They've already been through rounds of attacks and fixes. They've paid people and publically discussed the vulunerabilities that were discovered. They have separate computing systems for the ui (which must have endless attack surfaces since it's an old webkit browser, please find a lot of problems so they will update it) and the drivetrain. If you don't have a tesla it's very interesting how it works. The ui system can be rebooted while the car is on and driving, it's completely separate.
Pondering what makes this sound "male".
That’s very simple to do. Don’t raise external funding.

If you are raising external funding, you, more often than not, should be okay with becoming an employee. If you are not you should not raise money and work to grow the company like everybody else in the planet does: work hard, put a lot of work everyday and make something that SELLS.

This is what a lot of tech people don’t get it. They are asking for investors to put their money in the founders business and they don’t want to give anything up?

Why the heck would anyone sane do that? I wouldn’t put money anywhere unless there is a way to get it back. The way to do that is either investing on a company that has a proven model and already makes a ton of money, in which case I’m ok with no control because I KNOW I will make my money back or by taking the risk and being rewarded by it with a bigger chunk of the company.

I guess that for the founder it always comes down to a simple question: can I get to where I want to without external money? If the answer is no then you should not whine about how much that money cost because you would not get there anyway without it.
We were discussing whether facebook should fund pro publica like they are supporting struggling local news companies. Since pro publica is supported by billionaire bankers, they aren't struggling for money and if they need it, they can tap the foundation that the billionaire bankers set up for them. Frankly, I don't think facebook should be supporting either, but given the choice between struggling local news and pro publica, I think struggling local news is the proper choice. Also, I'm not accusing you of being a far leftist to be clear, but it's an unpalatable tactic used by the far left to label everything as being far right and it really doesn't add much to the conversation. Also, if a company is financially conservative, they wouldn't be in need of additionally funding. That's the central idea of financial conservatism, the budget drives your needs rather than your needs driving the budget.

Protecting Rhinoceros plugins with software licensing
Not that it applies to you, but the right to subcontract in the UK is one of the primary checks for wether a contract is considered disgused employment.

The checks are Substitution, Direction and Control, and strong clauses in these will protect both the client and the contractor from a nasty tax bill.
Stronger: What's worse about "iteratively refining a complex design as you gain feedback from its implementation", compared to "not iteratively refining a complex design as you gain feedback from its implementation"?

Looks cool, will check it out.
I had ESR and regular Firefox installed so that I could use Google Hangouts last year after they dropped plugin support. After a particular upgrade (don't remember which), all of my data just disappeared because the profile formats were different and Firefox decided that the file was corrupted.

Thankfully I figured out what was going on, and they saved a backup of the "corrupted" file that I could just put back into place.

It seems like absolutely the correct solution to have each release to have its own profile.
Or maybe shutting down oil companies will create the demand for an alternative.
I agree. It is very clear that Tesla puts more effort into the software, electric motors, and battery tech compared to the "rest of the car".

While there are some fine details (like the suspension) that others pointed out, the body panel gaps and the unusual service experience leave a lot to be desired for some people. Now whether these issues go unaddressed due to Tesla not having the proper resources or due to a conflict in priorities, either reason makes you wonder why Tesla is choosing to do it this way...
It can work the other way too. GDPR is not very complicated and a new actor would have a big advantage in designing their system to be compliant from the start.

What is news about then? Is it just what you think is important? And what if I disagree, how will we know who's right?
Is this the worst-written announcement ever, or am I going to lose my settings when FF goes to version 68?
Proper news sources don't sell the news. They sell trust, my trust in them. BBC.co.uk/news isn't my first bookmark on every device because they entertain me. It is there because I trust that anything appearing on that website has been deemed important by a group of professionals. I don't want to read popular news. I certainly do not trust Facebook/Google/Apple to curate anything beyond funny cat vids.

BBC does include the occasional fun story of little real news value (ie the pet raccoon who got into the pot brownies) but this liberty is taken seriously. It never detracts from the real news articles.
Agreed. It's not even the TV that needs access to Internet. What if you have one of the Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, etc devices that stream content from the Internet?

Without those we might as well go back to storing content locally which let's face it - is mostly retrieved quasi-legally through BitTorrent.
I believe FB would give you whatever you are most likely to click (the cheese filled burrito), to think that FB has any integrity beyond that feels naive in the face of their investor's interests.

