Obviously no-one would have publicised this, so if you weren't involved you would have had no idea.
The story does report that Amazon completely dropped Supermicro as a supplier following this alleged hack (that should be verifiable even if the reason given would obviously be different).

You seem to forget how difficult it is to manufacture a single unit of a mother board to achieve the effect you're imagining. Do you really think they have a production line where every week or so they create a different mother board adding this circuit? Why in the world would they create these additional costs, and is it even economically justifiable? This whole story seems each day worse, just like believing in Big Foot.

While I agree overall, soil compaction is something that large farms are starting to watch because it makes a measurable difference.
VR is clearly not ready for general adoption. It's promising, but it's not there yet.

The obvious path for a company with resources would be to focus on catering to enthusiasts while R&D gradually develops better, cheaper headsets.

Businesses in the U.S. that don't want to be regulated often speak of the benefits of capitalism. But actually these businesses are not capitalistic at all. They are only profitable because of socialism: They are keeping the profits, and socializing the losses.
If you're saying using visitor analytics won't boost sales, you're completely wrong. With facial recognition, you'll get the same type of stats as dropping a cookie on someone's browser. You can figure out your CAQ, LTV, frequency of visit, conversion rate and how that plays out with advertising spend and pricing strategy(coupons/discounts/sales). Loyalty cards have proved this but loyalty cards only capture sales and not missed sales.
> Developers need laptops to run their development environment in.

I hear a lot of developers going on and on about laptops these days but I can't figure out why. Is working out of a coffee shop the norm now or something?

Saint Benedict is a saint, last I checked.
I believe the GC integration is far more important for Javascript (or other host language) interoperability than for WASM-targeting languages. Many of them will probably be able to take advantage of it, but anything more special-purpose should still be possible to implement in a custom language runtime.

Before you claim 'dishonesty', you might want to spend 30 seconds on reading about the origins of the term.

NVC was firmly rooted in mediating between rioting students and college administrators. The explicit goal of it was to foster non-violent desegregation. (And if you look at e.g. Kent State, that was a very necessary goal)
I'm moving the weight more toward the center of the plane, but the plane "appears" heavier in the front. This is the opposite effect, no?
Microsoft could lock out 3rd party app stores like Steam, and already has on certain versions of Windows.

Valve is trying to protect themselves from irrelevancy, they have all their eggs in the Windows basket, while consoles and mobile are owned by companies that are massive comparatively.

> experimenting with in-app ads as potential revenue stream.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. It's a conversation that's important to have. It's not unlike the Mozilla/Mr.Robot fiasco[0].

Yesterday (and related), I suddenly had a Mozilla extension automatically install on a Windows laptop I use very sparingly. I didn't take any screenshots but it's detailed on this medium article I just turned up: https://medium.com/@neothefox/firefox-installs-add-ons-into-...

Essentially, after I killed the main extension, another one displayed that wanted to make suggestions for extensions... based on extensions I am already using. It disappeared before I had a chance to finish my research on it. It was odd, in a backhanded sort of way.

I had all telemetry previously turned off (but the extension indicated that the install was based on my telemetry preferences), my workflow was interrupted, research I was forced to conduct about what was happening, etc...

I can see Mozilla treading carefully here by focusing on a product that aligns with a single entry of their mission statement (principle 4: Mozilla Manifesto[1]). But... it's clear that Mozilla is heading in a direction, ever so slowly, that will make their (current) core users question their commitment to one of their ten core principles. tbh, the other nine principles sounds like they're running for office...

The American Dream – And What It Means to a High School Kid Out of Brooklyn
The information which the program presents.
I know this isn't the point of this sub thread, but in UKthe prices are:

The cheapest loaf of bread I can buy is 36pence or $0.47

A 250 g pack of butter is £1.45 or $1.88

A 450 g jar of thin cut orange marmalade is 49p or $0.64

This is from Lidl.
If history has anything to say about this, the line is drawn - if it is drawn - considerably further into nasty business.
Yeah I've got tinted windows and privacy screens on the rear windows. They'd have to either see the box get delivered or go around looking inside the truck with a flash light in the day time to see it. Helps that my parking lot at work is right out front of the building. I wouldn't do it if it was in a sketchy location.

