The headline and article are both misleading. EY never reported they cracked the encryption on the laptop or recovered any private keys to the so-called cold wallets.

Six empty cold wallet addresses were disclosed by Quadriga, and for the most part they look to have been unused for the last year. EY is investigating some other potential addresses which are also empty.

I'd be happy with CD quality - usually I have more than enough download bandwidth and storage space for it. Apple has had Apple Lossless for years but Apple Music (and the iTunes store) still use(s) lossy compression. Movies are now 4K, but Apple has been stuck on 256Kbps AAC since 2009. :(

Though as others have noted CD quality won't improve a terribly mastered recording from the loudness wars.
Wait a second. Did you just lump 4chan in with Russian Intelligence (I assume that's what you meant by Russia and not the entirety of the nation) and Nazis? You should have thrown the Boogie Man and Satan in for good measure.
You know, you can go to 4chan and check it out. You won't get turned into "an operative" or anything. It might not be the den of murderers and thieves its been portrayed as.

I think that since most lower priced groceries are not located in premium retail spots, they can partially use the business as a warehouse, cutting down on cost while allowing them to be more competitive.

The purchase of Whole Foods seems to have benefited Amazon's grocery logistics, added pressure to competitors wanting to enter the online retail from brick-n-mortar sector, allows them to use the b-n-m to serve as warehouse and increases brand recognition
They don't have shadow profiles. That was FUD spread by the news, and articles like the one we're commenting on now that constantly get voted up to the front page.

Here's Facebook's post explaining what they collect for people who haven't registered: https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/04/data-off-facebook/

TLDR: They collect what Google and all the analytics and ad-network companies collect, in order to target ads, along with incidental "user data" like IP address, etc.
If I'm allowed to query the position and/or size of anything else in the DOM I can figure out window size by aligning elements at the edges or making one 100vw x 100vh and querying the position/size of those, so you really can't let me access the position or size of anything. I might have elements styled based on media queries, or old-fashioned DOM queries, so if I'm allowed to change how a button looks based on window size I can then check something about this element that isn't directly related to size or position. For example it doesn't make since to have a "download the app" button on desktop, but if you let me make it invisible then you can't let me query the visibility of it. This is true of all styling, if you let me derive it from vh/vw then you can never let me query it after that, which makes a lot of things tricky. Trading functionality that relies on DOM/media queries for privacy is totally valid, I'm just saying that it will make some non-obvious things impossible for a developer to do, and there are sites today that people enjoy using that will have their core functionality broken if this is the future. Browser-based CAD tools were recently discussed on HN, and those are right out. Really, I think the future is both, but I'm not quite sure how they'll coexist.
> > Rent means having access to liquid capital

> Rent means you're spending more on housing

That's not a contradiction; liquidity has a cost. Yes, by tieing up capital in property purchase, you can, on average, trade liquidity for lower total cost if you are using the property forever. (Whether the actual total cost ends up being lower if you ever decide to move depends on market conditions and timing and transaction costs; transaction costs on both ends of a home purchase or sale are a lot higher than entering or exiting a residential lease.)
I suppose if you use IG like that then sure. For me, I follow other photographers and online "zines", so my IG is full of other artists. "Influencers", celebrities, and meme accounts are banished from my feed. In turn, I only post the photos I want to be public, that I'd sell as prints or show in a gallery.

If you follow the vanity stream then you're going to see exactly that, but IG can be a totally different experience. For me, it's a fantastic source of inspiration and a way to see what other artists are doing.

Now, for me the only use FB has left is a dumping ground for my photos that the older members of my family want to see but whom are not on IG yet.

Compounding the power differential is what seems to be a "thin tweed line" in some universities or departments, akin to the "thin blue line" of protecting a cop who'd made a mistake or was corrupt. It's not just solidarity with one's status group, nor the not-unusual general bit of arrogance, but a (partly understandable) prejudiced suspicion of any student who alleges wrongdoing. There's also a willingness to dismiss gross, even illegal, abuses as merely "academic politics", and imply that the wronged person didn't merit not being wronged.

Having been around many universities, I've seen a number of grad students who believed in academic universal ideals (e.g., the professor as a brilliant and benevolent citizen of the university microcosm) get blindsided by imperfect reality -- when they have the misfortune to be on the receiving end of someone else's mistake/wrongdoing, were powerless, and were not able to find anyone who would help them.