FaceBook makes money from advertising, whatever it takes to get you to stick around and look at ads is going to be the 'news' they are most motivated to present. Do we have any other reason to believe otherwise?
If you've ever worked in a giant industrial organization, you know it's a swamp of red tape, silos, and inefficiency. Agile is a direct response to all this. Scrum, which influenced Agile, originated from case studies of automotive, photocopier and printer industries.

Agile is not 2 week sprints. Agile is not code reviews. Agile is not pair programming. Agile is abstract; it's a set of values, a philosophy, a methodology. It screams, "Stop just following some stupid formula, because it may not work for you!" The whole point is to shake up the slow, rigid, inefficient way that organizations can easily fall into, and get people to work together better. If you take the guidelines it offers and apply them, any organization can benefit. But you can't just follow a formula and be magically better.

What I've learned is that all of the abstract methodologies (agile, lean, devops, etc) do not prescribe specific actions you must take; they prescribe general ways that you can adapt your work to get better outcomes. I can't give you exact evidence that it works, because there is no one way that it works. But there are tons of organizations that have followed the principles and have measurably improved their businesses. Until someone turns all of business into a science, I don't think you'll find anything better.
That is unfortunate, but considering the opportunity presented by the need for grid-level energy storage for renewables or even by the need for domestic energy storage for solar as well as the apparent availability of materials it could be an attractive area for innovation.
At the very least the client could perform a check that the files it's receiving match the pattern it sent in the request by using a regular expression replacing * with an non-whitespace+forbidden character. It doesn't even check that if you request a single file like readme.txt that it receives a single file!
I'm from the US and have been through a lot of US airports, and I've also been through a bunch in Europe and also Sao Paulo, Brazil. I don't ever recall seeing more than a handgun in the US, but in France and Germany they had automatic weapons and in Brazil I'm pretty sure they were full on machine guns.

Even as an American I find the US propaganda when you enter a little creepy. But I also found it odd that when I got to France I couldn't take a picture to celebrate because I couldn't find a single "Welcome to France" thing anywhere in the airport!
It's very closely tied to my real-world identity so I'm not comfortable linking it here at this time. It's only interesting to the people living in/around my small town, to anyone else it would just look like a generic small town news website full of unimportant small-town topics.
What I really like about this article is the realistic approach to implement artificial intelligence into industrial areas.

By augmenting machine operators with AI and how it works, humans will gain more trust and are able to better understand AI.

This is a much better way than confronting them with black box models and convincing them to do what the bot says.
This is simply not true. Here's a recent set of fixes - now because they don't have over the air updates or free ones, how many people will ever get their cars updated: "Researchers said they were able to combine the 14 flaws to escalate their access to the car's inner CAN bus".

It's already there, but it's really ugly and hard to read, would be my conclusion from this.
Somewhat disappointed with applying there. Spent some time writing a detailed cover letter as my experience lined up very well with the requirements for a role, never got a response months later.
Just a gut feeling. 7 kind of felt too short, and 14-30 a bit too long. We feel that you'll experience the benefit in 10 days. We can always adjust if needs be.
> Using an all-in-one solution like 1Password for both password management and 2FA creates a single point of failure. Take this into account when picking your 2FA client.

I strongly disagree with that statement, though I don't necessarily advocate use of a password manager for 2FA. When 2FA is in use, you have 2 points of failure, since the failure of either will lock you out of your account. Reducing that to 1 point of failure actually increases your overall resilience.

It's like a car: reducing the number of necessary parts decreases your car's overall likelihood of breaking down.
Vocal chord.
> Due to missing character encoding in the progress display, the object name can be used to manipulate the client output, for example to employ ANSI codes to hide additional files being transferred.

It's not guilt that's giving money back as much as the fact that they need content producers at the end of the day. If you guys got smart about it you might be able to do something like collective bargaining against the giant, assuming the services you offer are irreplaceable by non-journalists.

The machine guns

Funny. The first time I saw machine guns in an airport was in Paris in the 80's and 90's. There were no machine guns in U.S. airports until 2001.

tv's with propaganda of 'how great the US is'

You should try Thailand. Or pretty much every other non-EU country. It's everywhere. And to be honest, I've never noticed it in American airports.

Not to mention being yelled at by border security.

I've been yelled at by plenty of border security agents. Austria, U.K., even Canada. Though the Canadian lady was trying to be funny.

