Cloudflare sat on the information without disclosing for as long as possible, until white hat security forced them to disclose. I remember the drama and the vile response from Cloudflare pointing the finger at others for disclosing "too early." It's likely they would have never made a public disclosure. Given the nature of the data leaked, this alone is fraud and this man should be in a jail cell without bail while a full investigation is completed by affected governments.

I'm sorry but you keep lecturing everyone here how big and sophisticated the ad industry is. Nobody denies it, no doubt there are billions in circulation and no doubt you can build something and sell it upstream to one of the giants (no matter how useful the giant will find it).

However I'm yet to see one good recommendation or ad shown to me. Like I said, very close to 100% of all advertisement shown to me, just as well as "friend" recommendations on social networks etc etc - all those things are so stupid and irrelevant that I refuse to believe there's something going on under the hood other than just plain stupid algorithms that probably work for some categories of consumers but not the others. The most relevant things happen only when I look for specific consumer products on Google and what I get is some ads in French which I don't even speak. Seems to me like tens of billions wasted. But of course capitalism is capitalism, they earn their money and they are free to spend it the way they like it for as long as it doesn't cross certain privacy rules in my country of residence.
> However, if creative industries are your thing, and what you crave, move to LA or NYC

Having done this, I still think it's a little sad if the Bay Area can't figure out how to make room for a creative culture. There's so many reasons it matters:

* a region that economically squeezes would-be bands or artists starting in a garage or warehouse is also going to squeeze capital-poor garage startups, not to mention supporting everyday labor that may not be making tech industry money

* it's likely that the same kind of open/change-minded/creative culture that feeds artistry feeds entrepreneurship (psychedelics aren't the only thing that can open your mind)

* sometimes people like living in places with vibrant cultural capital

* while it may never have had the creative mass that NY or LA has had, I can't believe the Bay and even a wider region out 101 & 80 doesn't have plenty of creative talent looking for a center
After getting my TPlink router bricked and not having soldering skills for Serial UART. I got fed up and built my own router which never gets bricked:

I bought Orange Pi3 (38 USD) from AliExpress.

Orange Pi 3 H6 2GB LPDDR3 8GB EMMC Flash Gigabyte Ethernet Port AP6256 WIFI BT5.0 4*USB3.0 Support Android 7.0, Ubuntu, Debian
https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/bfPcZFXS

It has Gigabyte ethernet Port and USB3 capable of delivering 5gbps. (Superspeed Mode)

And I bought 1300mbps WiFi dongle (15 USD) from AliExpress:

CF-WU782AC USB 3.0 1300Mbps Network Card Wireless WiFi Adapter+Dual Antenna High Speed 5Gbps Net card
https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/cGawgQRQ

I used this to build a router.
Setup Hostapd + dnsmasq

Alternatively run Pihole and your custom iptable rules

I get around 900Mbps (5Ghz AC network) on WiFi to all my rooms.

Build your own router!

Why do you guys still buy overpriced routers? What advantage do you've over my custom built one?
Ask HN: What’s needed to make living by investing
What all needs to be true if I wanted to make a living by investing/trading stock? In other words what are all the things that need to happen for me to quit my job and make money by working for myself from anywhere and generate the same amount of money as my current salary(say $180k gross)

I am trying to understand the needs from different areas/domains perspective. Eg: you next at least X in capital. You next a llc or inc company. You need knowledge of statistics etc.
I don't even know what to make of this comment.

Nobody is forcing you to interact with those "new users", if you don't like them, ignore them.

Frankly, if everyone had your attitude, your Linux community will be dead and gone in a few short years as time progresses, and your old users pass away.

I've been a Linux user for a long time, I and many other long time Linux users do not share this persons opinions. New Linux users, keep coming, the vast majority of us are not elitist.
I'd say that it stretches further than just "having a different opinion" when (i) it's a very relevant factor in the context of what's happening (the appointment), (ii) this "opinion" becomes a replacement for scientific consensus in decision making.

For instance, we wouldn't say that a parent who refuses to vaccinate their child is simply someone with a different opinion. True, they have a different opinion, but that's not what makes the matter dodgy - it's the imposition of that opinion where the stakes are high and we can't afford to have mere opinions.
Well, you can just compensate those benefits in cash - even in US, that's what Netflix does compared to other BigCo's.
Tel Aviv has the same fate, I'm afraid. The problems are very similar. Highly paid tech workers have driven the rent prices in the good parts of town up to insane levels. These days I don't think you'll find anyone living alone or as a couple in the good parts of TLV unless one of them is in tech.

The only thing keeping TLV an awesome city still, is that Israel is such a small country. There really isn't anywhere else to go. As such most single non-religious people will want to live there due to lack of other options, whatever the cost.

