What does this contribute exactly to conversation about this topic? Most people when evaluating success of a country take into account a slurry of values such as GDP, Life Expectancy, GDP Per Capita (more important than GDP IMO), Unemployment, Fertility, Education, Income Inequality. Take a look at the OECD data sheet for the United States: https://data.oecd.org/united-states.htm.

Comments like this just scream America hating and serve to inflame, they don't contribute to a substantive conversation.
In most states it's not considered admissable. That is why they use New York.
I didn't think we were contemplating selling the source back, rather selling details of how a malicious person could easily acquire the source - as one may have done as a slightly-off-white hat hacker.

It's not theft either; and we could have immediately destroyed all our data except some excerpt as proof the hack is available so we would not be handling any infringing data (despite the initial act potentially being infringing, depending on jurisdiction).

This is akin to "I went past your property and saw the door open, stepped inside and took a picture as proof; do you want to see the picture?".

Its immunity before you're exposed that at issue. How did you grow up? What routine exposures did you experience?

I grew up muddy and dirty, eating anything I found in nature that was mostly edible (apples, ground cherries, berries, chewing bark and grass), as well as organic beef and pork (before we knew what that meant) and garden vegetables. That was closer to historical experience.
People have gone to a lot of effort to convince their fellow Americans that those that die from opioids deserve it. I'm sure some will turn up in this thread.

They publicly hosted their .git folder on their web server (which it says in the blog post). They had those things committed to version control (stupid) and publicly served it (stupid). Nothing was stolen.
> Drug overdose and abuse seem to me to be a symptom of something way more troubling.

A general feeling of disconnectedness? Perhaps some existential dread in there. The United States (by and large) used to be lashed to religious moorings, which provided some sense of purpose and moral grounding, as well as fending off pesky questions like "what happens to me when I die?"

The statistics that claim the US is still largely religious are hallow. People wear labels of their religion as a means to exclude or silently signal 'better-than-you', when the purpose and message of those religions has nothing to do with that.

I don't mean to say lack of religion is the primary cause of our opioid epidemic, rather a significant contributing factor.

I would venture a guess that things like easy access and over-prescription also play a role.
We definitely need a way to "think different" in this area, no?

Nice to see a fellow Odiya trending on HN. :)
Post WWII (and even before the end) the US quickly pivoted towards the "cold war" with the Soviet Union. From the interview you linked:

"...Dulles was one of the intelligence titans of the 1950s, one of the original cold warriors. And he was someone who believed that there were, quote-unquote, “moderate Nazis,” his words, who the U.S. could use to its advantage in the Cold War. And he actively recruited them himself and, in a number of cases, intervened on their behalf when they were facing accusations about their past, about their involvement in Nazi war crimes. And he and J. Edgar Hoover were really the two linchpins in this, in developing this strategy of recruiting ex-Nazis as cold warriors, as anti-Soviet assets who, they believe, could gather intelligence for the U.S."

Dulles was not a perfect man, and holds much of the blame when it comes to US/corporate colonialism but to suggest the CIA was "built with" Nazis is taking it too far. To suggest that the Nazi legacy of the CIA somehow is connected to current day abuses of power is an even further leap of logic. Dulles saw former Nazis as valuable tools in his war/wars - there's not much else to it.

We had a perl "guru" who wrote a number of management scripts for servers. They were located in inconsistent locations and were completely inscrutable because obfuscated in a manner that I think he thought was clever. Seriously, I don't think his code was obfuscated because he was malicious, incompetent, or "making himself too indispensable to fire." I think he thought writing tight compact perl code that was unreadable by anyone else was an imperative to being a good perl coder. I think it was like his philosophy of coding or something. I mean his documentation that he wrote for how to do stuff around the network was fantastic insightful and robust. But his fucking code was just awful. I basically had to run every perl script we could find though the debugger to understand what it was doing and rewrite it from scratch so it could be maintained in the future. These days I'm an actual software developer and when I write code I think of this dudes perl code whenever I write code and I think it has made me a better developer because I strive for maintainability and readability over almost everything else. Mainly because I feel like reading his code and rewriting it was akin to psychological torture and I nearly quit my job several times in the process.

I ALWAYS run 3rd party JavaScript on my payments page. That's what Stripe is, after all.

In this blog post the author identifies probably 1 questionable third party resource. As scary as it sounds it's not exactly easy to just compromise major JS providers and start stealing cc data. It's possible but instances of it happening are extremely rare.

Knowing what you're loading is more important than not loading anything. It's not realistic to expect no third party js in today's world, and even versioning+SRI has issues because it solves one problem by creating a new one.
They have it in COBOL,which uses binary coded decimals to represent the number (1 decimal per nibble) so numbers like 0.3 can be represented without loss of accuracy. It was abandoned in favour of IEEE754.
Something else to keep in mind is that Nim also has it's own version of gofmt in development, it's called nimpretty.

If everyone is using this tool anyway then style insensitivity will not be a problem, and for those cases where some library uses snake_case instead the code formatter will still be able to format your code completely consistently even if you're using that library. There is no way that gofmt or any other language's code formatter can do that.