Contrary to stereotypes, the nicest border agent interaction I ever had was in Germany.
Can envy be a good thing sometimes? I have felt it a lot recently but it was only a means to motivate me to look for other opportunities outside of the company. It made me realize that I am not looking for a better paying position, but a more interesting one that will better foster my growth.
In 1600s, the population of the world was a little more than half a billion.[1] We predict 10 billion by 2050.

We certainly can work towards reducing our population. Starting with 1/2 surviving child per person. It is important that it can’t be bought or sold in order to maintain diversity of human genetic code.

We could also likely become part AI or part synthetic instead of organic to deal with a different planet. But I am treading sci fi here.

Your comment is very snarky and unsubstantive. Refer to the main article of this thread.
Corporate MITM devices/proxies are surely in a new business boom. Now we went from lack of encryption to encryption with MITM certificates on questionable appliances running questionable code.
I'd argue that the Tesla stuff here isn't really Easter eggs as traditionally understood; which are stuff put in by devs having fun; and then it's either not spotted or ignored by management. Easter eggs are usually somewhat hidden, and require some degree of intelligence to appreciate. The Tesla stuff is lame "fart apps" that were clearly put there under instructions by some PR guys or Musk himself. No developers were kept happy in this process.
>>Millions of species are extinct daily. Why does this one matter?

Its one things for a species to go extinct unable to evolve to the ecosystem. Its a totally different thing for a perfectly evolved species well integrated into an ecosystems life cycle to be eliminated by Human intervention.

We don't completely understand the effects of such mass extinctions going due to human actions. Mostly they are going to be bad.

Thing of this you need a range of insect species for pollination. Not just to product food, but even to maintain the existing population of trees. If you can't product food, or if trees don't grow. Eventually it will be our turn to go extinct, or at least suffer huge losses in population.
You request static assets from a CDN and your request hits a "lambda" function on the edge. It inspects your user agent and decides to send you mobile-optimized assets.

It's largely about latencies. Doing certain request(and response!) processing closer to the client, along with potential data locality benefits, you can get responses back faster and more efficiently.
So do companies scramble to buy out the competition? Are they incentive to take on debt to buy out other companies and expand before other companies do? And when one company does it do others need to follow?

Could anyone add some context?
First, no, I would never advise that anyone use ProtonMail, and if your primary objective is to gain security, I wouldn't recommend FastMail. The comment you're replying to provides the reasoning for that.

For most people, including technically inclined people, running your own mail server will almost certainly lose you significant amounts of security.

If you deal with sensitive documents like legal artifacts in immigration cases, you want to have control over which of your documents wind up in the cloud and which you retain custody over. So while viewing attachments in the cloud is very good practice (viewing them locally is a good way to get owned), running a service that generally slurps your local drive (or big chunks of it) into the cloud is not a good idea.

If you want to run a Chromium build rather than Chrome, that's fine.

I provided the reasoning for preferring iOS devices to general purpose computers already. The additional concern you just added doesn't come close to offsetting.

I'll add, though this isn't in the Tech Solidarity checklist, that if the goal is commercially reasonable security and not security in the public interest, Chromebooks are another good option for end-user computing.
I had to dig for it but this a study that was referenced in articles mentioning the 100 to 1000 times higher statistics. http://science.sciencemag.org/content/344/6187/1246752
I might not put things in quite such confrontational terms, but the general complaint some people are making here is valid. The EU does have a track record of taking on technical issues without adequately understanding them and so legislating with perhaps good intentions but not always good results. This has caused significant damage to many organisations because of (presumably) unintended side effects, and obviously that does then have a chilling effect on things like investment plans and even whether to start new businesses at all.
The calls to MapKit seem to be going through a proxy on DDG's servers, which are currently (1/15/19 18:00 UTC) 403ing.
What's your F# setup on AWS? I've been tinkering with an F# (Giraffe) side-project for a while and am finally trying to find a place to host it. Azure seems simple to use but way too expensive -- app service + DB starting around $100/mo, even with Linux and Postgres. AWS seemed complicated for a solo dev, couldn't figure out what I actually needed or how much of it, or how to plan for scalability later without paying too much today. After too many hours comparing prices and features, I resigned myself to learning Docker so I could deploy to Heroku and plan to move it later.

I'd love to hear your thoughts/dev workflow/deployment pipeline/etc.

