Perhaps, if you provide links to those who have been scammed, you could get Cloudflare to drop them. With enough time and effort, you might be able to stop these scammers who are abusing your company's reputation. Sadly, it's likely these criminals reside in a country that will never prosecute them. Until browsers/anti-phishing improves enough to flag/hide scams like this, there will always be plenty of suckers on the internet, and thus, no way to force these sorts of bad guys to find something else to do with their time.

> I do agree that the lack of need for a managed runtime is a huge advantage on embedded or small systems.

Not only in embedded systems. It is a huge advantage when interfacing with the operating system from within a userland process.

Lack of a runtime means that a call to a kernel function like, say, `sched_setscheduler(2)` would not interfere with any such thread scheduling policies of the host runtime. Or that the runtime is grabbing file descriptors out of your control, making it hard to reason about resource usage.

Higher education has changed as students are now consumers who are investing large amounts of money in the form of debt. No one would want to be uncomfortable for that exchange, students these days ask for more value for money. They want a good exchange with little risk.
That Wired article currently has an "Update 12/14/2015" vague small note added at the very end, suggesting some doubt. That note would be better at the beginning of the article, than the end, IMHO.

If a real retraction is warranted (I don't know whether it is), then Wired should do it, with or without the original writers.
The sins of the father?

I wonder if there's more going on behind the scenes than meets the eye here. It seems very strange to me that Lithuania, who has put a massive amount of effort into becoming a friendly location for fintechs would risk alienating such a big company on such a flimsy pretext as the founder being Russian with a Russian father at Gazprom (I'm ignoring the server piece because I don't know what to make of that - Russia is a big market and if they wanted to expand I believe they need to have servers locally and it may be a cost cutting move).

I understand that, why wouldn’t the team that handles approving IAM also be approving deploying the app? I’m not saying developers should be willy nilly deploying IAM permissions. I’m saying that having one IAM role that is used by all lambdas is the opposite of a strict environment. The IAM role should be deployed and approved with the resources that need it.
I don't think it's that simple.

Intimidation and coercion are powerful motivators. The Innocence Project found 25% of people proven innocent, by DNA evidence, actually provided confessions or self-incriminating statements.

I worry about what other behind-the-door tactics are used. Some might even be official abuses of power, such as gag orders, which are already being used for what the WSJ called "political persecutions in Wisconsin,"(1) it wouldn't surprise me.

You can do tracking perfectly fine without Javascript using just plain old cookies and links. Javascript can't really do anything nefarious "on the users computer" (outside the browser). You can monitor detailed clicks and perhaps steal some data from the origin (which is developer error), that's about it.

The security implications of Javascript are always exaggerated, few people talk about how buggy CSS and HTML parsers or image/video decoding can be. Lots of zeroday exploits there and they keep coming.

I've been on the fence about Tesla's approach (no Lidar) being the right way. But did you see the recent presentation at all?

At this point I think it's clear that they have a high chance of succeeding.

And I think the core argument is correct: If you don't have a neural net that can estimate depth from cameras as well as a human, you don't have a viable FSD system. The classifications that the system has to do to actually implement all the requirements of true FSD, is way harder than what's needed to make Lidar redundant with cameras and radar. Lidar is a shortcut to get a proof-of-concept running when your vision system is too weak to actually do full FSD.

> as much as it was an important PR point, it was never really viable.

Of course it's viable. It's just a question of time. It's pretty silly to think that sommehow, right this year, batteries will stop falling in price and Tesla will find no other ways to continue to reduce costs.
Sure. Because no one believes that Tesla is going to reach level 5 autonomy and sell people cars that will make the owners $30K profit/yr.

What is odd to me: no one thinks that promising and failing to deliver lvl 5 will hurt Tesla very much.
This doesn’t make much sense because life expectancy cohorts are grouped by the year they are born, not the year they died.

The concept of a “strong” vs “weak” immune system also doesn’t correspond to reality: for the flu, it’s hypothesized that it’s too strong an immune reaction that kills you. Many of today’s leading causes of death also don’t have much to do with the immune system, from the opioid epidemic to heart attacks, strokes, and cancer. Autoimmune disease is far ahead as a public health issue compared to infectious disease, from MS to (probably) vascular disease (edit: see this other story currently on the front page https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19742188)

This is a gross oversimplification, especially washing in a family (> 1 person).

