/b/ was (never) good, not "negatively primal." The problem with /b/ is that it was conquered by a combined invasion of high schoolers and Stormfront posters, and everybody interesting left.

So, if in your hypothetical everyone was linked to this network and there was no way to leave I imagine it would be fine, generally reflecting how people usually talk to each other, but with maybe double the harassment because there would be no punishment for harassment i.e. there would still be Stormfront posters and high schoolers.
It makes the point that governments "punish" these crimes with the velvet glove on. None of those fines are anywhere close to the point they'd endanger even one yearly profit of these institutions.

Now try being suspected of tax cheating as a smaller company and see how governments punish that (not "convicted" mind you, "suspected", meaning you likely did nothing wrong, and even if you did there's a decent chance it's an accident/lack of knowledge/... rather than outright fraud). Let's see government limit themselves to not endangering even one year's profitability then.

Wow the sugar industry is still at it. Read the abstract.

Sounds like a reference to "rabbit starvation", which is real but a pretty difficult situation to get yourself into.
Actually given the size of these institutions I find the amounts fined staggeringly low. None of these institutions is remotely in danger of losing even one year's profits because of this.

That's how you should judge this. The "highest fine ever" is $700M on a profit of $13400M (after tax) according to their financial report. Or something like $2k for someone making $100k yearly (again calculated as 4% on after tax).

None of these institutions are in any danger of serious consequences. This is a "1% less hookers at the christmas party" punishment.

Huh. 98% of those 'de-labelled' went on to have no adverse reaction to penicillin.

So, what about the 2%? Small study - was that just one person? What was the reaction? Did they die? It's important to understand the cost of a 'false negative' here.

At the same time understanding that, NOT treating folks mis-labelled with an allergy has a cost as well.
It would also heavily detract from actually writing the paper. It's easy in hindsight to think about certain steps it took to get where you end up, but if you are at the start, there are simply too many intentional and unintentional steps to record everything. I much rather have people focus on the actual science than documenting their steps ever few minutes.

That type of thinking has got to go.

An ever-growing number of folks in 'our' society (presuming Western technological) are making only symbolic contributions. Automation is rapidly overtaking jobs.

Understand what that means. It doesn't just mean unemployment/underemployment. It means nobody has to work to create what automation took over. An ever-increasing fraction of the 'lavish society' has no human cost burden at all.

So that knee-jerk thinking above is growing ever-more irrelevant and obsolete. That's pretty much the whole conversation here.

Ask HN: What determines whether you accept a job out of state?
I'm a 33 year old single male who lives in CA (SF), and am in the process of being laid off. In around four weeks, I have got three job offers. While each of them has some appealing aspects, I'd still have to relocate outside of california to Minnesota, Wisconsin, or Arkansas. I'm from the midwest and lived in Minneapolis previously, so the location is not the issue. Instead, I am in a convenient location in my life and like where I'm at in terms of location, friends, etc. And so while I HATE California, I find myself not wanting to jump so quickly at accepting a job offer.

So.....What determines whether you accept a job out of state?

or would you keep looking for another job given that I got three offers in four weeks. I should be able to find a role here in CA in the next month or so, even if it's not optimal.

My options:

a. stay in CA and keep looking for another job

b. accept the job in MN (75K)

c. accept the job in WI (70K)

d. accept the job in AR (80K)

Yes and it's not even malicious basebands, it's any at all. If you want to participate in the cell network in any way, even if you write your own baseband, the network will still be able to report your approximate position using UTDOA, CGI or CGI-TA, ECID, etc. The network needs to gather at least your id/plan ($) and CGI (which antenna and what power) as part of its normal process to give you service.

The impression I get from your comment is that to you happiness is optimizing for money. I’m not trying to critique your values. But I do want to say that not everyone has those same values. Personally, I don’t think I would be happy with the life you are suggesting. Likewise, I do t think you’d be happy with mine.

To those looking for advise, think deeply about what you value.
It's amazing to me just how much of "security" is an illusion, random happenstance, and just being really lucky.

