Generally these insurance policies have requirements or cluases for things like training staff on good security practices, documenting that this training happened. Helps to lower exposure to lawsuit (ie we weren't negligent). I know of one insurer that requires companies to place a hardware device that blackholes dns in front of the customers network. Things like this really help to lower exposure to attackers. I'm surprised black hole dns isn't more common.

What is this ridiculous obsession with executable size? How much time did this author spend chasing down alternatives to a measly 120MB? If they're working on art project then fair enough, but if they're working on a useful program then surely anything else they could have done with that time would have brought more value to end users than shaving off 3 cents' worth of disk space.
Tesla is wasting time, money and focus by investing too much in self-driving tech (they're even having their own chip division now! - is Tesla really in financial a position to compete with Intel/Nvidia now?).

Not to mention they made all of their Model 3's thousands of dollars more expensive by including the "full self-driving hardware-that-wasn't" in every unit to the point where it didn't even make sense for Tesla to sell the base model anymore.

Keep it simple stupid - focus on making great high-value EVs, and keep dropping their prices in a profitable manner. Stop throwing billions of dollars on "full self-driving tech" that will never work well enough.

'q:' should not be captured by the browser? Nevertheless impressive work.

But why isn't there more alarm—or even action—over the fact that foods that were near-universally consumed by people are now increasingly capable of quite literally killing a relatively large part of the population? For example, why is hand sanitizer still widely distributed? When will it end? When all we're capable of consuming is powdered formula?

Edit: everyone wondering about hand sanitizer, I was thinking along the lines of the hygiene hypothesis, ie https://www.researchgate.net/publication/12048610_Asthma_and.... I believe I saw this study on here a few years ago.

How much of this is due to many of the buyers were fans where Tesla could do not wrong? I know one of those people.

I think it would be possible to make a clock that does not rely on judgments as inputs (although has judgements as rules)

You mention a couple

- Status of root DNSServers

But we could come up with more (I suspect around 50 metrics would be comprehensive)

- Ratio of servers reachable by http vs https
- Ratio of servers hosted in countries with mature legal frameworks (needs work)
- Ratio of devices able to reach "representative servers" (ie can your device in beijing reach bbc news and WeChat and Russian newspaper)

- Ratio of devices in areas with "24 hour" electricity supply

- ratio of servers that do not have basic security holes plugged

- ratio of devices that have uptodate security patches

- current volume of DDOS attacks

- Number of successful ransomware attacks per day

- number of networks only reachable through N pipes (ie resilience to network failure)

German regulators are known to be on the stricter side compared to other EU countries and Banks/Financials aren't really popular in Germany anyway. So I doubt that this plays any role in the investigation.

But so far, the FT allegations didn't prove anything and coordinated short selling ahead of the release of the articles appears suspicious. On the other hand, the FT doesn't back down so there should be some merit to their stories.

Wirecard will present an external audit report these days about the allegations that Softbank will probably already have seen. The news about the investment probably indicates that the report isn't too bad for Wirecard.
I think this is probably more important than people give it credit for. I have an acquaintance who works R&D at a traditional car company (but on self driving features) he says the internal 'fights' between ICE and electric are very real and damaging.
>It has a constitution and an elected legislature, so it's definitely not an "authoritarian state"

I probably should have used the word "totalitarian". Yes, MA is a representative (some groups being much better represented than others) democracy. It still carries out the will of "the people" with an iron fist though. The people and government of MA basically worship government authority as though it is some inherent force of good in the world. When the government is doing something wrong the socially acceptable thing to do in MA is to bend over and take it. In other, less authoritarian, places it's socially acceptable to disobey the government or at least walk the line by complying with the letter instead of the intent. And by socially acceptable I mean that even the people working for the state will exercise discretion.

It's kind of hard to convey in an internet comment but the people of MA kind of treat the government like people used to treat the church 200yr ago. I got chastised by a couple of my coworkers for replacing my own damn water heater (one of the state's more asinine laws is that all plumbing requires a licensed plumber), not because "OMG, it could leak" but because I disobeyed the law. I find that kind of religious devotion to the authority of the state even when it is nonsensical to be very disagreeable.

>It has one of the lowest rates of police violence in the country

The cops are too busy meddling in matters of economic interest to them. Also it's a fairly left state and the police aren't idiots so they know they can't get away with rampant violence. It definitively could be worse. That doesn't mean the current situation is in any way satisfactory.

>I don't understand the quip about the cops either

The state police has tons of influence at all levels of government so the government given a choice between something that's good for the people vs good for the police will side with the police. The only time they typically don't is when the trade-off is between the government in general vs the police. MA judged are very much known for reading political pros and cons between the letters of the law. This is is a longstanding gripe many people have. That a MA judge read the law and interpreted it to deny power to the police is an unexpected outcome.
I'm quite sure eventually this will all align with the research into sugar which basically says that sugar is poison. Especially in the quantities that the modern people eat these days.

Sugar when eaten with a certain number of hours after a high fat meal, is certainly a valid answer.

Sugar by itself is not. Fat by itself is neither.

Fat digests slowly, so for many hours the blood is "fatty" after eating a high fat meal. Fat in the blood makes the (muscle) cells less insulin sensitive, thus the sugar is not readily absorbed which leads to blood sugar spikes.

