I completely agree, but it would be hard to incentivize investors to pay for all of the developer time (and, in the case of autonomous vehicles, driver/vehicle time) needed to get the systems up and running without the potential for huge returns to equity.

As I see it, there are two ways to avoid the wasteful duplication of effort that we're seeing today: Either a private monopoly pays for it, or the government does. Both options (and the status quo) have their pros and cons, but I'd personally prefer that the government fund it - ideally, borrow to fund R&D now, and then pay off the debt through taxes on autonomous vehicles once they go live. In practice, we're definitely trending toward the first option, one implication of which is that open source is a pipe dream.
>Ignoring that, switching from your ISPs DNS prevents all kinds of shit they like to do like redirecting to ads on an unknown domain.

That's like saying base64 encoding your texts prevents your carrier from snooping on them. DNS packets aren't encrypted. There's nothing preventing your ISP from intercepting your DNS packets and redirecting them back to their servers. All you're doing is making it slightly harder on their end.
Is housing in Amsterdam that problematic? A friend recently moved there and would send me photos of places he was looking at for him and his family. He had plenty of really nice options at costs they could afford. It seemed vastly more affordable than NYC or the Bay Area.
> Knowing that the founders had a 10-40x equity stake larger than mine made it nearly impossible to feel invested in the company.

Knowing that you don't have an equal stake in the company makes it almost impossible for the founders to view you as a peer. This is bad for everyone involved.
I think the point they're making is that you cannot literally do fractional reserve banking with gold or bitcoins, because there is a physically or technically limited amount of them.

In your example, they can fractional reserve with letters of credit and trust. At no point can a bank actually loan out more physical gold then it had in its possession.
They ended up shipping processors that support FMA on the xbone, so they probably just used that.
Another way to get Go like speed is to use Go. Go has an excellent built in http web server, and unlike Python it comes standard with a bug reducing type system and an easy and intuitive syntax. In fact, the entire specification of the language can be read in an hour by a novice programmer.

Not only that, but Go has best in class editing support in VSCode and Vim, has an official code formatting tool (sorry black), and makes writing concurrent code painless with a syncronous abstraction (sorry asyncio).

Also it may have good response times in a vacuum but there’s still the Python memory tax, startup times (which matter when you need to scale horizontally), and scaling of latency to think about.

Even for non-technical searches, Google is becoming increasingly worthless.

I think a lot of it is about giving too much weight to (its flawed) geolocation.

Last night I searched for "Vintage computer store $location" while I was in $location. All I got back was Best Buy locations, eBay listings, irrelevant Yelp lists, and local newspaper articles about computers in general.

Today I'm in a different place, but performed the identical search, including the $location where I was last night, and guess what -- helpful results!

Google is trying too hard to be Yelp, and not hard enough to be a search engine.
It's true the total CEF AUM is small, I don't think it is misleading because they still are being sold to retail at the end of the day even if the AUM is less than $1B. MLP's also started small too. The overall leveraged loan market for retail investors is much larger though as far as I am aware.

> But it is boneheaded to serve up results that completely ignore one of or more search terms.

Then you've never worked on a search engine. There's a real bias in the comments here because the way technical people search for technical topics is dramatically different from the way the general audience uses a search engine. Most people use natural-language sentence fragments in search. Requiring exact match for every term in a query would vastly reduce usability.

No major search engine has worked that way since the 90s, I don't know why this is suddenly becoming a narrative on this site now.
This does not sound like logging, because I would imagine that logs wouldn't be kept for years (2012!). The article implies that the passwords were stored and searchable in clear text. Yes, logs can be searchable, but this isn't what the article implies.

Driving deflation isn't providing value.

The claim isn't even wrong, it doesn't make sense.
It seems very difficult to prove that in a court of law. If you have a "smoking gun" then you probably don't need comparisons, but in the case where you don't have hard evidence proving similarity is much easier.
I actually do know how hard it is to get tenure. My point still stands.

Very few academics declare bankruptcy when their businesses fail. Very few academics pour their life savings or retirement funds into their academic career only to walk away with less than nothing and owing money they might never be able to repay.

Comparative skills is one thing. Comparative risk is another.
> Does anyone know how to find out?

Join the ops team at each of those companies, work your way to a position where you can analyze log files, then start analyzing them and see if you can find data that should have been obscured.

I don’t see any way to find out otherwise, we are talking about querying TBs of internal, company specific private logs to see if someone made a mistake. The best anyone could tell you is “I work for company X and I don’t think we’ve had this problem.”

Edit: just using a password manager with unique password for every site will solve most of the problems from a customer perspective. My Facebook password is unique to Facebook and I have 2FA so even an engineer with my password from a log couldn’t login to my account.

>What’s more surprising is how much flak the school of thought is taking from liberal economists who’d appear to be natural allies, such as Larry Summers

That's not in the slightest bit surprising. Larry Summers instinctively sides with the large banks and has essentially built an entire career off that.