Considering how open, exploitable devices like this represent a significant public risk from their ability to be used to launch attacks on others, it would seem that it is high time for public regulation bureaus with the authority to issue shutdown notices and in extreme cases sequester non-compliant systems. We have radio broadcast regulators that will come physically to a pirate radio station and shut it down. We have registration and inspection systems for vehicles running on public roads to ensure a minimum safety standard. We need to do the same for the public information network.

great work. Pretty sure you can find a lot more scary stuff online by looking for IoT (CoAP, MQTT, etc).

There was a rather scary talk by Lukas Lundgren at defcon 2016 on unauthenticated MQTT[0][1] ... the things he found exposed were just insane. He also used MASSCAN[2], a phenomenal tool, which isn't just useful to probe endpoints but also to actually send payloads (with all its performance/speed benefits).

I cannot speak on Carreyrou, but parts of _When Genius Failed_ make me think that Lowenstein did not have a good grasp of the subject he was writing about.

For example, when discussing LTCM volatility strategies:
>The stock market, for instance, typically varies by about 15 percent to 20 percent a year. Now and then, the market might be more volatile, but it will always revert to form—or so the mathematicians in Greenwich believed. It was guided by the unseen law of large numbers, which assured the world of a normal distribution of brown cows and spotted cows and quiet trading days and market crashes. For Long-Term’s professors, with their supreme faith in markets, this was written in stone. It flowed from their Mertonian view of markets as efficient machines that spit out new prices with all the random logic of heat molecules dispersing through a cloud.
From this quote it looks like Lowenstein believed that
1. Volatility is not mean reverting
2. The reason people at LTCM believed volatility was mean reverting was due to complex mathematical models rooted in market efficiency.
Now, volatility mean reversion is something that can be easily seen by looking at a graph of volatility over time [1].

Also, Lowenstein does not do a good job at describing the way LTCM modeled risk, and the way it failed. In fact, he barely even tries. He just hints here and there about "correlations going to one", but nothing more.
For example, which assumptions failed? Did they assume that different kind of bets (relative value between bonds, merger arbitrage, arbitrage between double-listed equities, etc) were uncorrelated?
Did they get hurt more by different kind of bets being correlated, or by some bets going particularly wrong? Did they stress test their risk measures in any way?

This is a really nice and illuminating post!

Especially cool how all evaluation is done by line 33. (Minor comment: Line 14 may benefit from using a different variable for the function instead of “c”.)

An “aside” comment, as the title mentions “literate C++” [Edit: This was submitted as something like “Build me a Lisp: in less than 50 lines of literate C++”]. This post exemplifies one aspect of literate programming (as Knuth envisioned it), which is “let us concentrate rather on explaining to human beings what we want a computer to do.”

But there are two further features that Knuth-style LP systems have, which are missing here:

• The ability to write your program / explanation in any order (ideally, an order that is best for presentation, rather than an order demanded by the compiler). In this case, the program is explained strictly in the order of lines in the program, which imposes some awkwardness. (Not only in the explanation, but also in the code: e.g. putting a #include on line 34 of 49.)

• Named chunks. So instead of writing

int main() {
try {

in one code block, and having to continue it later, you could write something like, say,

int main() {
try {
[[say hello world]]
} [[handle errors]]

and later fill in the corresponding sections by name.

The original examples by Knuth are somewhat hard to read because they were written in Pascal and the programs were quite low-level but there's a great example available today (a book which won an Academy Award!), now free online — http://www.pbr-book.org/ (random page: http://www.pbr-book.org/3ed-2018/Light_Transport_I_Surface_R... )

But then again, the “no-tools” approach here does have the advantage of not requiring any special build step and not requiring the reader to understand any such conventions, so I guess that's a tradeoff. (They say one of the reasons literate programming never took off is that there are as many literate-programming tools as the number of people trying literate programming; everyone ends up having to write the tool that works for them.)
>The assertion of the authors is that this stuff getting published means the whole field is worthless. Which is of course ridiculous.

Perhaps, but we're undoubtedly in the midst of a crisis of confidence in the process of scientific publication. From the reproducibility crisis to the Diederik Stapel affair to the paper mills in China, almost every field is being severely undermined by weak or deliberately fraudulent research.