But I don't mean to discourage people from pursuing a PhD. This is just one reason for advice you've already heard, about the importance of finding a good advisor, who'll guide you through the process, and have your back if/when anything goes wrong. (Actually, in all the cases people have told me, it seems the student's career would've been saved if their advisor had had their back, and/or had enough influence to get the department/university to fix the problem. One other student came close to getting scrod, but didn't, because their parent was a noted academic at a top university, who could not only give good advice, but could also have their back, and simply make a phone call, like a good advisor.)

Without knowing more there's zero reason to blame C++. This looks like it implicates (a) a questionable but quite intentional performance optimization and (b) possibly a V8 GC race or otherwise an issue with reference consistency between the C++ code and the JIT'd JavaScript runtime. Both of those issues would exist regardless of the language chosen--D, Erlang, Java, Python, Rust, w'ever.

Remove V8's JIT and GC and then one can have a meaningful discussion about memory safe languages. But remove those and the vast majority of Chrome bugs would also disappear. Those are the places of highest complexity while also being the areas which no language offers any meaningful assistance.

And this is why I think it's crazy that the WebAssembly folks are dead set on a specification that presumes and requires tight, direct object bindings between the host and the WebAssembly VM, particularly wrt JavaScript GC integration, as opposed to using indirect references with a clear contract that employ proxy objects for anchoring--in effect a sort of runtime sandboxing which falls short of IPC but which substantially circumscribes system complexity (e.g. invisible data dependencies) and substantially preserves the ability for memory-safe host languages (compilers and runtimes) to meaningfully ensure their invariants.

What we need more than yet another memory-safe language is the motivation and experience in multi-language integration. What we're getting are another generation of programmers recapitulating many unforced errors. Memory-safe languages aren't new. Nor are memory-safe and ergonomic languages. Nor is, for that matter, the thinking that one can throw a single language at a complex problem despite the entire history of computer science being an unending parade of new languages and optimization models with poor integration stories. Bare C FFI is only the most minimal and easiest requirement to get correct when it comes to integration. There's so much more to the problem.

Purely anecdotal but when I could have moved to FB I held back because Myspace was more interesting. I eventually moved to FB as I got older, because.. I was older. My interests changed.

And, linking to HuffPo article is just fine.

I was calling out to the fact that the links are posted as:(Economist, CNBC, Arundhati Roy in HuffPo) instead of just (Economist, CNBC, HuffPo) which implies that you're giving special credence to Ms. Roy who is not a neutral reporter in any meaning of the word. Which, in turn, leads me to be a little cognizant of your biases.
I suspect there’s something to what you say. People buying on price are more likely to hit counterfeits. It’s also statistics. With a large enough population, some people are going to get unlucky purely by chance.
I'm still hanging on, solely because it's the easiest way to see new pictures and updates from far flung family members.

I don't feel it's my place to ask them to share the pictures and updates another way, so I'm remain basically a read only FB user.

If there were a simple way to tee those things into some other feed, I'd leave FB as well.

Our team knows first hand how HR teams at growing companies are stretched too thin. It can be so difficult to find time to focus on internal employee engagement and growth while balancing external hiring, onboarding and many other tasks that can be more important to management.

That is why we have built the first AI-powered HR Assistant that provides instant responses to employee questions and improves the employee experience. We think of it as a way to put an HR person in every employee's pocket. We are giving early access to our HR assistant from now until April.

If you are interested in more information, follow the link above and my team will reach out to you for more information.
The initial reaction to this is "OMG our computers are so insecure, the world is ending", but I think that this is great. It means that the lower hanging fruit is gone, and that security is taken seriously. That it makes sense for chip developing companies to start investing into security, and not just performance. This should be seen as another step of progress.
It seems people too often compare the ideal cases between two choices, but completely discount the likely cases. Such seems the situation when debating microservices vs monoliths.

Basically every Android and IOS app you use collects telemetry

So it's OK, then. Jimmy jumped off a bridge, so it's OK if Johnny does it, too. No harm done!

but suddenly when Microsoft does it it's a Big Deal

No, it's a big deal because Microsoft feels entitled to collect information about people using... wait for it... a calculator.

using anonymous data

It's not anonymous. We know it's going to at least get a timestamp and IP address.

I don't see the issue with refining UX

Neither do I. Do it by bringing people in and testing the program on them, the way it was done for decades before "telemetry" became one of those SV euphemisms.

Every high quality commercial app does this.

No. They don't.
Yes. I have the same reaction when I see an old site called a 'temple'. Who -knows- what the frame of mind was of a culture thousands of years ago (particularly if nothing's written)? Often it seems like just another way of implying 'pre-scientific', 'magical', 'savage'... less-developed than us.

A more -practical- explanation seems more plausible in many cases. E.g. Gobekli looks -educational- to my eyes; I see multiple classrooms.
Yeah, I think it means just that.

