Installing a root certificate is a major breach of privacy. This is what Fiddler does on windows when you need development access to a machine and want to view data being transferred between all websites including https.

By using a VPN they forced all traffic to go through their servers, and with the root certificate, they are able to monitor and gather data from every single app and website users visit/use. Which would include medical apps, chat apps, Maps/gps apps and even core operating system apps. So for users using Facebook's VPN they are effectively able to mine data which actually belongs to other apps/websites.
That sounds cool. I wouldn't even know where to begin unless there were posts detailing every necessary step.

I took that case study in business school at Cornell. I was one of the 4 people in the class that day (there must have been 30-40 folks in the room) whose recommendation was to NOT launch. I felt so pleased when the prof revealed that the case was a disguised version of the Challenger incident.

EDIT: In response to the suggestion, below I've removed the reference to actual case study, to allow future students to enjoy it as much as I did.

From what I know, the higher end phones don't suffer from burn-in. Your phone is quite cheap and they do have to skimp on something. It's generally a good idea to get a midranger with an LCD instead of OLED, for that reason. You lose some image quality but you avoid these issues.
What a bullsh*t. People got some money for giving up some privacy. Nobody was forced to do this. And now everybody is freaking about a fairly reasonable trade.

What's next? People will start harassing students/researchers that do paid studies?
Why Progressive Web App Will Be Next Game Changer
not horse racing, but there's also a book by Steven Skiena titled "Calculated Bets: Computers, Gambling, and Mathematical Modeling to Win" -- it's about the author's interest in betting on jai-alai matches. there's a bit of stuff about parimutuel betting & understanding how the structure of jai-alai round robin tournaments can produce pretty unusual odds in some scenarios, which can be exploited.

technologically the book is a couple of decades out of date, but it's probably worth a read.
I will uplaod the music to youtube later but I will not add them to "youtube network id's" as this would prevent also you / the user from using the music in your videos.

So I think we will concentrate on unique soundtrack music which is not suitable for putting vocals on top but everyone can use them in videos, apps & co. of course remix and them etc.

Huh? Linux on arm, i686, mips, ppc all have rustup installers. I'm not sure if that formally makes them "Tier 1" platforms but it does mean that they're pretty darn well supported by rust. Are the Alpine folks having problems because they're not using GNU libc?

Ask HN: What is the hardest part about software engineering?
During my time as an engineering student doing certain projects we had a tile on the wall which read (translated) "Because it was like that last year ..." to remind us to always check everything and not assume they did it correctly previously or it was a good idea. Maybe in their understanding it was correct, but you should never assume it is good for you unless you have checked it and you can explain why it is a good idea.

This was not related to the challenger disaster in any way, just to show the ideas of the report are more broadly applied.

> The Challenger disaster is a commonly used case study in engineering classes, especially when discussing engineering ethics or communication with clients/managers.

Yes, and so is the Mars Climate Orbiter to some extend, though no ethical questions there.

That's the point. Sharing is caring. Also this is what culture is about... not about the pop shit we get shoved in our face all the time. If anything, mp3 sharing made me buy more records (12" vinyl), not less.

GOTO 2018: Serverless Beyond the Hype, Alex Ellis
Why won’t the New Yorker keep you logged in? Mystery: Solved (kind of)
In the case of Spark and Flink, I wouldn't say that batch processing versus realtime stream processing are "subtle differences". That's akin to arguing that relational databases vs. document stores vs. timeseries databases just "muddy the waters".

Hacker News and Reddit have a lot of interesting discussion. But the audience skews toward client-side webdev, and students or younger developers. An audience accustomed to libraries and frameworks that you can reason about with fairly low learning curve, and spin up in a Codepen to see visually right away.

Heavy-lifting server side tools, especially those who only earn their keep at scale, are a different beast. And that's OKAY. Quite frankly, if you're "not sure" whether you need a stream processing platform in your architecture, then YOU DON'T. Aside from some consultants and salespeople, no one's really going to push you toward adoption of this stuff.

In the overwhelming majority of use cases, what you need is a tiny microservice (in your language of choice). Which reads from a Kafka or Rabbit topic, and stores state in your cache system of choice. By the time you reach the scale where that's not suitable, your organization probably won't need a web forum thread to educate you on what the vendor landscape looks like.

What Facebook, politicians, and many others fail to understand is that there's a difference between legal and morally right.

Facebook makes it exceedingly easy for people to hate them, while technically doing nothing wrong. Well sometimes they break the law, but then Zuckerberg just says he's sorry and we all move on.

It's getting tiresome to watch our industry behave recklessly in the pursuit of ad revenue and the push to collect more and more data about the unsuspecting public.