Frankly, I've almost given up on the scientific literature as a source of useful information, because I can't really trust most of it. The tools and processes of scientific publication just aren't fit for purpose. My Google Scholar and PubMed searches are overwhelmed with obviously junk papers from pay-to-play journals. Citation is no longer a credible metric because of citation rings. Established high-impact journals have reasonable quality standards, but they still get bamboozled with junk and a paper doesn't come with the supporting evidence I would need to evaluate its validity in any meaningful way. The signal-to-noise ratio of academic publishing is collapsing, and it's bringing down trust in the scientific method with it.

We need major reform and we need it now, because the credibility of science as a whole is under dire threat. The AllTrials campaign has made significant gains in reducing publication bias in medical research, but we need to go much further. We need a publish-by-default model, where everything associated with a research project is published and failure to do so is treated as academic misconduct. We need gold open access, we need full datasets, we need source code, we need rough drafts and lab notes and reviewer's comments. Equally importantly, we need to fix the cultural pathology of publish-or-perish that's driving the proliferation of poor-quality research.

sometimes annoying UX can turn users away instead of leading the users to give them money.

They know the ads are annoying and can turn users away. So they nudge the users with one of those "hey, these ads suck don't they? pay us for an ad-free experience" during ad spots or in place of ad spots.

I don't think I've used another service that uses so many of their prime ad spots to try to advertise getting rid of ads.

This may also suggest that Spotify makes much much much less than $10/user/month on ads. So much less that they can afford not to show paid ads in an ad spot if it'll lead to more paying users. Which I'd agree. Or maybe supply and demand kicks in and they just up their ads pricing as a result of showing less ads. But I don't think the ad-buying market can bear increases in ad pricing, otherwise facebook could just up their ads pricing instead of destroying the newsfeed with so many ads, which hurts user retention.

Comparing Zephyr and TNEO is like comparing apples and oranges. Zephyr is full fledged operating system with networking etc while TNEO is more like basic building blocks of os for those who want to implement everything themselves.

I can warmly recommend Zephyr for BLE usage. It is up to date with recent bt specs and implementation is really solid.
I think soon or later we will need some kind of public institution that will do this sort of scans; all those unsecured IoT printers, vacuum cleaners, fridges, abandoned servers, Synology servers, etc. would become a real threat at some point and the costs of dealing with issues caused by them like identity theft, false accusations because on someone's server there is child porn uploaded by a cracker, bot nets will be more costly than having some institution running routine scans and sending warnings.

Well, stealing is be defined as[0]:

> a: to take or appropriate without right or leave and with intent to keep or make use of wrongfully

Using Spotify without paying them, either directly or by watching ads, falls under that definition. The fact that there is no actual object being taken does not impact this.

If you create a great piece of software and I copy and then sell it, would you not consider it stealing? After all, you still have your copy.

Or, if a client contracts you to configure his network and then refuses to pay, is that not stealing your work? After all, you just used knowledge and time. Nothing stolen here, you still have your knowledge and you can surely make a copy of the configuration files :)

> The fact that you actually believe that you can buy their thoughts, their autonomy, their attention, and their time with your cheap crap doesn't mean if they opt not to give you those things you have been stolen from because those things were never for sale and you can't own them.

I don't believe you can buy their thoughts and I don't think Spotify attempts to. But you can definitely buy their time. That's exactly what you sell when you're employed.

> The best you can do is not do business if you feel like the deal isn't mutually beneficial. Take your ball and go home if you like but don't be dumb enough to call your users thieves for claiming unalienable rights to their own brains and machines.

Again, I totally agree. I would not use Spotify with Ads either. But if I'm not willing to fulfill my side of the deal, be it paying with time or money, I'm in no way entitled to their service.

With the right optimisations, certain longer patterns can be much faster to scan for, on account of the Boyer-Moore approach.

If I asked you to search through a book for 10 consecutive pages of the letter 'Q', you wouldn't need to check every page. The same optimisation can be applied to regex. (Not that most regex implementations bother to do it, though.)