I guess there is some conceivable exploit where you compile some hostile code written in a safe language to C++ with MSVC and then run it, and the attacker could exploit this bug somehow? But who does that?
Would it then be OK for the autonomous car DIYer to modify the software to drive a bit more aggressively? Or to always favor passenger survival over pedestrian/bicyclist survival in an emergency situation?

Use CompCert! (And C instead of C++)
This has been a common refrain from a lot of people. Facebook seems to have a lock on community it’s discussion forums for all sorts of small groups.

It works since basically everyone is on it and you don’t have to make people register and create an account as a barrier to entry. People used to have email listservs instead, but I think there is so much email marketing now that the signal to noise ratio on most people’s personal accounts approaches 0.

If someone could create a platform for an online discussion forum that doesn’t require signing up for a new service, will notify you of activity, and is free that would probably help a lot of people move over. NextDoor might have been able to, but they’re too focused on specific geographic neighborhoods and they have a serious racism problem.

Should be roughly neutral in effect; the money is pulled out of the rental side of the housing market by people who aren't able to afford sole purchase going together to do a joint purchase and going into the owner-occupied housing side that way, but that either drops rental prices (making purchase at high prices less attractive) or gets current rental units sold off into the owner-occupied market because they are unable to make enough to be profitable as rentals, increasing supply on the owner-occupied side and dropping prices.
If they're paying people to build this software, they presumably want to make it good.

I find it more likely that the real answer is they're trying to "maximize shareholder value." If Microsoft wanted to make good software, there are several thousand other things it could do other than collecting information on people using a calculator.

And paying exorbitant chargeback fees.
Feels like an old paradigm approach you are taking here.

I focus on three things only: healthy food (85% raw vegan diet), exercise (running, weights), and peace of mind (without this, nothing else matters).

If either of these are out of balance, then I have to address whatever is standing in the way of that.

Oftentimes, it means cutting something (or someone) out of my life immediately.

Also, meditation, conscious breathing, yoga, and a spiritual outlook on life.
I believe they are hand drawn. Check out more posts on the blog, they are similarly wonderfully presented!
I loved PurpleRestore and never would have wanted to go back to the iTunes way of managing my device.
My project currently has 104366 lines of Rust code and 174 uses of 'unsafe' (many of which are somewhat spurious, like usage of `mmap` and other system calls that don't have safe wrappers in external crates). My project does a lot of low-level stuff (e.g. ptracing, sharing memory with C++ code in other processes) and has lots of crazy low-level optimizations but still only has one use of 'unsafe' per 600 lines of code. I haven't made any particular effort to reduce usage of 'unsafe' either.

> it's no more safe if you use that keyword to do the same things that are done in C++

Sure, but using 'unsafe' everywhere that you would write unsafe C++ code simply isn't idiomatic Rust and except for very specific and limited situations, Rust developers don't do that.
it's just some boring old counters to measure clipboard usage.

I definitely value ease of use and zero-setup solutions - the issue for me here is that the situations where I would consider running a service mesh are the same situations where predictability and reproducibility would trump ease of use - namely any kind of production setting where down-time is sufficiently undesirable.

Testing with the agent would certainly help, but then you lose some of the "ease of use" benefits as I expect you would have to run a mini cluster in CI in order to run your agent?

There are few important difference between this and a "normal" dependency:

- Even if the application is fully tested with your agent, it could be something as simple as turning your agent off that could break things.

Hypothetical scenario: multiple instances of the application are running with your agent enabled. Someone decides to turn off monitoring for some reason - nothing bad happens and they go home at the end of the day. Later on, some instances are restarted, or the cluster is re-scaled. Now you have half your cluster on a different code-base and your serialisation breaks because you were doing something silly like using pickle or a java object stream.

- The examples I mentioned in my previous comment would not happen with a normal dependency, because the version of that dependency would already be managed through standard means. If I were to go an look at the code, I would be able to see the actual code that is running, and the exact versions of all dependencies used.
I’d like to use Firefox, but their lack of AppleScript supports makes that unfeasible. I could get past its atrocious performance, but not past a missing feature I require multiple times a day.

Most other browsers are Chromium based, so might as well use Chrome.

I still don't understand what you mean.

If I pay $2000 a month rent I'm always going to have less liquid capital than if I pay $1000 a month mortgage, aren't I? The mortgage payer ties up their money in the equity so it's not liquid, but the rent payer's money is just gone, so it's infinitely not liquid, and on top of that more of their money is gone.

When you've paid off the mortgage the mortgage payer has more liquid capital, and a property.