1. Sorting - when you buy clothing, do you take handling instructions into account? Accounting for handling is very hard! Good luck shopping online, hunting through instruction tags hidden on sides of clothes, all while keeping price reasonable. I do not like shopping, so I choose the first thing that looks ok and is comfortable - I am often left with unpleasant surprises when laundering. Some dryclean only, some handwash-only, some fine with washing but no dryer, some with dryer ok but tumble-dry only.

2. Do you have an in-unit washer? I do not - I traverse 7 flights of stairs to communal apartment laundry room.

3. Do you need to use quarters for the machine? If yes, this takes an extra trip to bank beforehand.

4. 7 flights of stairs again to transfer some of the clothes to a dryer, others ...

5. ... Need to be line-dried and hung, somewhere.

6. Finally, the clothes that could be normally washed must be folded and put away, not stuffed into a drawer (even simple t-shirts get wrinkled this way).

"washing" is not just pressing a button.

Expecting every application to bundle all shared libraries it depends on is absurd, it invalidates all the benefits shared libraries provide - like them being shared with other programs, having shared updates and of course new features. As an example, if Gtk3 was backwards compatible with Gtk1, the game not only would work but the UI would be a native client for Wayland despite the game being released a decade before Wayland was a thought at anyone's mind. And to stick with games, you can see another good example why bundling shared libraries is a bad idea: old games that use SDL often need their SDL copy replaced with a new one to work since the old one is using methods that in the meanwhile were invalidated (e.g. using OSS instead of ALSA).

Outside of games, for software that touches the Internet you probably also want libraries to get shared security updates.

And of course having to bundle 50+MB of libraries and data (themes, etc needed by a GUI toolkit and any other data by other libraries) for a small executable is a ridiculous idea by itself.

No, a desktop system should provide some minimum functionality that desktop applications can rely on and keep that functionality stable so that application can keep on working.

This is odd.

The backlog is supposed to be a product backlog, i.e. in general a project backlog.

The board helps you see at a glance the project's status.

So to me it seems that merging everything into a single boards is confusing at best.

I would have a board per project. This does not prevent devs from switching between projects on a per ticket basis but keeps things well organised and managed.
That’s a common “fun fact” but it’s been so overdone people are probably now erring more to the other side. Here’s a graph: http://www.roperld.com/science/graphics/LifeExpectancyForDif...

As an example, in the 20th Century, life expectancy at birth rose from about 40 to 77 years. But for 20 year olds, it also went from 34 to 59 additional years.
That may be because of the vicious cycle of lack of popularity, which leads to worse tool support, which leads to people preferring Markdown-based tools, which leads to increased spread of markdown and less popularity for AsciiDoc.

One lesser known fact of AsciiDoc is that it's a markup syntax for DocBook, so it supports the full feature set of this book-creating toolchain. Markdown can only dream of having support for more than simple web pages and single-page documents.

To date, the best solution to this problem that I have seen is to write all your core code in a shared library using something like C++, and then hooking it up to a thin layer of completely native, platform-specific code for the UI. It’s fast, lightweight, looks good, and requires minimal extra code if you do it right.
If you want the message to be only received once regardless of whether it was successful processed, you set the MaxReceive count to 1 and set up a dead letter queue as part of the redrive policy and you use fifo queues instead of the standard queue.

It isn’t “marketing nonsense”. It’s more just quoting from one site on the Internet, instead of understanding the system as a whole.

No for two reasons.

1. Share price has nothing to do with bankruptcy. Bankruptcy happens when a company can't meet its obligations and debts. If a company is profitable, then by definition, it met its obligations and debts so it cannot go into bankruptcy. You go to bankruptcy protection to ward off creditors. If you are profitable, you paid off your creditors and made money on top of that so there is nothing to protect you from.

2. Shorting involves borrowing shares. There are a finite number of shares that you can borrow. So you could have an infinite supply of money but your broker only allows X amount of shares available to short.

Shorting doesn't cause bankruptcy. It's a method of profiting when companies veer towards bankruptcy of their own accord.

Think of it as surfing. The surfer doesn't cause the wave, he just rides the wave.