(Side note, it turns out Docker is a lot more user-friendly than I'd feared, although my dev machine runs Windows Home, which is less supported (also want to point out that at 1/3 the price of a Mac, Windows is still not worth it and Windows OEMs all have terrible support)).
Kind of weird that upvotes and comments on Product Hunt are the first listed metrics. I guess Twitter/Reddit/Facebook/etc. should be listed too? Or is that to please the crowd for the Product Hunt launch :) ?
In Bitcoin SV, there is a saying "devs gotta dev" to refer to the mass of crypto developers that add unnecessary complexity to their coins to solve minor or even nonexistant problems while not seeing the bigger (usually economic) picture. Everyone wants to make their mark on the space and there aren't enough leaders to direct the energy. C++ looks to be doing the same and not able to see the impact this will have on adoption. Oh well. I personally moved from C++ to Rust last year and haven't looked back.

Everyone who makes this argument seems to be plainly ignoring a good half of the address spec, that Urbit's 32-bit namespace is part of a total 128-bit address space.

If I told you that IPv6 has 32 of its 128 address bits reserved as markers for making top-level subnets out of them (this is not true, but for argument's sake, pretend it was) would you say "Oh no, there's not enough IPv6 for everyone to have their own subnets" ?

Of course you wouldn't, because addresses are 128 bits long and there's enough address space for "EVERY ATOM ON THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH, and still have enough addresses left to do another 100+ earths." per the first StackOverflow post I could find on the subject.

Is there enough address space for every atom on the surface of the earth to be neatly organized into subnets according to ownership rights? Well that's debatable, and if you want to compare apples to apples, you should ask that question.

If Urbit runs out of planets, then it will have roundly surpassed the expectations of anyone who makes this argument. You don't solve these problems on Day 1, it's really enough to have a plan that would allow 20-50% of people on the planet to have a stake in ownership of Urbit at this stage. When it starts getting cramped, how about THEN we spend some time and tackle scaling past a usership base of 50% of the population of humans that are alive?

There was actually a point to the scarcity, it's meant to solve the spam problem. "Planet" identities are meant to be precious. If your identity was worth $10, you probably wouldn't use it to engage in spamming unless you were sure that you could get more than $10 from the campaign before landing your address on a blackhole list. (And if it was possible to reliably achieve a profit like this, it would undoubtedly drive the price of a planet up, as others figured out how to compete with you at doing that.)

And even that is a naive assessment of the scope of the idea and how it prevents spamming. The identities are provisioned in a hierarchical fashion, such that if you landed more than a couple of planets on such a spam list (none exists today, but...), you would probably find out pretty quickly that nobody with inventory is willing to sell you another one. (Lest they wind up getting their whole "star system" banned from polite society for association with spammers.)
I've only seen police openly carrying modern sporting rifles at LaGuardia. There are police and military openly carrying long guns in public in many European countries these days so I'm not sure why anyone would be surprised to see them at an airport.
It's in the dash. You have to remove the glovebox and several pieces of the dash. For some reason I think the taxi driver would notice you disassembling his car.
I'd go one step further and say that to Apple, Microsoft is "the devil you know". Apple uses Azure for some of its services, for example.
IME this is not a good presumption. I'm aware of its use at one local manufacturer of electronic medical devices, another that makes fire protection systems, and another that makes those ankle bracelet tracking things.
That depends on what you think their investors interests are. Facebook is losing a lot of social capital by pursuing the path that it has. I am an investor in Facebook (not one that matters, just have a few shares), and I, out of pure self interest, want them to reform themselves in this regard. Yes, there is a path to short term profits that aggressively exploits clickbait. However, as is becoming apparent, that path is going to lead to heavy handed regulation and/or a mass exodus from their platforms. Either of those things would be disastrous for future profits, so I don't think, even from a purely self-interested perspective, that it's true that they don't want to solve this problem.
oh I getcha, my bad :D
There's a zero percent chance that this car is not pwned. Those that have spoken out about Tesla's technical practices have described a situation so wildly out of control it's amazing their entire fleet hasn't been remote bricked.

Probably because you are used to the paralysed C++ pre C++11. Nothing happens for years and now we have new functionalities every three years supported by all major compilers. But, also, many new functionalities are not for global consumption. The audience of many meta programming functionalities are library developers for example.