Alcohol consumption can lead to violence. Marijuana does not lead to violence. There is an obvious difference here.
Don't plug in the Ethernet or give it your wifi password and even the smartest TV gets dumb really fast. I'm actually going to be plugging mine in soon (only for a little while) just to see who/where it's sending data.

Same with a car: don't let it connect via wifi. If it has a cell modem, cancel the service plan. In the unlikely event that there's no plan to cancel, 'mod' it with wire cutters and/or a dremel. (of course this assumes that you own the vehicle rather than lease it)

So the story is 2 years old from a reporting standpoint.
To me it’s not a question about whether it’s good or bad that people consume marijuana. It’s about whether taxpayers are currently getting anything near what they pay for from the practice of enforcing prohibition. If 2x the people start using marijuana but we get to cut the DEA’s budget by a factor of 10, then let’s try diverting that money into initiatives that help people out. Throwing people in jail clearly isn’t working.

I think you can find koans for a lot of languages (mostly pre written tests, where you write code to make those tests pass. Some examples:

1. Kotlin Koans (https://play.kotlinlang.org/koans/overview)
2. Ruby koans (http://rubykoans.com/)
There are lots of developers that have a build system with ide etc set up for them and never touch the CLI for years. Think iOS and .net

Belgium here. That story is one more issue that makes me literally think : "America is so broken". And most of the time republicans seem to have a big stake in it.
If not received explicit examples, at the very least they should have been given some potentially affected SKUs to examine off-the-shelf boards.
Bezos doesn't have billions of dollars in his bank, in cash, waiting to be spent. He, simply, owns 15% of a company that he started.

Now, it turns out that this is worth a lot of money. But should it really be... wrong to want to own part of your own company?

The control freaks are taking over the world! Let's collect data just in case it may be useful.
There are programmers who haven’t worked with anything but the HTML+JS+CSS ecosystem, especially on the front-end. Lots of sunk costs there.

Presenting WASM as a threat will lead to it facing stiff resistance from entrenched interests (amazing that people in their 20s and 30s are entrenched interests, but that’s modern front-end development).

A more gradual, evolutionary, low-hype approach seems prudent, as the platform matures and until/if someone makes the “killer app”.
"There should be hundreds of thousands or millions of these hacked motherboards"

No, the boards would be selectively hacked.

And we know it happens because 'we' do it as well.

Surely there is evidence floating around but it's also unlikely that companies would want to admit the breach.

I kind of believe Apple and Amazon though, there's too much risk if they were to be caught lying.

This is a weird one ...
Omg this is true, I thought you were being hyperbolic. This is one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard in journalism, https://www.businessinsider.com/bloomberg-reporters-compensa...

Very cool. I have a bunch of code to parse the info param in various projects. Glad you took the time to publish it as a library.
The Minefield of Talking with Your Children About Sexting
I'm mostly finished with the "Lady Astronaut" duology (The Calculating Stars/The Fated Sky) from Mary Robinette Kowal. Highly recommended. She started with predecessor works to these Shuttle-era dreams (such as Wernher von Braun's original treatise on colonizing Mars, most of which the science still holds up today, and was written prior to NASA's moon work) and posits a timeline to make that happen in the 50s/60s to eventually push humanity to Mars colonies by present day. (Via international cooperation in that case, sparked in large part by a meteorite hit that caused massively sped up global greenhouse effect/climate change on Earth.) The bibliography for the books has some other interesting early space travel reading that's worth revisiting with present day eyes.
Besides all good suggestions that you received here already.

You are also missing some plug-and-play features.

Make it effortless for a client to pick your product.
Also make it easier for him to reason about it. If I'm interested to your product, I should be able to defend against my co-worker who believe we can built it our selves.

Add integration/plugin/component/package built for popular web frameworks and CMSs and put their logos there.

Yes, your JS snippet works everywhere, but you need something more elegant. Your marketer is going to approach a dumb manager that believes his developers are only trained to use Wordpress plugins.

Use something like user-voice to collect user feedbacks. Don't make assumptions.
The lack of confirming evidence is a strong sign the Bloomberg reporters were played. It's interesting to wonder who might have done that though -- US businesses who might gain? Those from within the administration?