Those spikes freak out the pancreas, which will try to push even more insulin into the blood. Eventually this (also) leads to type2.
> understand that people are varied and different and not entirely defined by which groups they fit into

Funnily enough when this idea is called "diversity" it's much less popular.
Though it doesn't entirely answer your question, several philosophers of speech have identified no metaphysical difference between speech and non-speech, and some find the justifications for a law guaranteeing freedom of speech to be ultimately unfounded[0]. The issue for them is not whether speech causes harm (it does) but whether the harms are sufficient to allow some kind of regulation on speech; there is no evidence showing that speech "invariably causes less harm [than non-speech]". Several have argued this to be the case in the context of hate speech or pornography - it's conceivable their arguments may extend to widening current law (or college policy, since most discussion on the topic takes place in the context of universities[1]) to take into account microaggressions - which, as the researchers have noted, may not always be conscious[2].

Potential market manipulation happened primarily on German stock exchanges, there's no reason anyone else but German regulators would investigate here. If you manipulate US stocks it's also the SEC that investigates, not the regulator in the home country of the trader (they might be involved though).

I used to drink quite a bit as a student and for a few years after uni. It's very common in the UK.

Now I have children I'd be up in the night quite a lot and if you were drunk it would feel horrendous. Also there is the possibility that you might need to be there for them if they were sick or need to go to hospital in the middle of the night. Additionally I like to do a lot of sport in my free time and I struggle to do anything even a gentle bike ride or walk if I've had a drink.

A couple of years ago I set myself a 2 drink limit. I've only broken it once or twice and I don't see that as an issue. Most of the time it means I'm ok to drive in an emergency, can be up early without a hangover and can stay active. I have a beer at home 2 or 3 times a week and really enjoy it so I don't think drinking alone is an issue for me.

Wish I'd done it years ago!

>Duke isn't some bastion of progressivism

That's precisely the point and the problem - the University is there to make money, and the students are the customers. This conceptualization of the goal of the institution had risen on lockstep with the growth of the administration-class in universities, and is at odds with the purported purpose of the academy - to holistically educate students and open minds.

The administration obviously thinks this negative PR is lesser than whatever fallout it would receive from the _sealed_ complaints of a minority of students.

It's dumb that in 2017 the author doesn't say anything specific about Rust, which is by far the strongest "C replacement" candidate.

The author doesn't deal with the problem that the "direct access to memory without abstractions" style they love so very easily drifts into undefined behaviour. It also optimizes very poorly due to lack of aliasing information, unless you enable type-based alias analysis in which case accidental undefined behavior is catastrophic.

The "dynamically checked C" they propose as a solution to C's safety issues is no solution at all until you can get it to work in practice. A lot of really great people, including the researchers he cites, have tried really hard to make it work and have failed in practice. He doesn't seem to understand why they failed or have any insight into how to overcome the problems.
I doubt it. HFT is a shrinking industry. Solarflare implements their high end NICs using FPGAs, so they have deep expertise in FPGA implementations of network stuff, as well as integrating those implementations with the host OS (ie, writing drivers). My guess is they're interested in offerings related to what's commonly called "software defined networking": running multiple virtual networks over a single physical network, dynamic route optimization, load balancing, etc. This is a key building block of cloud computing, which is a fast growing industry. Implementing it in FPGA firmware instead of actual software makes a lot of sense, so I suspect Xilinx is planning to improve it's offerings in this area.

Japan succeeds in creating world's first man-made crater on asteroid
I try to get people to understand that coding is writing logic. That is actually two separate skills: writing and logic. Many people want programming to be something that it isn't, possibly something glorified by games or media. That said you can generally detect potentially great future programmers without talking about any code or coding experience.

When teaching people to write code I try to get them to practice thinking about writing instructions. Actually practicing their writing skills. The important part of that is that they struggle through the thinking process of finding a solution as a series of pieces and that they communicate that solution clearly.

What I want them to avoid is them thinking about programming as lego pieces they put together, because that becomes their expectation and reality. The problem with this is that when a person limits their expectation to putting things together and they move from education to employment they tend to be really good at configuring things and really bad at writing original code.
I am eagerly waiting for the first set of CVEs related to WASM, and the "you are holding it wrong" comments from WASM advocates.
I just don't get the obsession of some people with "walkable cities". What is reasonable walking time at -20 during snowstorm or at +30 at blazing sun? Multiply that with reasonable pedestrian speed and get outer diameter of the mystic "walkable city". The way I would define reasonable values that would be roughly 2-3km. That's a village, not even a town.
It is certainly not bizarre. Extrapolating from the past is almost always the best baseline for predicting future. I put emphasis on the word baseline.

Difference between "agression" and "microagression" is one of scale - and they are at a very different scale, hence the "micro". But the intent to hurt is common.

We can see even in this thread people talking about the need to "toughen" up students.

Some people who think that any form of physical hurt would be completely unacceptable still seem to think that emotional hurt is completely fictional and it's totally OK to inflict arbitrary amounts of it on people, then refuse to believe their own accounts of the hurt.

If you've read 4 or 5 articles already, maybe it signifies a trend?

Another common theme in these threads are comments attempting to dismiss and marginalize these victims because it doesn't align with one's political ideologies. I'm surprised you didn't mention that. If you've read these threads, I'm sure you've noticed the support for censorship and the sneaky attempts to justify censorship for political ideology.

Yes, you are right, if a professor teaches that the sun orbits the earth, that should be questioned. And if it was that blatant, then we would know about it already. But what if a professor teaches that biological sex exists? Should they be censured? What if a professor says there aren't anything such as biological sex? Should they be censured?

How many of these censorships are because a physics professors claimed that the sun orbits the earth? None. If you've really paid attention to this issue, you know that most of these censorship are due to political reasons - whether it is Evergreen professors or the CERN scientist and everyone in between.

I can understand the support for censorship in the media, but I can't understand any support for it on a hacker news site. Even for ideological reasons.
