It's Russia: that woman would be beaten into a pulp by now if it was real.
Sure, but names matter, don't they?
These industries would come in at a cost to existing ones, essentially zero sum on jobs.

Consumers do not have enough pressure and tend to go for cheaper option rather than cleaner. And for avoiding imagined concentrated fears rather than diffuse long term loss. Which is why we're in the current predicament.
> The myth that kids that age are all digital natives and hence much more adept at learning CS amd programming is wrong.

This is unfortunately very true. It's kinda sad seing my nephews and nieces struggling when using a desktop computer.
I guess scrolling down on instagram and watching netflix doesn't teach you anything about computers.
The same way secure-boot provides protection against hardware modification / evil maid type attacks in CPUs today: by verifying the integrity of the code that's about to be booted before the CPU boots it.

It would significantly raise the cost and difficulty of this sort of attack.
Exactly. I don't see why you would do this in another application. Doing it in another application means you also have to take note of _where_ the piece of your TODO is. That means filename and line number?

While I don't use priorities, I do liberally use "// TODO: <problem statement>" if it's something I need to do that takes me out of the current problem. Then when I'm finishing up a feature or bug fix, I just walk past the list of TODO's.

A recent example would be: On this new project I was on, while implementing a feature, I didn't know how resource files were handled yet -- so I hardcoded some strings with a "// TODO: Put these strings in resource files". Researching the way resource files are handled will pull you out of the current problem, while it's something that can easily be solved later.

> The system uses optical scans, microscopy, X-ray tomography, and artificial intelligence to compare a printed circuit board and its chips and components with the intended design.

Could it detect a change within a chip? If not, then it makes such an attack harder to execute, but not impossible. Especially for a nation state.
> Perhaps Bloomberg's reporters fell for a conspiracy theory this time.

According to

> https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/10/04/supermicro_bloomber...

"Bloomberg reporters receive bonuses based indirectly on how much they shift markets with their reporting. This story undoubtedly did that. The publisher employs roughly 2,000 journalists, who are encouraged to work together and share information through their Bloomberg Terminals, with many layers of editing and fact checking, and it has a zero tolerance on errors: it is inconceivable that it would publish a story this huge that wasn't watertight."
In addition to what others have said, the concern about pixel-imperfect star tracking is somewhat moot, as we're talking about two different cameras. The effect on the imaging camera is very small.

There is the star tracker camera (widefield, fast), and the imaging camera (narrowfield, slow).

Star trackers use a fast widefield camera because it's easy to get a good signal:noise ratio (there is a lot of contrast between the stars and the background).

The imaging camera, on the other hand, generally takes much longer exposures (HST subjects are generally very dim, relative to stars). All those beautiful, nebulous HST photographs you see? Those have exposure times on the order of hours or days. In practice, being off by a pixel momentarily is not a big concern -- the amount of "bad" photons you collect during that time is very small.

I don't think it's unreasonable to demand that there are laws against people shitting in the streets and leaving infected drug needles all over the place and that these laws are also acted upon by law enforcement.
Nice try Mr. Moth.
If you're using notmuch and Gmail, I'd recommend taking a look at gmailieer - https://github.com/gauteh/gmailieer. It uses the Gmail API to fetch mail into a local maildir and keeps the tags synced bidirectionally.

The downside is that for whatever reason the Gmail API doesn't support the mute label, so having that tag sync is not possible. (If a Googler reads this, please fix that! For others, there's already an issue filed as referenced in the gmailieer readme.)
By the way from other french articles:
For 30 euros, you gave him a phone number, he would give you his bank statements. For 50 euros, he would give you his identity. For 150 euros, driver license number, date of delivery, ID card number, social security number, license plate…. You could even know about the flights he booked.

For 300 euros, could get his entire life. It was possible to get the police documents and those from Interpol. But the most interesting with the 300 euros offer was that with a simple phone number you could get all his phone calls and it's physical location even month before. This was what chocked me the most. There was a higher price for celebrities and politicians : I believe those people have a special status.
> Is telling partial truth lying?

Are we in kindergarten? Off course it is lying.
I have published this link because I was chocked when I encountered this news. This does not match with my understanding of police. In such services as DGSI, I would expect to see many smart people who have a true vocation for the service and some ambitious politicians who try to climb the hierarchy (not exclusive). Of course, there are some depressive, desperate, alcoolic or crazy people. Maybe there are spies paid by foreign countries, but I would not expect to see greedy treators. Maybe, I have a crazy theory. What if this guy was selling this data to try to catch big fishes ? What if this guy did this in secret because his boss is a risk averse politician ? A person frustrated by the inertia or other ineffectivity of the service and experiencing other difficulties in their life may fall into this madness. I think they have regular psychological assessment because this job is very hard.

