Uniformed speculation, but I imagine the monitoring device sends warnings and such to a central SIEM/log server (like splunk) for analysis and correlation across multiple devices. That channel is likely web server calls or json posts, over https.
WTF. I am a hepatitis B and Hepatitis D chronic active patient.

There is a plethora of medication for hepatitis B treatment and cure. There is a cure for Hepatitis C as well.

But there is no cure for Hepatitis Delta yet. Even Pegylated Interferon works on about 20% of the patients and that's with dual therapy alongside Telbivudine. Of course after treatment you relapse.

It's so unlikely that a programmers "union" would lobby in favor of software patents that you almost might as well worry that they'd lobby for lower wages, or an abolition of remote working. They could do all of those things, but looser IPR rules more favorable to rank-and-file developers seems like such a basic, shared concern that it's likely to be a plank of any organized labor in software development.

Meanwhile, as pointed out by sibling comments: most large tech employers already overtly and vigorously "lobby" in the opposite direction.
That's something you keep seeing as a pattern in many hacks. It is rarely just one mistake, usually a chain of small ones, each of which doesn't look all that bad by itself.
You are incorrect.

And a recent-ish firmware update for them enabled AirPlay2, so I can now stream to all three of my Airport Expresses in sync from my phone or iPad. I was quite pleasantly surprised by Apple still providing useful software updates to hardware they no longer sell (I'm guessing the probably won't push an AirPlay2 update =for my original AppleTV though, since they'd prefer I upgrade it to a newer one which they're still selling...)
California has over a trillion dollars in pension obligations. Politicians make deals with unions that the government cannot afford because unions often become very politically powerful.
> Honestly seems like we may be headed toward unionization

Nope. For the simple reason that unions have borders, tech jobs don't.
Which is why you have to go out of your way to do them in the order specified.

You have to operate within the confines of the laws at each step, but if you don't take care of the employees before the founders and the investors, then they're going to get screwed the most.
Exactly. I think the fair place to start counting with both Bitcoin and digital cameras is first consumer launch.

And with M-Pesa versus Bitcoin, they're both digital cash, so I think it's even easier to see how badly Bitcoin has done.
Do you think this really concerns Joe and Jill staff member at these companies, because I don’t think they cared about Joe and Jill but more about your senior people working on core products and services.
> The legislative solution would be to mandate a national ID with a cryptographic token, and then leave it up to the executive to define the implementation.

That's still too specific. "national ID with a cryptographic token" means that OpenID / Paypal-based single-sign on logins are illegal.

Yeah, writing laws is hard as heck, and Congress is NOT the experts in the field of cryptography / login security. So Congress will get it wrong if they even tried to write the law in that manner. Executive Branch CAN hire experts (ie: 18f, NIST, etc. etc.) to define best practices.

As such, the proper legislative solution would be to mandate "industry best practices of identity protection, as defined by (Insert Agency Here, maybe NIST)".
Where can I learn more about 3)?
I read something in an article recently that feels relevant: "respect your 9-to-5." If I am a developer for 40 hours per week and then add more coding and learning on top of that without a deep drive and clear vision (and healthy structure), I will risk burn-out. I have found it more helpful to consider whether what I need is really more meaningful doings, verses taking time to grow spiritually. Around the world there are classes and meetups on topics like Buddhism, meditation and mindfulness that don't ask any standard supernatural religious beliefs or devotions of you. I got a lot of introductory information from Wherever You Go, There You Are by Jon Kabat-Zinn.

I also think coding for a living matters to you: you are important and coding provides your basic necessities. I know it's tempting for us to seek ways to code for a better world, but there are tons of devs worldwide already working at this. Hopefully some will comment here with good projects they need help with! But locally, offline, there are likely many things we can do with our time and our strength.
Ideally, the systems that prevent "infiltration" are separate from the systems that detect (and even prevent) "exfiltration". Just because you breached the firewall, that doesn't mean you can delete all the logs of network traffic passing through it.

It's of course much more difficult than that in practice, but that's the general idea.
You think an organization composed of rank-and-file software developers would work to oppose open source? That seems extremely unlikely.

When you form an organized labor bloc, it's not like the Teamsters come in and manage your field for you. The people deciding what workplace changes to push for are the developers themselves.

