Generally when drivers "feel" that a speed limit is too low, it's because the street/road has been over-built. It urban environments, it's inarguable that lower speeds result in fewer fatalities. There's a hockeystick increase in the rate of fatality with pedestrian crashes as vehicle speed increases from ~30mph to ~40mph. See https://nacto.org/docs/usdg/relationship_between_speed_risk_...

Well, it happened and on a pretty popular site too. So if they got it wrong how many other people do. This is a core reason folk should check out gVisor. Not sure why the downvotes as this is a pretty good example use-case?
some drivers think it's their right to drive the speed limit in the far inside lane and want others to obey the law
The expectation E[X|Y=y] is a fixed value. (Edit: it’s the expectation of the random variable “X|Y=y”, while E[X|Y] is a random variable because it’s a function of the random variable Y: for each element in the sample space there is a corresponding value of “y” and in turn there is a value of the expectation E[X|Y=y].)

X|Y=y (as used in the blog post being discussed) is a random variable: it’s a function from a subset of the original sample space (corresponding to the elements for which the value of the random variable Y is y) to real values (or whatever the image of the X random variable is).
The issue here is that a not too powerful local device could do that without recording everything you say in the cloud and keeping it forever with a label with your name on it.

At what point do we hold companies responsible for their products? At what point should we, as software developers, hold ourselves responsible for our products?

I think it's entirely reasonable to answer "when the company is a multinational, highly profitable company" and "when they are among the brightest software developers in our generation"; "another bug" "slipping through" should not be considered to be acceptable.

Additionally I find if the battery hits 5%, it doesn't actually register that it's charging in time to save it. Fair enough, but call it zero (so implicitly I'm warned earlier).

Processed foods started becoming a major thing in the 1950s, when memories of the Depression and the Dust Bowl still loomed large in the minds of American citizens. Processed foods are designed to keep for longer, ship over long distances, and be manufactured in bulk, allowing for people in famine-affected regions to still be able to purchase food from elsewhere affordably.

It's fine to restrict yourself to a diet consisting only of locally grown, organic, whole foods, and to never eat meat from a chicken whose résumé you can't review first. Just be aware that you are making your food security dependent on the conditions of your region.

This doesn't make sense. Naked shorting a stock drives down the price in the market by increasing the supply of the stock. It in no way supports the price of the stock. In fact, it's the exact opposite. It's a bet that the price goes down below the IPO price. Sell today at the IPO price of $45 in the hopes that you can buy it for less than that before you have to return the share.

More realistically, Morgan Stanley makes money as a middle man and just want to sell as many shares as they can.

Some companies get tax breaks for hiring X number of workers in certain locations. Which is why sometimes you get companies hiring a bunch of people at a data center who don't do anything related to the data center, but mostly exist as a way to get a tax break and good press.
You are absolutely right about the shockwaves. It is also weird that going fast and tailgating actually create slowdowns and make traffic go slower. By not leaving room to slow down, any minor lane change can cause a huge ripple of hard braking and now there is a backlog until everything accordions forward again. I wish newer cars had a constant beeping when you are 10 feet from the person in front of them at 65 mph. We'd actually see better traffic flow.

As for parkways, the better flow is because they don't allow trucks. Variance in the speed of cars is what causes traffic. Obviously this is true at on/off ramps. There is no way X95 can take two lanes of high-speed flow of cars into their already packed flow. For parkways with a lot more hills, you can still get slowdowns but these happen almost exclusively just before big hills and at exits to bigger highways (and occasionally at busy on ramps with short merge areas).
Because having a GC doesn't mean throwing away deterministic destruction.

Many GC enabled system languages do offer both mechanisms.

It is a matter of enjoying productivity it offers, while having the tools to fine tune performance when it actually matters.
There are tons of legacy allocations from the 90's and earlier than are not being routed / utilized. Many are also assigned to defunct entities. To confirm this, you can poke around WHOIS a little bit. Because many of them actually predate ARIN's formation in 1997, they are considered "legacy" allocations and aren't charged a fee by ARIN unless the organization has opted into an agreement.
> We ask "what time is sunrise?", and "when will the days start getting longer?". We like "noon" to be when the sun is highest in the sky. All those things are what UTC is designed for.

The first thing is for time zones, inclusive of DST/Summer Time/etc. The second thing is for calendrical reform, which we've basically stopped doing now that the Gregorian calendar is as widespread as it's going to be. Leap seconds are for this:

> Currently the Earth runs slow at roughly 2 milliseconds per day. After 500 days, the difference between the Earth rotation time and the atomic time would be 1 second. Instead of allowing this to happen, a leap second is inserted to bring the two times closer together.