AAPL is a steal right now. (Current mkt cap: 853.41B.)

The company has $285.1 billion in cash and is trading at a cap of 3 times that amount (nearly exactly, 3.00something from the figure I found) and bringing magic to market that if anyone here proposed in a comment they would be laughed out of the room. For example waterproof watch that is full mobile phone, you don't need the phone with you. Face ID based on thousands of kinect-like infrared dots. Airpods.

Are you kidding me. This stuff is magic.

"Hey I'm the only company on the planet bringing whatever magic I want to 300 million people in 2018 out of a target audience of 3 billion people."

It should be trading at a P/E of 200. It is trading at a P/E of 15.

If you want to double any amount of your wealth in the next 7 years at a minimum but wish you could get even better then the surest, most guaranteed and lowest-risk way you can do so is to invest in AAPL today and hold until 2025. Have a wealth of $600 million and wish you could turn it into $1.2 billion (at least) by 2025? The surest and lowest-risk way of doing so is by parking it in AAPL and holding. It is not going anywhere.

It is like a government-backed bond paying 10.4% per year or something.

Literally unbelievably low market cap at the moment. It's a steal!

And this doesn't even price in anything it hasn't announced. (You know what I'm talking about. Come on you know.) Absolute ridiculous steal. When I checked the market cap for this article I was expecting to see 1.2t (it hit 1t recently) and instead saw 0.8t, down 20% from recently.)

For this level of volume and low-risk, you might never see such a low-risk investment in your lifetime. Ridiculously cheap.

I swear I was expecting to see 1.2t just now
Apple exerts pressures and demands on it's ODMs similar to what Walmart did on vendors in the 90s. Google all of the troubles Foxconn has been having with it's workforce, this is primarily due to it's relationship with Apple.
Buy a website that makes 1K EUR a month. Before, do some thinking and reading about a niche that you might know something about or care about. Use a serious broker to minimize the chances of getting scammed. Try to grow the website by using some your time and skills or use the money left to hire people that cost less per hour than what you make.

If things go well, you can keep the website or sell it for more than you bought it. If the revenue doesn't improve or becomes smaller you can sell the website and get some of the money back. Either way, you'll learn some new things.

Without versioned assets, both the 3rd and 1st parties would need to make the update at the exact same time or else the enforced SRI would cause failures. This kind of tight coordination is impractical or even impossible. Versioned assets allow you to deploy updates when using SRI without breaking anything.

The need to avoid automation stems from the fact that an automated process which simply detects that a change has been made and blindly updates the SRI attribute with a new hash would let a malicious code update through, which normally SRI would have blocked. This situation is no different than not using SRI at all.
That's bad naming, if those had the same type, that would lead to subtle hard to track bug because a dev used one pid instead of pId.
I know, right? I was always wondering how it could be that a company which has virtually every single large corporation licencing its OS and Office products on a recurring basis, not to mention an increasing number of cloud services/storage, web servers, programming tools, and database tools could have eclipsed a company which has one main product that requires constant innovation to keep people buying.

There are a lot of old laws still on the books.
These analogies never work (and I just used one elsewhere on this story too) - one could equally equate it to arriving at a business, opening the door without seeing the "closed" sign, going in and taking a photo, realising no-one is there, and leaving. Then you call the owner and say "I noticed you have a security problem". The problem is their employee forgot to lock the door, they'd indicated you shouldn't go in (posted the closed sign) and so strictly speaking you were trespassing [unlawfully entering, whatever].

Punishing the person for telling you you have a problem seems a bit silly, even if the photo they took included copyrighted material (maybe an architecture model on the counter).
Them being that close probably means insider trading risks

Thanks, I took a quick look. However, it appears to be XML-based markup not too different from HTML or DocBook. So I don't see this having the benefits which lightweight markup provides. It has all of the same disadvantages of HTML and DocBook in terms of the markup verbosity from what I can tell.

Which isn't to say it's not very good at what it does, just that I can't see a compelling difference over DocBook or HTML.

You can make the case that a lot of graphic narratives fall into the hyperliterature category.

While I can't find any specific sources in the field of education, I was taught in engineering school that engineers reviewing the work of another engineer, unless their job specifically required them to review work, was against the code of ethics in Ontario. It looks like this is true as well in the USA which has this tidbit in their code of ethics.[1]

"a. An Engineer in private practice will not review the work of another engineer for the same client, except with the knowledge of such engineer, or unless the connection of such engineer with the work has been terminated."

I'm honestly shocked how American doctors seem to give out opioid prescriptions for any illness or pain. I've not once heard from somebody here (Germany) that was prescribed opioids by their dentist after a surgery. They usually tell you to take some tylenol and rest at home, I've never heard of somebody getting opioid for that. But I've heard it mentioned multiple times regarding american dentists.

