as I saw "upskirting" in the title.
Like you mentioned, the thing that causes millions of people needing to move in a short timescale these days is caused by humans, ie. wars. Even if sea-level rise is as bad as the most dire predictions and the Bangladeshis can't find a way to build some dikes, it will still take many multiple decades for parts of Bangladesh to become "uninhabitable".
I agree that these are not universal truths. But I also think that remote workers tend to be self selecting. Those who are successful remote workers do have "the motivation to own the things they're working on" and that fact builds a very strong team.

> terms of distractions, some people don't like "distractions" but plenty of companies rely on what might be seen as noise to cause chance encouters, overhearing of conversations and the banter and energy that is much easier to generate in an office.

I greatly prefer using a corporate message service (Google Hangouts Chat, Slack, etc.) for corporate conversations and banter because the conversations are not ephemeral, and you can catch up on things that are happening. Now, obviously, people can have private conversations too, but I think everyone being able to see the public conversations promotes cohesion and alignment.
Unless they are 100% certain it hasn't been exploited, yes. The reputational and legal risk to appearing to not disclose / cover up an issue is far larger than the issue itself. That changes if they are absolutely certain it was not exploited: then it's just a bug that they fixed and there's no impact beyond that.