I enjoy my work in IT, but companies like Facebook, and increasingly Google and Apple, then entire IoT business and a ton of startups are increasingly pushing me towards being less connected, less interested in new technology. It seems like a huge chunk of industry is misguided. I'm sick and tired of it.

Where do you think those dollars are kept exactly? In safe boxes somewhere outside the US?
First time I heard about a voice captcha.
I think it's easier to keep the tipping culture because everyone in the USA is already used to having extra random fees added to the sticker price of things.

In places where the tax and all other costs are already factored into the price, tipping is reserved for truly exceptional service.
Probably all the European colonial powers, Russia, China, and the US.

I guess I don't understand what is so deceptive about this? At least not anymore than what Google does for example?

Do we really think computer illiterate people know that Google can infer a huge about of sensitive information about their end-users without them ever ticking "i accept" or signing up for an account?

At least with this they have to take explicit actions like accepting the terms and installing the tracker before they're tracked. They even get compensated for it.

In Google's case you don't get anything.
What you fail to understand is that the average layman doesn't care about data collection and ad tech. If it pisses you off that people don't care about the same things you do, welcome to politics.

That's interesting, in statistics they show the challenger case as an example of poor statistical judgment if you omit data points.

In particular they showed the data points of failed launches, you could hardly derive a correlation between temperature and failed launch from those. If you add the data points of all the successful launches you can clearly see that successful launches happened at higher temperatures. Not a single students who has had yet to take that class would've allowed that launch to go.
Or i could just dump a Raspberry Pi Zero W attached to a 10000 mAh power bank in your garden, and wait for it to capture a 4 way handshake. Retrieve the data from the Pi, and throw some serious cloud computing power at it while bruteforcing the password.

Granted, it's going to take longer (perhaps), but chances are you'll never notice until it is too late. Of course, most users won't notice new devices on their Wifi anyway.

People keep forgetting that Wifi is per definition insecure. It's not a point to point technology, and every single packet you send is broadcast in a wide area around you.
Furthermore, all current authentication methods, WEP/WPA/WPA2 (excluding WPA3 for now, as it has yet to see wide adoption), have all been cracked in one way or another.
Did I read ~1000 packages? That's great for a small community and bigger than last time I checked a few years ago. It has a long way to go to get to CPAN or Nuget size though (captain obvious to the rescue :)). I think it demonstrates that the community is healthy though and I like the packages I saw by some brief browsing.
Accessibility for the disabled is important. But since the theme here is to encourage design that doesn't presume the audience to be like the designer (probably educated urban middle class and up young adults), I'd like to add "different culture, education level, socioeconomic status, and age" to the list of things that designers should be aware of. As someone who deals with such people quite often, I can say from experience that the disabled are far from the only group that modern digital design excludes.
I actually find this quite hard to read, partly the alignment so far to the right (not sure why that bothers me), but also the fonts - particularly the italic, to a lesser extent the regular. I found myself not very able to focus on the text at all.

I suppose as with most things your mileage may vary.
The problem is that labor productivity has grown tremendously while real wage has barely grown. So putting the money into “more economically productive investments” did not result in workers getting anything close to a fair share of the returns (for which their labor productivity is the primary creator, and the percentage of which they are responsible for is growing rapidly).
One of them got quite excited when I told her that I’d just wrecked my Lambo. Sadly I didn’t have a Lambo to wreck. They keep calling me, though.

The callers, by their accent, seem to have moved to the vicinity of the Indian subcontinent since [1]. Bless their hearts, they still do check in on my once in a while. It just doesn’t make sense that they don’t organise and make a database of nuisance callees or callees with no vehicle.

Redis Tutorial – Part III
Yes, that most likely plays a role. I wasn't too sure, so I left it out of my answer.
This one is pretty close to what my advice would be. I started out making games at 9 yo, using clickteams klik&play, tgf, and later mmf and mmf2. (They were the creators of amos & stos although that was before my time)

For those unfamiliar with the development experience, its very similar to scratch but with a spreadsheet-like layout.

When I seriously started learning the workings of more complex logic in these tools is when I started reading the "source code" of the 2d platformer Zeb, programmed by Lee Bamber (who would later go out to make Dark Basic), drawn by Nolan Worthington.

This taught me in a very condensed manner lots of advanced programming techniques. Like a teacher of mine used to say, this will feel like drinking Fun Light (concentrated drink supposed to be cut like 1/12) directly out of the bottle.