I am just an imaginative layman. My source of knowledge about police is my father (RIP) who was a police officer. He had friends who worked in dgsi.
I don't know why you've been downvoted, when you make a good point.

I do think that for young people, "the people who is around" will not be necessarily people near in the physical world. Teenagers mainly communicate through chat groups, and work trends don't seem to go towards encouraging more physical presence.

Thus a reaction against current social networks would take the form of using more private, ephemeral channels (think Snapchat), and reduced, more controlled usage of public-facing ones (Tweeter, Facebook, Instagram).

5 Questions You Should Ask Before Joining Training Institute
The main outcomes would be localized famines, general food shortage, freshwater shortage, increased heat, mass migrations, some flooding.

What do you think we can do about those antecedents we're not doing right now? (not argumentative, maybe I'm missing something)

We will have to deal with the source of the problem sooner or later; given enough trapped heat most of the planet will turn into deserts.

> It would significantly raise the cost and difficulty of this sort of attack.

In my opinion, modifying the board layout with the additional chip and modifying the production process for the server boards stealthily already has a pretty high cost and difficulty.
This would still not pick up malicious surface-mount devices.

Imagine a subverted NOR FLASH device with malicious firmware booting your board-management device. Its still a SPI FLASH with the same (apparent) device id. The contents would just be different.

Let it grow from being just your vision to become a small group's vision.
At least in my domain (veterinary, idk about medicine but if the same, that's frightening), they have seemingly no selection and numerous universities are offering the degree (even much more than smaller countries). So their degree is shit (no time for practice, only theoretical and you'll learn more once in the job), there are too many of them anyways and they can't find jobs.

Also can't think of any portugese scientist, or portugese based lab renowned for anything in biology or computer science.

They could do spot checks where they remove the cap and compare pictures, but it's rather eh.

Maybe testing could work? Hook it up to a testing device and have it run through a suite of tests not known by the manufacturer, as well as fuzzing tests. They might find additional bugs in their own design as well that way.

This is the point, though. Everyone expecting financial security has to trust. There is no alternative.
Many good suggestions in this thread, but I would suggest looking into cities in the 100 000 - 150 000 range with a good university nearby if you want to try something different from living with millions of people.

I moved from my million person metropolitan area to Sundsvall, Sweden and it is very cheap (I pay about €600 for a two bedroom apartment in the absolute center of the city, I have no need for a car when it comes to day-to-day transportation) and the intellectual community is very vibrant here with meet-ups for software engineering and machine learning, as well as a maker space run by people with degrees in electrical engineering.

Only problem? You climb in salary by switching jobs and small places are often dominated by a few players when it comes to tech. But, for people who are fine not climbing as fast as in a big city I can definitely recommend it.

There are downsides to KL, but in my opinion its not either of those.

House prices - Not according to https://www.propertyguru.com.my, I looked up Cyberjaya as an example (~15mins on train to KL sentral) and freehold $120,000usd for a 4bedroom/2bathroom place, 1 bedroom condo for much less. That would buy you half a car parking place in Hong Kong (on leasehold no less). Regardless you'd just rent anyway, at least for first few years, $300-$400pm for a nice serviced condo with pool/gym. No point buying unless you eventually get a permanent residence.

English language - I never had a problem with English in KL or Penang or even Alor Setar, except maybe one of the old roadside tea vendors, but that's probably my northern accent. It might not be Singapore or HKG level but it aint significantly off.

Sadly there are a lots of flaws of LEDs, I think they are put in the spotlight a bit too early. While they are a lot better than previous light saving technologies (like CFLs which took a minute or two to warm up), most of the bulbs in the market currently have lots of drawbacks:

- Their CRI is pretty low, around 80.

- They flicker causing eye strain.

There are now LEDs that solve both, its just a pain to find them (and cost 2-10x more than other LEDs.)
Hard to put a price on astroscience or cosmology. Hubble was just recently assisting in the search for the very first discovered exo-moon.

http://earthsky.org/space/1st-exomoon-neptune-sized-kepler-1...

In the mid-1990s, after Hubble had its optics corrected, researchers were already planning its successor. The catch phrase in NASA at the time was “faster, better, cheaper.” JWT was announced in 1996 to a standing ovation, yet it's current planned launch is due 25 years after that announcement. (note that it's infrared, not optical)
Ask HN: Best non-computer-science books you've read? ANY topics
For those unaware, the author of this article (Salvatore Sanfilippo) is a prolific programmer and leader in open source. He's been very productive in this role, authoring systems that many use today, such as Redis.