It's straightforward to favor private-sector unions and oppose public-sector unions (and, for that matter, to have problems with particular private-sector unions as well). Public-sector unions have to contend with an incentive problem that other unions don't.
> But if they have enough control to tell some system to dump its contents somewhere

This doesn't have to mean that they have full, unrestricted access. Access to data may mean that they could get raw records via some internal API. That API may still have logging, access control, DoS protection, etc.

Just like you can detect and prevent an external person from scraping your website in most cases, you can detect some internal service requesting way more than an average hourly number of records. Or with a better audit - specific verifiable entity (signed employee requests, external request id markers, etc.) requesting more than they should.

That assumes you have well designed system with multiple tiers and assume no trust. It's not possible if every service connects to the same database with yolo-root-access.
We should really pass a federal law prohibiting arbitration in contracts of adhesion.
This is definitely not true. Some unionized aerospace companies literally draw a line on the floor that engineers can't cross. When an engineer needs to make a change to a spacecraft they need to describe how to perform the change to a technician, wait for the technician to do it, and repeat the process if the technician doesn't do it right. Policies like those would immediately go out the door if union rules didn't mandate that only the unionized technicians can work on spacecraft.
There is an implicit false choice here. I don't have to pick between one lobbying group or another. I can reject both, at least in principle.

Both can be true:

- A union lobbies better for me than my employer.

- No lobbying represents my views better than either employer or union lobbying.
> They supply virtually every aspect of the temporary-cities that are U.S. wartime bases. Without them, we can't have these wars.

I don't believe this at all. We don't need these 'green zones' to run a war, as the US has done many times before. We did need them to run a specific kind of war, which was a blitzkrieg occupation. Not saying it was a bad plan, it certainly achieved some measure of success, but pretending that it's the only way to engage in war is unwise.
Ask HN: How to hire and support interns in a distributed team
I run engineering for a division of a mid stage tech company in the Bay Area. I have built out the team with engineers from all over the world, from Europe to South America, though the majority are in the US. No two engineers are in the same location. We are on video and chat constantly to keep in touch.

Has anyone tried to hire interns or NCGs into this type of team? what would help them be successful? Are there interns and NCGs who would even be interested in fully remote work?

Any ideas or experiences in this area (positive or negative) would be helpful. Thanks!
And getting 20k to walk out on a wildcat would be considered a stunning success by any M&P (managerial and professional) union.
Dunno, 25th anniversary seems like an appropriate time to reminisce. I’ve gone to some of his GDC sessions and he talks other things too. In a way I’d think it’s less about self aggragandizing and more what happens to any artist when one piece overshadows their whole portfolio
Wait what? What does that even mean? An engineer's union wouldn't be dictating programming practices, it would just be an instrument of worker empowerment and protection from employer negligence/greed.

Besides, unions would most certainly be more pro-open source than any corporate entity. Open source gives everyone the opportunity to be heard and have their feelings and thoughts actually affect outcomes; this is more or less the same goal of a workers union.
Why would there be a sudden drop in that graph even if the actual boundary environment had a linear gradient of particle density as you move through it?

I was assuming the "0.5 MeV/nuc ions" just meant they are counting all nucleons they encounter with at least that much (kinetic?) energy. I don't see how your interpretation works with that, but I could very easily be missing something.

My naive interpretation is that the graph does a great job of demonstrating the environmental change.

I was saying some employees might own software patents and be in favor of them. I don't agree, but I also don't expect them to be happy about dues going to fight software patents.

There are 2 axis in the chart area or at the top of the window where you can just drag the fields you're interested in. It automatically makes a chart type that fits and you can change it with a click. Did that not work for your data?

PowerBI has no Mac app and supports less data sources, with all the same frustrations of client/server design.
Huh??? What kind of software engineers do you work with that prefer proprietary software over FLOSS?!?!

I'm quite sure tech unions would end up being heavily pro-open source, with the result of more code being open sourced throughout the industry.

I say this as the TL of a team at Google that fought (and won) to open source our project. It wouldn't have happened were it not for me and a few other engineers pushing for it to happen.
Heuristics like data volume are a good starting point, but also known good traffic flow is important to know. In a "secure" environment you'd route all traffic through a know choke-point that is network controlled. In AWS this would be using the routing layer of the VPC to force traffic to something like a Squid proxy before allowing it out.

On that proxy outbound traffic destination host or IPs would be compared to a list of known destination, and rejected if not match is found.