> I can’t change the rent.

This ending is poignant and obviously true. However, it's also true that individuals can support the YIMBY movement in whatever manner they are comfortable, which as a unified force is the best means to reducing rents that we have. Campaign to reform zoning to allow denser residential buildings; reform building regulations to encourage development; abolish Proposition 13 to bolster market dynamism; eliminate the mortgage income tax deduction to counter price lift; allow ADUs on single-family housing zones; do whatever you can to encourage increasing housing supply.

As aphextron pointed out elsewhere in this thread, it's all about housing. And the housing problem is solved by supply. Demand is what it is, and as long as there is a cultural and employment nexus, demand isn't going down appreciably any time soon.

For me, the key is knocking off any concerns about gentrification or the loss of a community's "character." These are selfish blankets that are comfort for NIMBYs. Yeah, I might jokingly jab at hipsters and their ways. But I absolutely do not want them regulated out of the area by way of restrictive zoning, building regulations, and other thinly veiled exclusion in the form of constrained property rights.

Yes, that. :-)
Yes this is by far my greatest criticism of how bank APIs work today. I have no idea what third party developers might still have access to one or more accounts that I might’ve set up years ago and forgot about.
I think the issue is mainly that people are multi-dimensional and referring to them as `consumers` boxes them into "thing x that buys our stuff and exists for consumption" instead of framing is as "this is a person that we developed technology because it will improve their lives (and give us money)". Profit is important for a business and helps drive efficiency and measure effectiveness, but I think it is still good use language that doesn't dehumanize the fact that the world is made of people and meeting the needs of people is ultimately the important thing, not simply number in Excel that represent our cashflow.

Even customer is a better word, since it represents a person who comes to you voluntarily for an exchange of value, not just consumption.
The worst part of reading your list is that as I read through it I noted my own encounters with each of them, and then some:

* what do you mean who installs patches? I think our cloud provider does.

* (same, but for "firewall" or "policy")

* "I think they turn them off automatically if they're idle"

and so on. The "devops" hype has put people who think nothing of operations at all in charge of something they don't understand.

Did any treatment result from this discovery?
There is for direct contributions. However the strategy used here is sometimes called the backdoor Roth IRA because there are no income limits to rolling a traditional IRA into a Roth.
> The subjects in the study group were additionally treated using a cycle of 15 visits to a cryogenic chamber carried out daily from Monday to Friday.

In a 3 week study of treatment for conditions where social withdrawal is a critical element, one of the groups had three weeks of additional, mandated social participation.

One of these groups also had a unilateral, massively higher level of education (approx 1/3 of the intervention group was college educated; less than 5 percent of controls were). To the extent that education correlated to SES strongly correlates to positive health outcomes, that’s not a small difference.

This is an interesting pilot, and I’d be in favor of a reasonable follow-up study. But in itself it doesn’t show jack.
This is worth drilling down on. What types of errors should one expect and what are their causes?
Conker's Bad Fur Day developers' commentary
There's no question that the "justice" system is just completely broken. The only reason we even comply with it at all is not a sense that it is creating peace and order in society, but simply that the people who administer it are hellishly violent to people who try not to comply (or, in some cases, even people who are just merely critical, as evinced by, for example, retaliatory actions taking by police departments in response to facebook posts).

Nevertheless, articles like this are good for putting things into focus. The graphic showing the assessment that "Mr. Talaska needed to do the work of five full-time lawyers to serve all of his clients" is convincing and powerful.

But at the end of the day, the question is this: what are we going to do in order to replace this system? Can we effectively build an alternate system (perhaps based on restorative justice) in parallel, and then hope for a clean drop-in replacement? Is there precedent for such a thing in history?

A runaway justice system seems like such a difficult thing to fix, but I think it's becoming clearer and clearer that it's a top priority for the health and direction of the United States, if they are to survive at all.

As a US citizen, it's honestly embarrassing. The high volume also means prosecutors get to use plea deals as extortion, even when they have no chance of actually prosecuting. Then there's also the awful state of our bail/jail/prison system.

It seems like the demographics are changing enough that we could actually start changing our punishment (vs rehabilitation) centric justice system.

We're now close to 1% of the adult population in prison, and 2% on probation. I wonder what the percentage of "was ever in prison, or had an immediate family member in prison" is.
Article does not seem very well written. It presents margin trading as some sort of special privilege. It also makes some very vague suggestions about "large partnerships". And then it name drops RenTech, even though they really aren't that special in this connection.

> the suggestion that unlike the other outperforming hedge funds that turned out to just be insider trading, this one is real and they are just that smart.