Regardless of the truthfulness of the report, the damage is done and the hack story fits in well for the protectionist trajectory the US is taking.
The NSA has never done something on this scale. With sec researchers looking at _everything_ right now it would have been uncovered by now. The major point in this story wasn't a hardware hack, it was a hardware hack on a MASSIVE scale, a scale that would have to be treated as an act of war against the _rest of the world_.

If this article were true it would have been the first public volley in WWIII.
I don't think hardware is to blame. There are no killer apps that make people justify strapping a box to their face.
I've enjoyed learning Rust, but I'm at the stage where I'm hitting constant stumbling blocks because of the slightly niche nature of what I'm doing.

It's the ugly side of Rust; when you're stuck with a series of problems that you can't solve (or take too long to solve), when there aren't enough people in the community to help you, and you end up being unproductive for a while.

Where I've seen small projects to their completion, Rust has been greatly rewarding to me. It's the projects that are bigger and more ambitious where I'm struggling.

> After reading the first 10 chapters of Programming Rust, I was able to push through the rest of the implementation. I still have open questions, and I’m not sure if the structure I used makes the most sense.

There's some chapters of TRPL and other resources that I've re-read a few times by now. Learning the language ends up being quite a lot of an academic exercise, but the benefit's that once a concept clicks, it paves way for many other concepts.

My only advice to less experienced programmers (whom you're not) learning Rust: Stay away from writing or rewriting time-critical applications in Rust if you can't tolerate being stuck on a problem or series thereof for weeks.
I remember hearing the term on Bloomberg when FAANG stocks were experiencing fantastic gains. Especially Netflix.
Vertical farming is not an economical method of producing useful quantities of food. The people pursuing it appear to be motivated by utopian idealism and inaccurate cost estimates.

Any future "farm in a box" is going to require about as much labor as a garden does today. Someone has to clean the filters, wipe off the mold, plug the leaks, replace the corroded parts, etc. Those activities won't be practical to automate in our lifetimes.
Brilliant and so true.

Im to the point with Americans and their voting Republican and pro-business and anti-environment and anti-socialism.... where I think the government should not fix anything and just let it destroy the place where the disaster happened.

After a few places got absolutely destroyed people would start paying attention.

Dumb people are incapable of learning unless they get burned on the stove a few times.

They were talking in the article about the Atlantic being the next target of the oil companies....
Love !== respect.
Your arguments seem misleading - the existence of anatomically modern humans goes back roughly 200,000 years, but human history, i.e. the era with documented evidence starts with widespread writing that comes much, much later; first samples of writing is from ~5000 BC, but they're sparse enough to not be informative about social practices.

The very first documented law codes (2100–2050 BCE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_of_Ur-Nammu ) already mention slavery. We can't know how long slavery existed before that, since those are literally prehistoric times and archeological evidence is not sufficient to determine these relationships, however, as the current evidence shows that slavery existed for as long as we have documented form of anything, there's absolutely no reason to assume that for the 200,000 years slavery didn't exist and good reason to assume that it did exist for at least part (or even all) of that undocumented time, as in the absence of any other evidence it would be prudent to assume that civilization at 10,000 BC had similar practices as it did in 2000 BC instead of being significantly different for no good reason from all other documented human history - we have no historical evidence at all of a time in early human history without slavery.
Anyone familiar with Christian tradition will understand the reference to the Gospel: Jesus says that "love God" and "love your neighbour" (# 2 on the list) are the chief commandments and equally important. That's fine. Even if atheists think nothing of God anyone can think the best of the next man.

But how am I to understand the requirement in the Ada Initiative-derived FreeBSD code of conduct? In all seriousness, it demands that contributors do not selectively quote from private communication to give a false impression! Is there a special spirituality behind it, a context that I'm not aware of, or are they just stating the obvious? And who needs to be told the rudiments of human interaction in this form? Best, let's stay away from this morass. If the FreeBSD crowd needs to be told that to function, that's a bad sign.
Actually, grepping necessary information from the files is more efficient than reading a bloated web page from job site with infinite scrolling where your Ctrl + F is not working.
100% agree with the feedback loop, but do want to add the following.