I decided to watch the x files this evening after not watching it since it was on regular television. And my god, the entire show is adorable. Scullys entire character is "the goverment would never do that. It would be illegal."

The American dream we all had at one point is staggering. And sad how much we have lost. Rose colored glasses aside, if the same show aired today, it would not last a season, since it would be considered to naive to take seriously.
I agree, but it's not such a narrow demographic. 63,000 bought them in Q1. The mode similar luxury/premium car I can find is the BMW 3 series. BMW sold 8,225 of them in Q1.

So almost 8x as many people bought a model 3 for similar or higher prices than the BMW 3 series. In fact at various time periods Tesla was outselling the sum of all similar premium cars in the USA from BMW, MB, Audi, and Lexus.

So sure Tesla owners are a self selecting set, but there's apparently quite a few people that want the model 3.
And I think it might be a bit of a double edged sword, but I can't prove it.

There are lots of auto-immune disorders, where the immune system is intensely over active, and many a hypothesis is put forward as to why.

Having an immune system that reacts to anything and everything is awful. Ask anyone with allergies. And we're left scratching our head at why.

Why so many deadly peanut allergies? Latex? Soy? Bees? It used to just be hayfever, but now we need epipens.
> ... allows sites to do just about anything on my computer

You don't seem to understand how Javascript actually works. It can do just about nothing on your computer. It can't read any data off disk (that the site itself didn't create). It can't read data from other websites, unless the website operator enabled that (in which case it could read that data with just URLs, no scripting required). It can't write data anywhere except into specific storage files. Besides HTTP requests, it can't access any other process, service or resource without asking you for permissions.

Telemetry is something that can be done without Javascript. I can just make any link you activate have some sort of unique ID. Maybe Javascript can make it a bit more detailed, but fundamentally nothing changes.
I haven't come across any information that would indicate that we can generalize a person's immune system to be better than another's, outside of specified immune system disorders that have been defined. The immune system and the body in general are such a complex mechanism that it's impossible to claim one or a few persons surviving in one or a few instances and environments indicates they will have greater odds of future survival.
> I think it's not wrong to treat an adult exactly like you would a child if he's acting like one.

So, are you saying that the malicious adult poo-tracker is being childish and should be treated with the leniency we afford to children?

> I interpret parent poster as trying to make a point about how we cannot tell anything about intent so we should judge on the action, solely.

Why on Earth do you think we can't deduce someone's intent? In the case I posited, you can know the intent of both the child (no malicious intent) and the malicious poo-tracker (malicious intent). In many other cases, you can also deduce intent from someone's behavior.

Another great Freakonomics example:

'In other words, had the Trump administration simply left washing machines alone and raised taxes on American consumers by $1.5 billion, it could have poured that money into a federally funded initiative creating nearly 50,000 jobs, or about 27 times the number created by the washing-machine tariffs.'
CPI does not contain investment vehicles (stocks, equity, bonds).

The problems we are seeing are very much socially driven (emptying of middle income jobs -> lower pressure in low income jobs -> increasing poverty -> no money for education and healthcare spending -> low income stressed disabled people turn to high-risk high-yield activities drugs & crime). Coupled with the current populist politics, it's no wonder the "economic outlook" is a bit gloomy.
That could be fun indeed!

I personally love taking highlight to use them as quick references and to synthesise content for learning, so a good execution of this concept is really valuable for me.

Almost every single step of those are optional depending on the people in the household.

For us everyone is responsible to bring their clothes to the wash baskets and sort based on temperature.

Very few modern clothing require cool wash, and in my household we don't own any.

Very few white clothes and discoloration from washing whites with colors is so minimal with modern clothing/washing machines so we don't bother. The only exception is when cleaning white table cloths in order to remove stains.

Non-dryer clothes are avoided if possible.

We don't work at places which require ironed clothes.

Washing is thus for us: loading the machine (located in the apartment) with clothing from one of the two baskets when they are full, filling the detergent ball, selecting 40 or 60 depending on which basket is used, putting it in the dryer when the washer alarm goes off, taking it from the dryer when the dryer alarm goes off, and finally everyone collects their clean clothes. We could argue how common this is, and if there is a cultural difference here between US and Sweden, but I don't have any data beyond my own experience.
Because it gratifies people's intellectual curiosity.
