I just want to say that I'm so glad people are developing concurrent languages. The day that concurrency became of paramount importance to computing, all of the old languages became obsolete! That's also why we have Go; goroutines are a major innovation upon threads.
I won't do work for the Federal government, but I've worked with companies of all sizes in healthcare, manufacturing, finance, and utilities, and at none of them was it a norm that internal vulnerabilities be disclosed publicly.

People keep saying that there are certain kinds of companies where you have to disclose, and I have come to the conclusion that they are simply making that up because it sounds good to them.
Well, it depends on your definition of crash. We know that large price fluctuations are not uncommon in cryptotoken land so it's important to be clear about exactly what we mean. Personally, I'd consider a definitive crash to be a sub 1k BTC/USD price. I don't see that happening any time soon because the "speculative value" is very cheap to maintain with lots of enthusiasts broadcasting hype across every popular tech platform and the various exchanges generating superficial traffic and trading activity with very little cost.

What I learned from growing up online
What is the best way to attack this book as a graphics programming beginner (but with plenty of C++ experience)? I saw several people praise it a while back in HN and took a cursory look. It seemed complete and thoroughly explained but missing examples or "checkpoints" along the way where I could turn around and test what I had been building.
Zizek is a purveyor of nonsense. I think it’s obvious to most readers that I have a belief system, and that I am advocating for that belief system, and that belief system is roughly described as centrist. You’ve written rather a lot of words to state the obvious. And to name drop Zizek.

Edit: If you disagree with the Zizek statement and have never listened to him speak, you may wish to look him up.
There is a known relationship between power and sexuality. Many businessmen are in control all day, so in their spare time they like beeing dominated. This is common enough to be a wide spread trope throughout art and literature.

But for some it is the other way round. They have to dominate in order to get sexually excited. Then, if you are in a position of power, and you feel there is a seemingly consequence-free¹ area in which to abuse it, many of these otherwise mostly rational and educated men give in to the temptation.

It is not that we suddenly have a problem with some men sexualy abusing their positions of power. It is just getting a bit more visible than it was before, now that it has become a topic. This certainly feels like illuminating a dark corner with light, to find it filled with bugs fleeing in all directions.

That is why "lets just switch off the light" is not a rational option here.

¹ in legal- and job-related terms that is. These actions still have real consequences for their co-workers and subordinates

I don't know if there's any middle ground where you'd want to use Nginx instead of a CDN. If it's an internal app then it doesn't really matter. But if you have any reason to worry about the performance of serving static assets, then you should always be using a CDN like CloudFront or CloudFlare, etc.

But yeah, Nginx can be a great solution for load balancing and TLS termination.
Those "chip design estimates" are nearly always bs. For example, their "estimate" for what a 7nm chip would cost to develop was the next gen nvidia GPU. Literally one of the most complicated and expensive chips to design and yet for some reason they chose that to be representative of average.
> Promotional coupons are not exactly a new idea.

The new idea was using the Internet to build a gigantic new audience for those coupons. Once you have that audience, you then become more attractive to businesses that want to advertise to it. In other words, Groupon was just a 21st century version of the age old "pennysaver" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennysaver) publications you can pick up in places like coffee shops, or that you get periodically in the mail (ugh).

An electronic pennysaver could possibly have worked, if they'd grown organically and kept the operation lean. But instead they went the other way, figuring if they got big enough fast enough they could then use the size of their audience to muscle the advertisers who wanted to reach that audience into swallowing hugely disadvantageous terms in exchange for access. (See http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/technology/2012/08/...) for details on that.)

It worked for a while, when their rapid growth made them look like an unstoppable juggernaut that any small business was going to have to learn to live with. But then the growth stopped and smart advertisers fled as they realized that the terms made dealing with Groupon more trouble than it was worth, which meant the one choice Groupon had left to justify its valuation was to get into bed with scuzzy advertisers looking to rip off that big audience. But then the audience eventually realized it was getting ripped off, and boom, death spiral.

