I cringed during the part in Hackers (1995) when a screen saver with extruded "equations" is used to signify that the hacker has reached some sort of neural flow or ambiguous destination. I cringed for Swordfish and Jurassic Park as well.

Jurassic Park's infamous scene was actually UNIX though:

There was a Linux port too - but not used that in something like 10 years so no idea if it still compiles.

Well, in this comment thread we have "it's not nice to see them work [in this case]" and "I'm not sure how I feel about emojis working [in this case]."

So, no, I don't think the issue is that they don't work in this case.

HN definitely does have a knee-jerk hate for them, and if you spend enough time here you'll see that a lot of it really is just "gah, young people." It's the new hate on txt-speak.

This just feels like an internally contradictory hit piece...

It complains Google wasn't good at sales, but then lists "numerous companies" brought on. It complains that the offerings are "learner than AWS" but then admits Google has shown up "extremely competitively". A competitor (of course) claims "Google is just not a factor" but close to the end the choice becomes a "close call".

So which is it? Considering how late Google got into the cloud game, it seems to be doing respectably well, given all of the catch-up it's needed to do first.
In the US Google is often referred to as part of the "big 3", but my understanding is GCP is globally in 4th place behind AWS, Azure and Alibaba cloud.

Alibaba is extremely dominant in South-East Asia and if you're doing any work in Indonesia, and Malaysia in particular which have "data sovereignty" regulations, they are the only game in town. AWS and Azure have some inroads (both have AZs in Japan, Korea, Singapore, HK and mainland China) but GCP is nowhere distinctively interesting (unless you want to do something in Taiwan I guess?).

So at least if you're trying to roll out in Asia there's really little reason to even consider GCP. You'd go Alibaba if you want the dominant regional player and AWS or Azure if that's what you use everywhere else.
The book of Goodfellow et al. is about neural networks. It's not more complete than a book on machine learning.
Note that the actual cost to Knuddels is much higher, because you also have to include the cost of implementing proper security measures. The Data Protection Officer's statement (https://www.baden-wuerttemberg.datenschutz.de/lfdi-baden-wue..., in German) states that the total cost to Knuddels is a six figure sum.

€20k doesn't seem much to me. Cheaper than taking on a security consultant.

Not that you need a security consultant to know passwords shouldn't be stored (at all, nevermind plaintext).

If they're doing that then they're likely being sloppy elsewhere, and by only paying €20k across the last n years they might have saved a €million.

If your company is in the same boat probably worth not bothering to get any security issues addressed. Why address security, just pay the much smaller fine if you ever get caught ...

I couldn't find Knuddels annual profit but they appear to have a dozen staff, which suggests to me the fine is too small.

Has that been canned? The cartoon TV series[1] was amazingly deep considering it was a kids show but that was cancelled after the 1st season because Disney wanted to focus on a 3rd movie. From what I read, those involved with the cartoon weren't happy (and neither was I, for that matter).

They literally should stop pilling up crap like kubernetes and look back at what 9P and Plan9 were and why. Especially that they have almost the whole Plan9 team employed.

But the fine would have been more if they had refused to fix it. So the calculus isn’t straightforward.
Looking at laptops with my dad (he's buying for himself as a retired person), the laptops he liked were either $500-600 with decent specs (i3 with hyperthteading) except low RAM or overkill (i7) for $800+.

I found it difficult to justify the more beefy machine aside from RAM, and paying $200+ for 4gb more RAM is silly, so he'll probably get the cheaper option and upgrade RAM if it becomes a problem.

The sad part is that Windows takes nearly half of that, by he said he only needs word processing, viewing pictures of grandkids, and some light browsing. That same thing was quite reasonable a few years ago on 2gb, but now everything is bloated to the point where 4gb is feeling tight...

As a developer, I consider 16gb to be a minimum for my dev machine, but why do basic computers need 8gb these days? Tablets do about the same workload, but only need 3-4gb max...

I think by definition there will be either one global social network or open standard that allows people to find each other regardless of which social network they're on.

Facebook took it's sweet time to deeply integrate in the web like a cancer spread in the body and this is largely due to the failure of creating/adopting a standardized social networking protocol. Thus, in my opinion FB should have be replaced by an open identity, content protocols otherwise it's here to stay on the web filling this need.

Also FB the company is here to stay since they bought all the major social networks while everyone is watching.

It's true that this sort of direct approach is likely ineffective for many depressed people, but it is also unlikely particularly detrimental.

As someone who has fixated on and attempted suicide in the past, I now feel like that decision would have been a grave mistake. So I am glad things like the Suicide Prevention Hotline exist and are advertised by smug internet assholes because I think they do help some of the people who may be blundering into a bad decision.

There even was an East German gaming machine called Poly Play (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poly_Play). You can actually play on one of these in the Computer Games Museum in Berlin (really worth a visit). But of all East Germans that I asked, nobody had ever heard about this before, so probably was something produced in very low quantities.

> Google Video, for example, seemed to serve the sole purpose of making me think "dammit, why doesn't the 'Video' tab just take me to YouTube?"

Google Video predated the Youtube acquisition. For me it was a marker of how very large companies suck at innovation. Here was Google, having their lunch stolen by a startup, in epic fashion.
Therefore, postal services should offer the possibility of making a "dummy address", so only they know your real address.

What do they do if you just stop showing up for work? Can they do anything besides stop paying you?
Well, the fine is only 20k€ because they were very cooperative, quick to fix the worst issues, and promised to continue improving their security further. According to the Data Protection Officer's statement their total expenses were in the six figures. They also explicitly state that the fine wasn't higher as not to place a disproportionate burden on the company's finances, which probably means that they wouldn't have been able to afford a significantly higher fine. Contrary to the fear-mongering on this site, the purpose of GDPR isn't to fine companies out of existence.