These methods are not 100%, but they do help add another layer to the security process.
And not all supporters will have walked out so the actual support will be higher.

It's being championed by the Chromium team, and just because Chromium has turned something on doesn't mean it's a standard. It just means that Chromium doesn't know how to properly launch experimental browser settings behind user flags, <rant>because apparently we've all learned literally nothing from the early days of browser-specific CSS tags and the botched release of flexbox</rant>.

Remember HTML imports, Observable, etc... there's still plenty of time to file issues[0] and participate in conversation about the feature[1]. And I encourage you to do so, because speaking as a game developer on the web, this is a bad feature that shouldn't be built.

The big difference for me, is that I can select any combination or all of my AirPlay2 devices from my phone, but I can only select a single airplay (1) device and nothing else at the same time.

If the daughter thinks that a song is suddenly uncool or ruined just because her mum liked it when she was younger and wanted to share that with her, then pardon my French, but the daughter sounds like a bit of a cunt. I’m sure there are a lot of people here who have picked up some top tunes from their parents.

Of course we don’t see the full picture here, but I think it’s great that the mum sat down to play a tune that her daughter likes on the guitar.
Fixing IPR conditions for employees doesn't have to involve abolition of software patents; a much more workable plank for a software union might be an end to restrictive IPR clauses in contracts that require developers to assign and later (even after leaving) defend patents based on their work. You could own and benefit from a software patent and still be very much in favor of having the option to participate in your employers patent plans.
The most alarming part of this is that it appears that the intrusion was only discovered when the new SSL monitoring certificates were being checked to ensure that the appliance was again "on". I wonder how long it'd have taken if someone hadn't spotted something suspicious by accident at that point - I'm sure we've all spotted bugs or flaws by accident when testing a completely different feature.

There are lots of opinions on this, and there are several cities in California who have gone through or started the Chapter 9 process[1]. When I read the material on these I see a fundamental tension between committing to planned future payments vs the ability to scale revenue to make those payments. As a result, any "baked in" payments, whether they are wage increases in union contracts or interest payments on general obligation bonds, can consume more than the available revenue. Bottom line is that things like pension obligations contribute to the problem but it takes a couple of things going south at the same time to drag a city under.

That said, responsible city management which is unable to arbitrarily change the tax rate by law (the fabled CA requirement of 2/3 majority vote) would not enter into contracts that would put the city's solvency at risk, and yet they still do.

[1] The factors contributing to a local government's decision to file for relief under Chapter 9 typically are varied and complex. From the information that has been made available to date, it appears that Stockton and San Bernardino's bankruptcy filings were driven by some similar factors including: long–term imbalances in revenues and spending, reduced tax revenues associated with the downturn in the economy, some constraints to reducing expenditures in the short term, and increasing costs to provide retiree benefits. Additionally, substantial borrowing appears to be a factor in Stockton's filing, and prior budgeting practices, such as borrowing from internal funds, appears to be a contributing factor in San Bernardino's case. By contrast, the bankruptcy filing by Mammoth Lakes appears to be driven by a single significant event—a recent legal judgment that required it to pay an amount more than twice its annual General Fund budget. -- https://lao.ca.gov/reports/2012/localgov/local-government-ba...

Moore’s Law is also dead, so this is not the best timing. Or maybe it is. Ultimately, computing is destined to progress in two opposite directions: cloud and mobile. Cloud providers will become like Utilities and Telecom companies (such as your electrical power and gas utilities, and your ISP/mobile carrier). Their goal is to provide server computing resources as efficiently as possible. It is a world where nobody owns servers or switches except for the cloud and telecom companies. And the cloud companies will build their own, proprietary hardware and virtualization technologies, that will not available for sale. For example Google and Amazon will sell you cloud but won’t sell you their secret cloud hardware or virtualization software (which they already have a lot of), if only due to security reasons. Eventually computing hardware ecosystems and standards may fork into divergent branches (like a Google server with Google CPU and Google interconnects and drivers being totally incompatible with Amazon server/CPU). Due to end of Moore’s Law, hardware will get more and more specialized and varied, which is needed to eek out efficiency and for security reasons.

On the mobile/thin client end, it is basically already embedded computing and specialized hardware. Apple for example already makes their own CPU.

This is bad news for the likes of Intel. They’re in the business of salvaging Moore’s Laws or eventually going the the way of the Polaroid camera.