Obviously, Salvatore didn't invent a new creative workflow that he's branded "log driven programming". His intent with this article more likely was to share with others how he works productively. I can imagine that people asked him how he gets so much work done, considering how complex programming is, especially low level systems programming in C.

While the article was written in 2013, it shares timeless advice.
One question that all the systemic issues boil down to is: Do police departments want people of high moral integrity? Does any organization really want those? Or is it best to have people that only show just enough to not incite too much public scrutiny?

A certain malleability is a basic requirement to work in an organization and whoever runs counter to the culture will not have an easy time and may have a very short career. Putting the immediate company / working group goals before certain small qualms about how things are supposed to run and how they actually run is a common occurence. The formal requirements are met by clever documentation.

It's even hard to have a competent and integer police force in an environment where it's highly unlikely that a person the officers interact with has a gun. Even in that environment lethal or crippling accidents happen, though maybe not as amplified in number by the exterior threat of firearms in the populace. But and an esprit de corps (and a kind of brotherhood between executive and judicial branches) still prevails.

In Germany for example, the young officers are the ones who have to go on riot control duty for weeks, because they're physically up to it - that's something that I'm sure will at least subconsciously color a person's view of the civilian public, if pushed hard enough.
Would it be feasible if they "just" rebuild the Hubble with the original plans? I mean it's 30 years old by now but it's a solid device. That would save on development at least.
Perhaps, there is no more hard evidence left.

Perhaps, any of the companies (involved) admitting it would make bigger news than the Bloomberg article.

There is no way to avoid some degree of reputation loss, but there is no scenario when admitting will cause less reputation loss than not admitting. Very few consumers will looks and think "How noble, how honest". Most will think "Apple got hacked my data is stolen". Competitors will get something concrete to point at. Maybe no one knows what exactly was stolen.

Let's not portray Apple as some saints. They didn't completely admit the iphone 4 antenna problem. Or recent macbook keyboard problem. And bent iphone 6s problem. (And those are all things we have evidence of)
There's much discussion here about Portugal and other countries but what about the US? Could one go closer to a place like Colorado Springs (near Denver) or Cincinnati? There are also places like Albany NY? What are some of the lowest cost but good US areas?
I would have thought it would actually easier to subvert the supply chain than physically mount a new device on a board.

Simply supply 'alternate' devices for normal manufacture.

Dell xps-15 running Windows. I chose it to replace my MacBook pro because it had an Nvidia GPU, a good selection of ports and a great screen. I also use a Lenovo X1 carbon for the small amount of Linux work I do because it works well with Linux without any fuss.

But how long will perpetual Office licenses be sold by Microsoft?

Problem is... 75% of Microsoft’s customers will be satisfied with Office 365 - the other 25% are utterly allergic to the notion of losing sovereignty over their data, but knowing Microsoft they’ll optimise for that 75% and eventually stop servicing the remaining 25% who desire perpetual licenses and on-prem storage, presumably they’ll be happy with OpenOffice thus giving MS’ Office org an excuse to ditch that market segment entirely.

...and that would trigger Microsoft’s aping of Apple’s similar departure from their customer base, which means they lose their halo effect.
> private medical cover including dental, for family of 4 unbelievably cheap, less than 200 Euro pm, i paid nearly that much for just dental in UK

Almsot 200 EUR a month on dental seems outrageously expensive.

Getting a simple figure on the prices is difficult but it seems like the going-rate is appox £16-21 pm (lets say 20-30 EUR): https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/insurance/dental-insurance...

The amount I have to decalre to the tax man for the "benefit in kind" value my health insurance through work (which is private health & dental for me, my spouse, and all dependants - includes private GP appointments, physio etc etc) is about £1600 for the entire year, or £~135/month or ~155EUR/month.

Some of the Best Speeches of All Time
Chennai, Southern (most) India.

Good intellectual crowd. Home to quite a few top engineering institutions. Inflated with software developing people and companies, with strong focus on making world-class products. I work for one such company, Zoho. Cheap living costs, compared to other software hubs (say, Bangalore) of India and definitely most of abroad. Decent English speaking crowd.

Almost checks out all the items in your list.

Cons: Living standards is a bit behind the curve, if you are from say London, Bay Area, Berlin, Singapore or such. Road traffic and such very-indian-problems will either excite you or bite you, subject to the person.

Even if you don't plan on living here, do visit Chennai sometime. You might even decide to stay back ;)

We will see the same arguments against progress coming through again and again over the next 100 years, I hope we continue to prevail in our growth and find a solution for those displaced when technology overtakes their job.