He was also one of the advisors to the Soviet Union breakup who told them how to privatise in such a way that oligarchs captured most of the wealth.
ATT own FCC; they're not scared of "oversight and regulation" because their lawyers write all of that stuff. ISTM this is more likely to be starting a campaign against NN or even the sort of interconnection we see from VOIP providers or other services like Twilio.

We can fix this if we get a $1 payment from the VOIP provider every time we terminate a VOIP call."

It's how you raise prices without people noticing. Video games have been doing this for years. "Your game is still $60! But, I mean, if you want the full experience, want to be competitive, and want to play all the content, well, that's $80+."
Its one of the worst tools I've ever used:

1. Markdown support is a realtime state machine that often gets confused and ends up formatting half your post differently than intended.

2. Its worse on memory than slack.

3. I like threading conversations, but microsoft leaves a lot to be desired. You can't link to the middle of a thread. Someone posting to an unrelated thread can make your whole pane jump.

4. The client has oodles of unused whitespace which means that you can only show 5-6 messages on 1080p screen.

5. Compounding 4, notifications, chat, and calling all involve swapping the main frame which interrupts the workflow. This is made worse by swapping views can take seconds.

6. Video quality is not good (though about the same as skype). But there were other restrictions that were annoying like needing to be in a call already to share your screen. Limited options for group chat.

7. Poor integration with existing Active Directory deployments. None of my companies email groups were able to be ported in because that would make a full team which isn't necessarily what you want.

8. Teams have all of their channels public or all of their channels private. There's no way to make a point of contact channel for a team. Combined with (7) it can be very difficult to seek out a group of people vs a specific individual.

What do you mean by this? They seem to be hitting their delivery targets despite incredibly (and unpredictably) high demand.
Let me propose a third option: there is a top tier of success, whether in business, government or academia, which often, if not always, requires one to be a corrupt and/or cutthroat PoS. The universe usually rewards this behavior, at least materially.

It's certainly possible to be significantly successful in any of those areas by being a hard working and ethical human being. But the kind of person who is hellbent on being in the top 0.01% (a Fortune 500 CEO, a top-level bureaucrat, the head of a prestigious academic department/institution) is someone who, to some degree, values their personal success over the suffering of others.

This is how you get Monsanto, Communism and $100k+ in debt for a BA in English.

What dogmatically anti-academic, anti-government and anti-capitalism arguments miss is that the fault is in sociopathic behavior, and not the arena that a given sociopathic individual excels in.

> There are therefore three speed information elaboration systems that function

The standby instruments elaborate their speed and altitude information directly from
the pneumatic inputs (“standby” probes), without this being processed by an ADM or
ADR. The ISIS is a unique standby instrument integrating speed, altitude and attitude
information. It uses the same static and total pressure sensors as ADR3.

You do realize that "vast selection of easy-to-use libraries" is the most important feature of a programming language. Right? It's up there with, "it's not hard to hire programmers for the language", which Python also benefits from.

Like, I'm partial to Haskell, but if I'm actually trying to get work done, I reach for a language with a robust ecosystem. These days I reach for Typescript, but before then, python was my go-to since it's way nicer to program with than java/c++/c/javascript.

Oh, since you want to bring velocity into the game: a currency with infinite velocity has 0 value, and is therefore irrelevant.

That's why it is trivial, the velocity of money doesn't change the deal, unless it is varying wildly, and in that case, you're screwed anyway...
Strange legal choices wrt to the SEC? Just wait for the judge decision: the SEC is in a clear overreach here, as all the tweets they cited in their filing are non material.

They even misquoted the tweet to say "500K" instead of "about 500K" and anyone can add up the previsouly published numbers to conclude the company should reach a runrate of 500K at the end of the year (Musk tweeted nothing new, it was already disclosed in the quarterly report).

You'll see.
Doesn't it depend on whether you deposit your bitcoin into a bank? If everyone's always only keeps their money in personal wallets then you'd be correct, even if banks were just "a wallet but we maintain it" then you'd still be correct.

But if banks continued to work like they do now, where you deposit your money into the bank, and then they show a number when you login, but it's just what they "owe" you. In that case they could continue to do fractional reserve banking just as they do now.

So basically this debate is not whether fractional reserve banking is possible with bitcoin, but whether banking with bitcoin would continue to resemble banking now.
> localization > accessibility

Speaking as a disabled (visually impaired) user here: Chrome can translate many websites while keeping their functionality intact, to the point where for many tasks, understanding the local language of that website is not a requirement. Granted, we can say this is for simple tasks, things that we already know how to do in our native language and are much the same across the world. But I'm living in a country where the majority of people don't speak English and the majority of websites and apps don't have an option to switch them into English. I'm still learning the local language, which is a slow process, but I don't feel too bad using websites here to get things done.

Chrome can't improve the accessibility of an inaccessible website or app, full-stop. If it's inaccessible to the point of being unusable, there is nothing the browser can do. Maybe as a developer I can userscript it into compliance, or maybe I can just go to one of your competitors who either have an accessibility-first culture or have stumbled on accessibility by accident (I don't really care which). And maybe all the other blind people out there who don't know how to write JavaScript can learn it so they can make your website work for them. It's just as easy as learning how to say "Add to Cart" in Spanish, right? The other day I had to use the browser console just to check out on Lenovo's website, for crying out loud. Lenovo. Come on.
It's unfortunate to see how deep this myth of entrepreneurship runs, and I think this sentiment really highlights the issue.