And that tradition has stuck with me, decompiling dlls and inspecting websites etc.
This one seemed to focus on dialect over accent. It was more interesting nonetheless... and more accurate for me.
The challenge might be bootstrapping. rustc makes a habit of capitalizing on just-introduced features, and they only require that you have the prior release. So to build rustc 1.x, you have to build 1.(x-1) first.

Also -- packaging. rustup might be available but the distros generally prefer their own native packaging system.
There is a difference between not informed, and doesn't care.

How many people would be comfortable if you laid out the full spectrum of what is possible with the data that is collected, and how said data is distributed and sold?

Its frankly a massively dishonest claim that people "don't care so its all fine".
This is interesting. I wonder if there is anyone having experience hearing with telecoil. As a hearing aid user myself, I would say many telecoil installations at public spaces are actually not working at all. It makes the signs just like a useless decoration. That's a point that makes the post a surprise to me cuz most of the installation at the metro stations do work.

Everybody else has done a great job at explaining why this plan had a very low chance of working, but there's one big reason why it would be a bad idea even if it had a half decent chance of working: it's completely binary — It either works, and you rescue everybody, or doesn't, and everybody dies. There's precious little room in between.

The plan they enacted, even if it might have had a lower chance of success (and I don't know that it did), was much more resilient.

One of the really important things the article explores in detail (but never calls out explicitly) is how many backups and fallbacks there were. Air tanks spread across the whole cave, multiple support stations with extra people. There were many opportunities to adjust to changing conditions. Even if getting one kid out went wrong, attempts at rescuing the others were mostly independent. All of this adds up to a pretty damn good chance of at least partial success.
> the average layman doesn't care about data collection and ad tech

True. But Facebook has managed—by demonstrating a repeated recklessness, unwillingness to reform and immortality that seems fundamental to its culture—to energise a vocal minority in a way no other tech company has. This vocal minority, moreover, is wealthy, politically connected and bipartisan.

This is already resulting in costs and reduced strategic flexibility for Facebook’s senior leadership. I expect it to turn into an existential threat for the company, as it’s currently organised, in the coming years.
IIRC, at some point rustc was not able to self-host on 32 bit platforms due to the amount of virtual memory it used. I don't know if it has been fixed yet, but I can imagine that this would be an issue if you want your entire package repository to be self-hosting.
Some of the choices seem poorly selected. For example, on the question about what term I would use for roads meeting in a circle, both "roundabout" and "rotary" were choices, but I was only allowed to select just one. I use both terms, but it depends on the exact road configuration, and to some degree, the context of who I am speaking to. Other questions had similar issues.

I tend to code-switch when speaking if I can. If I'm talking to a New Yorker I'll say "truck" and "apartment", but to a Londoner I'd be more likely to say "lorry" and "flat".
Why wouldn't you want free access to all media ever produced at no cost except your internet subscription. The streaming video services are really terrible by comparison and the only reason that music piracy no longer exists to a large degree is due to the fact that youtube has a legal form of piracy build in. You can download any song you like and strip the irrelevant video.

Sure, but it is not solved by GUI toolkits like winforms, which is why they are not directly comparable. And A DTP system will not gracefully adapt the layout if you change the page dimensions or scale up the font.

My point is just that CSS is designed like it is because it tries to solve some particular problems. If you expect it to work like a GUI toolkit (or DTP program) you will be confused because they do not try to solve the same problem.
Users realise that the ads they see are targeted to them, and infer that those ads are chosen depending on their activity. Do you think people would stop using Facebook if you told them about this? Or maybe you're wishing for the government to step in?
Openwrt still fits on routers with 4mb of rom space because of this approach. The x86 flavor, for example, doesn't have keyboard and mouse drivers by default.

Hi! I've been in this business for almost two decades and for a short time I also had patience problems.

Then I got kids and I finally got it.

Loosing patience DOES NOT HELP. Ask yourself "What I am trying to achieve here, with this young padawan asking me questions? Are those questions stupid? What is the underlying reason the padawan asks the question? How can I maximize my help, what kind of response to the question supports what I want to achieve the best?"

Anyway, loosing patience only puts off the padawan and while it may help you achieve the immediate goal of not having people ask you questions I think it is just bad long term strategy. Senior people are traditionally meant to help shape younglings. If you make them not ask questions then you are very likely not doing an important part of your job.
Nice write-up of the factors that contributed to the rapid sinking here: http://writing.engr.psu.edu/uer/bassett.html I'll leave it to others to decide whether the design decision to leave the water-tight compartments with non-watertight gaps at the top constitutes 'hubris'.

No that is absurd, this is standard practice for almost all enterprise setups, as a central component in the deep packet inspection solutions used in network security.