The "error" induced by the Earth slowing amounts to 12 minutes over the course of one thousand years.
What is interesting to me is that you can’t really “revoke” an IP. ARIN’s authority really only comes from ISPs that listen to their recommendations in creating prefix filters.

ARIN doesn’t give you any rights to an IP, because there is no such thing.

It's hard to actually read the article, but the gist of it seems to be that firms are using regulatory arbitrage to sell hacking services to foreigners. It seems inevitable that some jurisdictions will allow this sort of thing.

I'm curious about whether anyone in the US is allowed to hire outfits like this, and what happens if they get caught. Is it ever legal for me to hire a hacking service that does things that are illegal for me to do? What, if anything, can US citizens do to become authorized to do similar things domestically? US security contractors sort of seem like have more leeway then I do, but maybe they just have LLCs and good lawyers?

An understanding of this part of the business environment should inform our security assumptions. Does anyone know more about the rules for this kind of stuff?

Also drivers who roll through a right-turn-on-red while looking the other way for cars. By the time they see the person walking, they've already slammed on the gas so they don't miss their opening.

>You can totally live somewhere rural and support yourself and a family.

You can say that about literally anywhere. It's a matter of how doable it is, and how much effort it'll be, versus the reward, compared to just going somewhere else. The simple fact is that there's far fewer jobs in rural areas, and also there's far, far fewer good-paying jobs.
Build renewable generation to stop releasing GHGs - this technology is affordable, ready and is likely in the medium term to be alot cheaper than running the old plants. Its no where near necessary to "cover this planet with solar panels and wind farms" that is "decade+ old" mis-information.

Large scale aforestation can take a great deal of CO2 out of atmosphere and simultaneously help endangered and degraded wildlife, and help people visit and work within biophilic surroundings. Large scale afforestation is advised by the IPCC.

Geoengineering may well be necessary, we will see as things turn out but strong technological knowledge exists for this also. Ocean seeding, atmospheric aerosols, - langrange point "sun shade" construction... these possibilities should be researched and may need to be implemented at scale, but as IPCC advises they are secondary to reducing emissions - which we DO have the technology ready and improving still.

I dont regard that 2014 article you linked as representing reality well, its a five year old editorialisation - a magazine conversation piece not a sober or reviewed analysis. Since 2014 cost of wind and solar have dropped, almost in half.

I will welcome a workable solution to the robocall problems. In the interim, they provide a source of entertainment.

The most common ones I get are from The Credit Card Company to tell me that because of my excellent credit history, I have qualified to get my credit card directly through them at a lower interst rate, instead of having it resold to me through Visa or Mastercard. For these calls, I'll generate a fake card number, SSN, name, address, etc, and start answering their questions. Inevitably, when the number comes back as bogus, they get angry, and yell at me to tell me how much of a cocksucking faggot I am and that they're going to come rape my daughter. I laugh at their attempts to form insults being less coherent than their English in general and move on with my day.

Of course, as soon as I tried to start recording these calls, they became much less frequent. I can't help but wonder if my number hasn't become blacklisted by these scam centers in India and the Philippines as a known unprofitable time waster or something. Why waste your time calling someone you know you can't get anything out of when there's lower-effort marks out there which will be more profitable?

All the same, I'd prefer not to have deal with these guys, so any actually workable solution would be welcome.

Edit:
Hah! While reviewing this post, I got yet another call from these guys. And I got the most persistent one of 'em I've had yet. They're getting good with semi-plausible responses to the most common deflections. But, their geography skills aren't much better than mine. Apparently Lebanon is in Canada.

There is a single 6 lane highway going through the town I live. From slowest to fastest the lanes are: Middle, Left, Right.

What happens is all the slow traffic (-5 to +2 of speed limit) doesn't want to deal with the absurd number of on-ramps (12 in 13 miles!) so they move to the middle lane. Then the moderately faster cars (+2 to +7 of the speed limit) pass on the left. Then you get all the people that want to go faster and they go to the right lane and then cut across to the left when cars are merging.

Unix time assumes that each day is exactly 86,400 seconds long (60 × 60 × 24 = 86,400), leap seconds be damned

I don't think I understand this claim. Unix time has no concept of a "day". Leap seconds increment UTC time, but doesn't add anything to the number of seconds that have elapsed since unix epoc.
I've worked at a company that had Dell ProCare[1]. If you have issues, they'll send a technician onsite for a same-day or next-day repair. I've seen everything from keyboards to screens to entire mainboards get swapped out on the spot by technicians.

For consumer grade stuff, I'm not a fan of Dell. But their business laptops and support services are solid, from what I've seen.