They probably aren't just smart, they also have some process that isn't just about being clever. They optimize their execution, they make sure their research platform is top quality, they make sure they have the cheapest funding, they make sure people want to stay and work there, they keep an eye on what other firms are doing, and so on.

The thing about the investment business is there's a lot of focus on being smart, to the detriment of everything else that you need.
Ask HN: Cash or equity?
I've got a major career decision to make and I'm really sweating over it.

I can choose between enough salary to cover my expenses and 50K stock options in a SF startup that is in the process of closing a $100M round with prominent companies and VCs in the valley. The stock will either be worthless or, up to 1.6M if the company manages to 10x it's current value. At current value, the options would be "worth" $135,000 after paying the strike price. Given the laws in my country of residence there would be no taxes on either exercise or selling the shares.

Or I can choose $400K in after-tax income over the same 4 years.

I think the company has good prospects of succeeding, and they'll certainly have the funding for it. They're in the nice hockeystick part of the growth curve. But nothing is for certain, and there's always ways it can go wrong.

How does a person even begin to make a sensible decision about something like this? I made some spreadsheets, entered some made up probabilities and the math tells me choose the equity. Everyone else tells me take the money.

If I had $400K in cash, I wouldn't spend it all on shares in this company - it seems to risky to me. That's an amount I would definitely miss if I lost it, and it's fully undiversified. Heck I wouldn't even put $400K into just Apple or just Google, and they're a lot less risky!

But the smart money may be to take the risk. What would you do?

You've misunderstood me severely. I'll try to reframe my point; it has absolutely nothing to do with "gateway drug" arguments.

Suppose your country makes it illegal to distribute videos of people dying, and suppose you operate a video sharing website. A user uploads a video to your website that shows a bad traffic accident. You're not sure who the people involved in the accident are. The accident looks severe, people got hurt badly, but you aren't sure whether anybody died.

If you cannot confirm whether the traffic accident victims survived or died, do you delete the video or not? Do you ban traffic accident videos categorically so that your moderators are no longer forced to deal with this ambiguity? Do you ban the general genre of "people getting hurt" videos because your moderators struggle to differentiate people getting hurt from people dying? That's analogous to what tumblr did.

It's certainly not a question of whether or not videos of lethal traffic accidents will turn people into bad drivers. And neither is it a question of whether lethal traffic accident videos should be legal or illegal. It's a question of how moderation policies deal with legally ambiguous content.

Forget sex and violence; consider how youtube handles copyright infringement. People get 'copystriked' all the time in situations youtube's ContentID situation considers ambiguous, in situations that should be covered by fair use or in situations where no copyrighted material was used at all. Youtube has overzealous copyright moderation because they've decided that's the 'safest' way to stay out of courtrooms even though it pisses off and rips off their content creators.

I’ve done a lot of interfacing with C and C++. pybind11 [0] has been the easiest and most effective for me to use. It targets C++, but it’s easy enough to wrap C code with it. Cython brings along a lot more bookkeeping code and overhead in my experience. cffi isn’t bad, but it’s not as flexible/expressive.

Being able to shrug and say “the algorithm did it,” is almost certainly seen as a killer feature for any authoritarian, soulless megacorp and others. Instead of having to take responsibility for decisions, they just point at the box they programmed to act a certain way, and blame it.

Yes, precisely. RenTech's research platform is key. All hedge funds recognize that data is integral to their success. But most funds drown in the amount of data they try to process. RenTech does not. A large number of their research team works directly on innovating data processing, not just strategy design and development.
Someone needs to make the argument that if the defense attorney does not have the same budget per case as the prosecutor that it's essentially like not having an attorney.

The government wants it both ways.

Corporations are people and money = speech.

However, if you're poor, and have no money to defend yourself, it doesn't matter because the government essentially gives you a few dollars.

They're giving you a FRACTION of a lawyer.

I don't want a court appointed attorney. If I can't afford a lawyer the courts should give me a budget to hire my own lawyer.
I have cheap router with 32 Mb RAM and 4 Mb flash (TP-Link TL-WR841N v8), and I'm not sure if I should update from 15.05.1, due to raising memory and flash requirements: https://openwrt.org/supported_devices/432_warning. There's build for my router, with 3,474K sysupgrade image, so it's probably compatible.

not sure if this is the exact solution to your problem, but rcm (https://github.com/thoughtbot/rcm) allows you to create dedicated dotfiles in a .dotfiles directory which are being symlinked back to files, and it has a -t option to create and restore dotfiles with tags. mkrc -t emacs .emacs.d would create a .dotfiles/tag-emacs/ folder and rcup -t emacs restores it.