As much as I'd like the company to succeed, it seems frivolous to dismiss the concerns as short sellers' PR projects and media's desire to drive traffic through clickbait.

Bond markets are largely dominated by institutional players who've seen every PR trick in the book, pay astute attention to fundamentals in hopes of finding a minuscule mispricing opportunity, and even they are not treating TSLA positively

Should I bother to read this article?

I found it to be a quick read, which is good because I also found it to be very shallow.
It seems you are familiar with the topic, could you clarify what does it mean "unwanted sexual contact"? Does it have to include genitalia? Or an inappropriate touch? any unwanted physical contact? explicit words? inappropriate joke? inappropriate stare? something else?

One issue with questioning the social justice movement is a lot of the big supporters are tribalistic and rather than debating an opinion with real stats and logic, many of them fire back with tantrums and irrational dialog.

Look up some of the campus protests, in particular in Canada. These far left social justice warriors are literally trying to break windows to prevent some guy from talking about supporting freedom of speech at campuses. This happened when the university was attempting to get the local politicians to pass a law making it a illegal to call someone the wrong pronoun, punishable by fines and jail time.

These people literally resorted to irrational rage and violence. I believe it was at UTorronto. And there where dozens of them.

It's hard to speak out against a horde that is irrational and irresponsive to debating opinions.

And in many of the clips I've seen, some of these very well known "SJW" with big social media following are actually misusing statistics! Like literally taking stats, and mis-using them on purpose to push their agenda. A popular example is talking about a minority and saying "x whites make 100k but only y non-whites make 100k" - this looks really bad until you realize the percentage of whites in the demographic was purposefully left out. The stats where misrepresented so there was not a fair comparison.
You're absolutely right! That's very much the responsible thing to do for internal purposes.

That said, it might be slightly less than maximally honest for press outlets to claim that the one scenario is factually identical to the other to a public that is ill-equipped to appreciate the point you have so wisely made.

At this juncture, I think it's fair to say that Google's internal worries about public response were well-founded. They're being publicly crucified for going above and beyond the common standards of responsible behavior here.
That's a very simplistic way to look at it. Before the latest huge price increase, bitcoin had very little real competition. Now it has proved that its artificially crippled capacity of 1MB is an enormous problem and that the limited throughput couldn't even come close to handling the last bubble smoothly.

> Prove that it’s legal money.

A clear abuse, it's the government's job to prove illegal deeds. Holding customers funds hostage under the threat of bankruptcy, while the company navigates the complex legal minefield the government itself created is just about the most corrupt system and farther from the rule of law you can get, short of direct confiscation.

They even went as far as claiming MtGox was a money transmitting business because it was a customer of Dwolla, and so customers of Dwolla could send money to themselves by withdrawing and depositing dwolla to MtGox:

I don't have access to your ranking algorithm, so I can't tell you how to fix the issue with this post being ranked lower than the 3 posts directly above this on the front page that are all older, have less votes, and one has more comments. I also don't have access to the data you have on flagging and what type of posts get flagged. I imagine there are ways to identify controversial topics like this that receive a high amount of both votes and flags. Do those posts deserve special protection? Maybe you look at how a user uses their flag permissions. Should a flag from an infrequent flagger have more weight than a frequent flagger? Can you identify a flagger who uses the flag inappropriately? Should there be some type of shadow banning on the flagging functionality? These are all things I would want to explore if you are legitimately looking to allow these type of important conversations the flourish on HN.
I smirk whenever I walk past the poster in the international jetways at SFO regarding it being a no no to leave the country with more than $10K.
I agree that we can define a lower bound of reports for the questions asked, and the terms as defined by the survey.

The lower bounds are: At least 4/384=1% reported unwanted sexual contact, 15/384=3.9% quid pro quo and 19/384=4.9% sexual badgering. The real number would be higher if all female founders responded or were asked.
Rarely is it ever the case that you can conclusively rule out exploitation (ever) of a discovered vulnerability. Most of the time, companies don't even check; they fix the problem and get on with their lives. That Google even bothered to figure out the limits of what they could conclude about the vulnerability is already above the standard response in the industry.
Yeah you can use electrostatic scrubbers and wet scrubbers on stationary plants. Can't do that with a car.