I haven't experienced any of the other vendors, but any vendor with a business line (such as HP or Lenovo) have similar support services. And just as critical: they design their business laptops with that need in mind. If you pay for a service level that includes on-site support, very few issues are un-repairable by a field technician. And they even make access to things like the hard drive easy, since corporations don't like to relinquish control of potentially sensitive business data.

Apple offers enterprise support[2] (not sure if that's an indication that the service is priced out of the SMB range) with similar onsite services. But their machines aren't exactly designed to be easily repaired. So if an Apple Store would have to send it off to a repair depot, I doubt a field technician would be able to do much more.

I'm not sure that it is overly simplistic, I think the statement that "containers do not contain" is an intentional oxymoron that points to some ground truths. These ground truths are that a process in a container is running in the same kernel, and although namespaces are meant to isolate some set of resources from other processes, and there are still very many shared resources that might not be isolated at all. This means a lot of attack surface, and exploiting the kernel will grant access to the other processes on the system.

In terms of quantity, 4 is not an accurate picture. I haven't sat down to analyze CVEs (https://www.cvedetails.com/product/47/Linux-Linux-Kernel.htm...), but say out of 50 practically exploitable kernel memory corruption bugs/year 4-5 new bugs every year are reachable from some common namespace configuration for a container. And this just marks what is publicly disclosed, which is a subset of the vulnerabilities attackers know about.

Bounties arent the only outlet for these, see: VEP.
Offering Manager for Crux here - all feedback is very welcome!

Another cool thing we haven't highlighted or documented anywhere yet is GraalVM support for the "standalone" deployment mode...which is mostly just for anyone who particularly dislikes the idea of using a plain old JVM :)
That's fair, but at the same time: If the end-state is "containers should contain, they're secure, any insecurities are bugs" then why do we see so many defense-in-depth strategies like gVisor pop up which provide legitimate value to consumers?

At what point are we just reinventing the VM hypervisor, but worse because every single one of these systems already has a VM hypervisor running somewhere? It seems likely to me that in the not-so-distant future the "Container" terminology won't actually mean anything because we'll figure out the engineering difficulty behind merging the best parts of VMs with the best parts of Containers, and managed systems like Fargate or even GKE don't really need both a VM hypervisor and a Container hypervisor when they're so similar.
There's some reason behind this.

But - and get this - this is an aesthetic in and of itself! It's part of the subtle 'self branding' of academics!

Banking culture, academic culture, SV startup culture, punk culture - they all have their idioms, behaviours, signalling etc. in fact far more so than we'd ever like to admit.
Huh? The US has been very aggressive about shutting down websites that spread Al-Qaeda and ISIS propaganda on most websites. ISIS basically caught everyone with their pants down spreading their stuff on social media, but once people started noticing it, it was purged rapidly.

It's not my view, but you could make the argument than the original sin was censoring Al-Qaeda content post-9/11. Obviously, nobody complained. Now the same tactics are being turned against the far-right and people have discovered a new love for free speech.
What do you mean? I was under the impression that ISIS was extremely censored online, particularly by the companies that signed this. Is that not the case? On the otherhand, I see white supremacist propganda basically daily at this point.
I say ease of debugging is not there. Spotting API breakages in case of type changes in them is one of very few advantages on debugging side.

Just as with as with any transpiler, you never have 100% confidence in your source maps, especially if you mix and match your tooling.

And you almost always loose some part of native debugger functionality in browser or node. I never ever saw a transpiler that does not break correct display of properties along the prototype chain or breakpoints inside constructor functions.

This is where vanilla es6 blows everything away. I know not so few dotcom tier companies with 1m+ per hour websites which stick with handwritten JS on the frontend solely because of that: productivity gains for them simply not worth losing few percents of visitors because of hard to catch and debug bugs.

Maybe, but the simple fact is that city living is far more efficient than rural living. Having a car is a luxury in much of the world, and has a huge toll on the environment, as well as simply being expensive compared to walking. Rural life in America requires a car, full stop. Should people be given enough UBI to afford to live this way? I don't think so. Enough money to live in a small apartment in a city with a roommate (after we figure out how to fix our rents being out of control, compared with other industrialized nations)? Sure. But that won't afford living in rural areas because of the distances and need for a car.

The C++ approach of adding new idioms by making the language fatter is of course not as nice as the Rust approach of having breaking changes and disallowing the old idioms.

But then again, the people behind Rust have made usage of the try! macro harder for a questionably useful keyword that could have been named differently as well. And now it's part of the 2018 edition and you need two more characters to use the try! macro even though there are still cases where it's much better than ? and nothing is being done about it.

Talking about resume fodder, my favorite is how everyone seems to have to write an article about bloom filters. Or at least every month or so someone posts an article about them on HN from their blog[1].