There surely are more examples where the docs seem to be a lot less careful about giving out these drugs. Also I think, and that's not only regarding the US, but all of the world, people should be getting way more education about what these drugs are, what they cause, how they should be taken and how you should stop taking them / what risks it bears if you don't.
It's definitely a catch-22.

In the vein of 'do no harm', I'd tend towards delaying it, even though it might be harder later, rather than proactively pushing a treatment that will later be revealed to be a mistake. It's too hard to present the options to a child without putting bias and pressure on them.
Microsoft has maintained a decades long monopolistic position in OS and Office Suite software. It also has a significant presence in corporate software development ( NT server, Visual Studio, SQL Server, etc). It has been one of the most valuable and profitable tech companies in the world for a very long time.

Hello there
"Deserve" is going overboard, but there's certainly a moral difference between something that happens due to one's own choices, vs. something that happens because it was compelled.

It's reasonable have more sympathy for a conscripted soldier killed in a foreign war he had no desire to fight in than an opioid addict that died from a result of choosing to do drugs.

Even in that situation though, the only way for an external script to get compromised is for the website serving it to get compromised. With HTTP, it's not just the site that's vulnerable. Maybe you're connecting to an open access point, and someone sitting next to you in the coffee shop is reading your credentials out of thin air. Maybe the router itself is serving malware. Maybe your ISP is compromised, or a random proxy someplace.

Imagine you had a Google doc or a Github repo where 4 or 5 people had access to it. That's potentially a vulnerability, any of those people could change the doc behind your back. And if you don't trust them to keep their accounts secure, maybe someone uses them to sneak something in. It's a very valid concern.

Now imagine you had a Google doc or Github repo with open editing that anyone could connect to at any time and change, without logging any information about their change, or even running a 3rd-party server. That's the difference between being required to trust 3rd-party scripts and connecting to a site without HTTPS.

In your example about bypassing the cross-origin policy, POST requests in general are allowed to be cross-origin by default, so unless you're explicitly blocking that using something like an iFrame, a 3rd-party script can already just send requests directly.

Again, valid vulnerability that's worth being concerned about. But unencrypted web traffic is on a whole nother level. Without HTTPS there's just no mitigation for that vulnerability. Putting the 3rd-party code in an iFrame? I'll just move it out. Setting more restrictive CORS headers? I'll just change them. The difference is that if you're including 3rd-party scripts from sites that you don't trust, there are things you can do to limit their impact. There's nothing you can do to limit what an attacker can do to an unencrypted connection.
> To me, it seems like life exectancy will improve again as the economy improves and governments find ways to fight fentynal.

I find this exceedingly difficult to believe in the rural areas of the US. The current expansion is almost the longest on record, going on since 2009. The structural forces that have hollowed out the economies of rural areas (widening inequality, e-commerce, globalization, etc.) are only increasing, not decreasing. The drug overdoses may be caused by powerful opiates like fentanyl, but the drug use is mainly a symptom, not cause, of despair.
> Rename variables EXACTLY what they are.

I have this coworker who has this terrible habit of giving the most meaningless names imaginable. Local variables are often just named "tmp". Or maybe tmpNum if it is a number. We are writing a program to implement various tasks as background threads, and the classes have names like "Process01", "Process02", etc. At one place, he declared five or six constants with SQL queries, named sql1, sql2, ...

The worst thing, in a way, is that I managed to convince him to let me rename the SQL constants, but he insists that naming a local variable "tmp" is actually a Good Thing so you can immediately tell it is a local variable. I kid you not. (For Great Cthulhu's sake, I wish I was kidding!)
Someone replied to you with an ignorant comment that was deleted. I'm copy/pasting it here anyway because they are spewing common misconceptions that need to be squashed.

> The US has 330 million people. Do we really care if a bunch self-select out of the gene pool?

While some people do choose to use drugs with their own free will, this epidemic isn't about that. Many people getting addicted have been initially prescribed the pain killers by a doctor for medical reasons and then got addicted. They didn't use recreationally.

It's thanks to these ignorant comments that make them fearful of seeking help with the addiction.

The was on drugs and the stigma it brings continues it's devastation...

> The only way I would care is if I found out that a foreign power was behind this, i.e. getting people addicted to deadly substances in order to undermine our country. If it's just jackass flunkies doing it because they're jackass flunkies, then I'm just glad they aren't on the highways.

It's not a foreign power, it's our own pharmaceutical companies attacking our citizens.

From lobbying against medical marijuana as an alternative pain killer to pushing false information on doctors and patients about the addictive nature of their drugs.

But pharmaceutical companies don't fit your typical stereotype of a villain and they flood our politics with cash, so they are getting away with murder.

Finally, people regurgitating the garbage like "self-select out of the gene pool" are also a major part of the problem. How someone got addicted to drugs shouldn't be important. Whether It was due to recreational use or by a prescription, they need help and should not be ostracized.

Our public funds should go to recovery centers, not law enforcement for victimless drug use.

There are plenty of laws on the books to arrest someone who harms another, whether on drugs or not. We don't need laws specifically for drug use. Those people need medical help, not jail.