Money magically “becomes” available when there is a profit to be made. Part of what we need to do as a community is finding ways to “monetize” the activities we want to see. Part of this is having the visionaries, but part of this is about “closing” business cases. Things are better now, but the old joke of “How do you make a million in space? Start with 10 million” still applies.
Two differences — and I’m not saying they’re “good” or “bad” because I refuse to claim I understand economics well enough — is that money flowing to undocumented workers is likely to be untaxed and money flowing to foreign citizens who neither live locally nor spend much locally will have some sort of impact on inflation, as there will be less currency circulating within the nation doing the employing.
I smell this every day in Amsterdam metro when I commute from work (the other way around not so much). I'm currently a non-smoker.

If you 'smell it' you subconsciously feel like you are forced 'smoking it' akin to involuntary second hand tobacco usage. Whether that is true or not I do not know.

As a former tobacco and former casual marihuana smoker I dislike either of these smells. I consciously quit both, both for very good personal reasons.

There are obvious health related risks to abstain smoking tobacco but for me I have autism and marihuana can make me over-sensitised and get me into a psychosis. This occurred numerous times.

Yes, there are benefits to marihuana and specifically CBD. My uncle had terminal cancer and hash oil helped him against this pain (he was AFAIK never pro-drugs or pro-marihuana before he got cancer). And there are disadvantages as well. I'm a proponent of education and regulation, just like with alcohol.
They want to increase the "feature" surface area as that increases sales.

Eventually this will become a big enough problem that cars will come with a security rating just like the safety ratings they come with today. Most people will be happy with their 4/5 security stars, but as everyone in the infosec industry knows you can never be truly secure, only secure enough relative to your threat model.
If a portion of potential alcoholics become cannabis addicts instead, that's another net positive.
Is GC that wide of a problem that tunable parameters could not be provided to support different use cases?
> ...use of real mode (still required for BIOS calls like e820) requires the ability to get back out of real mode, so you need the bootstrapping stuff in a real OS even if it's not in the tutorial.

I'm not particularly well versed in UEFI/BIOS features, but shouldn't BIOS calls like e820 be avoided in favor of equivalent UEFI functions?

> the hardware gets in your way there. Long mode properly requires paging to be enabled, which means that you have the choice between a complicated hardware bootstrapping proceedure to enable it, or a complicated bootloader environment which has already grabbed and used chunks of memory for page tables you need to not step on.

Just figuring out the UEFI's page-table structure seems much less burdensome to me. You'd have to set the tables up yourself regardless. Is the documentation/environment really so poor as to make just doing it yourself easier?

In theory you should just be able to include a header or use a crate (a cousin comment linked one) and not have to write any assembly.
I understand that. I wasn't asking for an explanation of what it was, just asking for data since I found it surprising.
I'm a local "influencer" [1] and am part of a local group of other influencers for the city I live in and marking a promotion as such just goes without saying. The FTC even has rules on influencer promotions [2]. I see a lot of sponsored posts from other bloggers and influencers I'm friends with and they're all marked as "#ad" or "#sponsored" or something along those lines.

No one is saying "I'm running an AdSense campaign but forgot to tell Google that they need to mark it as an advertisement!" It goes without saying. These people are professionals same as anyone else and know the rules of their trade same as anyone else.

[1] "influencer" meaning someone with a significant presence on social media, blogs, podcasts, YouTube, etc.

That's as much inclusiveness as "stop hitting yourself" is your friend's good advice.

If the CoC started with "First of all, purge any God from your heart" you wouldn't have thought twice about condemning it.

But no, the atheists should just suck it up.

Things About Real-World Data Science Not Discussed in MOOCs and Thought Pieces
I think far more pragmatically is the moral of story is 'fancy demos do not a company make'.

Facebook really put a lot behind this - far far more than any little company could have.

Also - Facebook has so much power, that when they say 'we're doing this' - a lot will follow suit. Little companies can't do it.

Given the string of failures, what's more likely is that the cost/benefit/value ratios are simply not there yet for consumers.

Yes, it might have been possible for Ocular to just 'keep on truckin' with smaller amounts of VC ... but I significantly doubt it: the market facts are inexorable ...

Facebook gave it a good shot. It is what it is.