> It's just like designer drugs.

I think an important distinction is that drug prohibition often works in terms of specific chemicals by statute. E.g. drug X is now illegal for use and distribution.

Securities fraud law instead works in concepts and intentions and is fleshed out by case law. E.g. did the seller give the buyer sufficient information for the buyer not to have been defrauded?

A better analogy to securities using chemicals would be poisoning. The law doesn't need to catch up to specific chemicals; if it's evident that you wilfully, or recklessly added a poison to someone's food, it's illegal, and it doesn't matter how you did it. If it turns out that some ingredient is unknowingly toxic and the whole industry was adding it, then it's difficult to argue criminal intent. The SEC is more like the FDA, than it is the DEA.
That's covered by the use of "expected" I think (as expected != is).

That said, trying to read it in English even if they struggle will benefit them more (even as developers, but also professionally) than using some regional translation as a clutch.

I wouldn't recommend the same for literature or news of course, but in programming english is like part of the basic science.
Curious how time has changed people's perceptions, even though the service itself didn't.

Back when I started using Facebook, it was obvious that you're building a profile to be publicly accessible, i.e. viewable by random strangers, and everything you posted publicly you did with the intent of it being a part of that public profile. It was kind of like blog, but with guaranteed active audience.
Yeah. But Gmail isn't a team tool.
No, because to achieve an animal-like, or even insect-like performance is way too complex and neuroscience itself is still poorly understood. How bees know how to dance? There is no supervised learning practices for bees, no schools. How a bird knows how to make a nest? How a newborn goat knows how to walk?
An observation that illustrates my point.
No. I've implemented precisely that and it doesn't prove what you think.

What you do is have one single function create the user, pick a random password, set it in the database (which in my case uses a perfectly sensible hash) and send the user email. The cleartext password in the mail comes from the function's local string variable, not from the database.

Whether doing this is a good idea is another question. IMO it usually isn't. But this kind of mail does not prove cleartext access.
Fun fact: "Raid over Moscow" was banned in West Germany in 1985. The ban was lifted in 2010.
To some degree yes everyones life is ruined. The people with nothing still get some medical care, it's the working poor who make too much to get welfare but too little to cover expenses after insurance who are really screwed.

In the US only the wealthy ( millionaires ) are safe from medical bankruptcy and even they can get taken down by some issues.

Not even for bilingual texts for medicine or not. I guess French or Russian or whatever texts on medicine are fine.

My comment was strictly for developer documentation -- where everything in programming is in english, and even basic syntax and terminology needs tons of english to grok anyway.

So English + development is more like a case of being an Egyptologist and not speaking ancient Egyptian -- they go with the profession.

For sure most of what people think of as security is presentation.

But the context here is hashing all images in order to catch illicit images, particularly child pornography.

Presumably people who distribute such images take a rather more practical approach to security.

So implementing a universal change to the internet needs to work against those using bank-vault level security rather than easily-picked, easily-booted down, easily bypassed "domestic front door" level of security.

If you implement something that will work in 99% of cases in the net then you'll let through billions of images from those who take a combatative approach to law enforcement. The result being no effect against the criminals you want to catch.

(Your local version of GCHQ will be able to reduce their database size though.)
That’s a little harsh. I mean hindsight is always 20-20. Under her leadership Google Cloud did acquire big name customers. Google’s struggle to gain foothold in enterprises and reasons are well discussed on various HN threads over years. It’s a lot to expect from one executive to turn it around in face of fierce competition.
That doesn’t add up to me. In my experience a lot of the recruiting comes from engineering managers, the CTO, CEO etc of the company.

On top of that, this recruiting has been at a fevered pitch for at least 4 or 5 years. If it was as unfruitful as you claim, I’d expect the recruiters to have learned that by now.

This isn't ancient Egypt, or MessoAmerica, or any of the other places on the planet that invented/used symbology/ pictogram/hieroglyphs to communicate.

It makes communication MORE difficult and LESS clear.
Text communication is a direct conversion(translation) of speech. You don't say:

"left arrow-jump-levitate-smiley face"

You do however say:

"I'm jumping for joy"

But consider the other possible meanings:

"Gravity is lower over there. Wee. This is fun"

"Did you see jump back there? WooHoo!"

"In the past I would practice yoga and meditation. I liked it."

...
and i could go on.
Because say it with me:

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Which of those thousand words depends on the individual decoding/defining/interpreting the message.

If you find you are unable to convey a clear, concise, unambiguous message using text; you need to read more and perhaps go back to school.
I completely agree with this.

But, also in think Google does have some advantages. Out of the box, their NLP algorithms seem much better than AWS’s offering. They also offer custom search as an api. I haven’t used it, but bigquery seems very good. I do agree these are probably not enough to have an enterprise shift. Maybe if they specialize on a couple industries that won’t choose amazon (fedex, ups, target, Walmart, streaming/media). It does seem like google has made strong inroads in finance as well.
Well obviously they should have improved their security practices years ago. Nonetheless, they incurred the costs now, as a result of self-reporting a data breach (which is mandatory). That's the number that's relevant as a deterrent for others, so I think it's fine to report it this way.
The passwords to login where actually hashed. But they stored another copy in plaintext on purpose, to censor the users password if they wrote it into chat...
None of these other things are designed to protect against misuse of personal data specifically?
According to the link: https://www.baden-wuerttemberg.datenschutz.de/lfdi-baden-wue...

They were doing this so they could filter out the passwords from chats (i.e. to make it so users can't give out their passwords to other users). Not saying this justifies it, but it's interesting.