In the statement above, successful people are literally conflated with the stories being told by these business schools. In my opinion, the majority of successful people (and, surely, some of those are entrepreneurs) do not fit into the mold fetishized by the business schools in this piece. Indeed, that type of alleged "super entrepreneur" strikes me as very rare.

I believe successful people in general have no need to feel attacked by this article. It's those who have accrued bizarrely large amounts of wealth by leveraging someone else's innovation through legal cleverness and rent-seeking that should be (somewhat) concerned.
The title 'Keeping Passwords Secure' only covers perhaps the second, not so interesting part of this article. It does not cover the actual news item in this article: Facebook stored passwords plaintext.
Staged to what benefit?
A few days ago I commented on the Stadia on HN and basically predicted the same thing. Does not seem to be a popular opinion however..
This is really inexcusable, but so much of what facebook has done or does is at this point I'm not surprised. I blocked all their IPs and do not have an account.

If i had to guess, it was probably legacy code that causes this. Mark Z. started this with raw PHP, if he had access to or had use an framework, they would have provided salted passwords for free. (it is basically impossible to do this in django, rails, etc). That does not make it Ok since they have 1000s of engineers are qualified to fix it, but they probably have/had higher priorities, clearly security is not one of them

>>When we can start fining you for your mistakes, when developers can start getting fired for any mistakes immediately.

Sounds good to me. Plenty of people in other industries get fired all the time for violating best practices, regulations, and so on. Why should software be any different? Are we special?
But that isn't what would happen. What would happen is tesla would go out of business because it's no better than it's competitors and because the industry is perfectly competitive no one would have money to reinvest and the tech would never advance.
IANAL: I would assume it depends on the situation. If I move from company A to B, and I own a database in both, it is reasonable to expect that mistakes I made at A I won't repeat at B.

If A and B were pharmaceuticals and I know A secretly wasted 20b on a compound that B is considering to test, maybe this is a trade secret that I should be careful divulging.

My intuition is that there is a line between "taking professional skills with you" and "trade secret".
Coincidentally, I recently had a family member involved in a terrible accident and I was the first person called by the police officer (an unknown number) because I appeared first in my family member's phone (and I subsequently had to relay the news). As such, I don't care about robocalls because you really never know. Even if the probability is low, I'd rather be bothered in those situations. I just stopped caring about something that ultimately doesn't matter in the big picture.

Back to the point, I think it was staged, but more to illustrate the CEO also is getting robocalled. If he sat up there and just said it, who wouldn't roll their eyes and say "yeah sure". Without being in the right place, recording at the right time, there is literally no way to convey "I'm having this problem too", even then, there'd be skeptics.

The US is a good market to start in. Large, most people speak a common language (English), tons of people on the internet.

Additionally, many of these internet companies are formed from the ashes and exiles of older companies in the US. Valve is founded by former Microsoft employees, Google got Jeff Dean and Sanjay from DEC, etc.

Also, a bunch of money flows from investors who profited off early internet companies in the US, such as the Paypal mafia and Netscape. Investors who want their startups nearby.
> price to pay is really high.

I definitely agree and this is my main point: If Google or others have to fundamentally restructure their business model, or the cost of keeping up with the regulations outweighs the potential upside (and here cost includes all metrics: real cost, opportunity cost), then they will most definitely back out, scale down, offer a reduced service, or worst of all, charge for their software! -- gasp!
> You should always hash the pwd client-side first... wtf ?

This is very rare. What production systems do you know of that use SRP or similar mechanisms? As far as I know the vast majority of companies and applications use server side hashing.
UK Treasury and economists from all around the world have all come to the conclusion that a hard brexit is significantly more harmful than a soft brexit

The problem is that these same people all came to the conclusion that on voting Leave, during the negotiation period the UK would lose 500,000 - 800,000 jobs and enter a massive recession caused by "uncertainty".

The UK has since hit the lowest levels of unemployment on record and economic growth is outstripping Germany, France and Italy.

Economists have no credibility with regards to Brexit. None. They have less than zero credibility in fact: if they're saying something, it's a good sign the reality is the opposite.

Thus the idea that no deal would be bad for the UK is a deeply suspect one. There are many things the UK can do outside the EU that would accelerate growth even further still, according to conventional economics. But regardless of what you personally believe, at this point it's just guessing - your views have no more legitimacy than the views of people who think any sort of deal with the EU is bound to be harmful to the country and its prosperity.
I just have my phone permanently on silent / no-vibrate. And I check it when I feel like it (e.g. when checking HN or other news, between meetings, etc.). And I redirect unanswered calls to google voice to get the transcription of voicemail as a text.

If you’re not required to be on call for reason or the other, I can only recommend this approach. No wasted time with robo calls and also puts some humility into your hot shot boss that thinks it’s ok to try to call you about whatever at 1045pm. ;)