Among other interesting things, this was initially sold as an attack that enabled 'View As' for attackers who shouldn't have had access to it. It's been described like another issue in the same vein as Cambridge Analytica and Google+.

I don't doubt that setting was involved, but it's obvious by now that this wasn't equivalent to the others - there's no "View As" which will show you someone's search and location history. This isn't just a public/private breakdown but an actual breach of Facebook's internal-only data, and unlike the prior stories this ought to seriously challenge people's reliance on features like Facebook-based app sign-ins.
Well, I think the comparison to gold holds to a high degree. Let's take alts out of the equation for now. Bitcoin requires energy to be mined and transferred. Same is true for gold. I'd say Bitcoin's and gold's intrinsic value hence is energy. The parallels only break down at the point where you could get more gold after you've mined all of it on earth (e.g. by mining an asteroid) while for Bitcoin there's a hard limit which cannot be exceeded by design.

Maybe I misunderstand your issue about getting the energy back out. For me it's quite clear that you can get it out, simply by exchanging it for something else that provides you with that energy.

Fiat currencies tend to devalue to a point where there's literally nothing left of the energy that it originally represented. E.g. the USD devalued by more than 96% since 1913. In my point of view, this really is the currency which you can't extract the energy back out of — with a government guarantee.

The situation isn't too complex: Bitfinex is a crypto exchange that had difficulty finding banks that would work with them. Banks are regulated and expose themselves to a great deal of liability if they provide banking for services for illegal endeavors. As you can imagine, some crypto exchanges are deemed too risky.

Tether and Bitfinex are the same thing, though both will vigorously deny that, but it's patently clear that they're intimately related. Tether has variously been able to get banking services, and thus act as a USD deposit to enter crypto exchanges like Bitfinex (USD -> USDT tether -> trade for Bitcoin, etc.). Because it's so clear that Tether is simply used as a way to circumvent AML/KYC, Tether continues to have difficulty securing banking services.

This current uncoupling of USD:USDT(tether) is due to such a banking issue. There are two major risks with Tether:

* Liquidity: without access to banking services, Tether uncouples and there can be a 'bank run' as the majority of funds are unavailable to maintain the stable price.

* Reserves: right now there are no guarantees that each Tether is backed by actual USD. You simply have to trust Tether on this. Ultimately Tether may be a sort of fractional reserve, and thus enough selling pressure will make Tether worthless.

At it's core, it's just a clumsy obfuscation.
No, they don't: they're all more severe than what happened at G+ with this vulnerability. Vulnerabilities of the kind we're discussing are utterly routine, and would probably merit a sev:low in an external assessment.
I'm not sure why you take such issue with the fact that they added new features "FOR ANIME FANS". Not every foss project is going to focus its resources where you think they should be focused. You might as well say "FOR MOBILE" and print out that entire section because it's equally not focused towards the desktop ui improvements you think are necessary.

I would like to know what percentage of VCs/angels are responsible for the reported incidents. If most founders are pitching to 10 VCs (which does not seem like an unrealistic number), it would be possible for even a single bad actor to be responsible for these statistics.

I doubt it is a single bad actor, but I bet its highly asymmetric, since most offenders are likely serial offenders.

Thanks. Still trying to figure out how the terms were defined in the survey to gain an understanding of what the experiences were. Do you know how the survey defined sexual overtures, sexual badgering, sexual coercion, quid-pro-quo and unwanted sexual contact? Does these terms mean different things in the survey? E.g is quid-pro-quo also sexual badgering? is unwanted sexual contact also sexual coercion?

Also, do you know if these experiences were when they were part of YC or anytime?

At any rate, you are looking at policy changes, not dialogue changes, that tells you about something moving, but not the Overton Window, which need not move in the same direction as policy (though one would expect a sudden backlash if they moved in different directions long enough, but then that's not inconsistent with observations, either.)
