It really depends. Think about it this way, would you rather have an undisclosed vulnerability go untreated and undetected (as far as everyone knows) for an extra year, or suddenly disclose it to the rest of the world before all major interested parties (big companies, chip vendors, etc) have workarounds and mitigations techniques, so actual malicious attackers can exploit it before the countermeasures are ready?

In an ideal world, you should disclose everything and let everyone know so they can take measures against it, but in reality there might be less damage to let the vulnerability continue stay undetected for a few more months while everyone else plans to patch it and release such fixes as it gets disclosed.

I do agree that almost a whole year is, however, a very long time though.

This seems true, and also I think there's some nuance lost in the stats as well.

My personal experience as a parent is that my kids don't get nearly the amount of independence that I did at their age. A reasonable part of this is that I am afraid that my kids will get taken away. My preference is towards the free(r)-range style of parenting, so the ex-post stats don't convey the full effect that the small sample size of reported "big gubmint takeaways" has.
The two often coincide. And facts can make an attack crueler. Imagine a middle schooler pointing out facts about another kid's face.

With your comment above, even if I assume you were right on all the facts, it is still a personal attack, insulting the other person's aversions and so on. This is not how thoughtful discussion goes, and we ban people that do this on HN.

We've had to ask you quite a lot about this kind of stuff. I don't want to ban you—I'd rather persuade you that following the site guidelines is in your interest. Why not take them to heart? Doing that makes the site better for everyone, including you—just the same as not littering in a city park or having campfires when a forest is at risk. This being the internet, HN is always at risk, and we all need to care for the commons.

> I will probably need 7 servers for my setup initially with 4 cores and at least 8 GB of ram and decent storage performance.

How did you determine that? Can you think of ways to make it require less?
There are much better ways to teach that.
They can't not let you in if you're a U.S. citizen. They can search or impound your property, and they can temporarily detain you, but ultimately they have the choice of letting you in or arresting you based on some probable cause. As a U.S. citizen, sending you back is not an option.
I think you're looking at this wrong.

Without things like licenses that force users to pay more money to Adobe regardless of whether the users are actually running the latest version, Adobe can't make enough money to finance changes to their user agreements.

Are you for, or against capitalism? It comes down to that!

Think of Adobe's lawyers' children!

The CWA union quoted in this article has been fighting its diminishing power for years.

About 10 years ago I spoke with them about DSLAM vs IP DSLAM tech. The contracts they had were only requiring union techs be used for equipment that didn’t use internet protocol. They didn’t like what I had to say about IP DSLAM.

I managed to get out of a business trip that way once!
> One might assume that the higher up the organization you go, the more connected you feel, but that isn’t necessarily the case. Research reported in Harvard Business Review found that half of CEOs report feeling lonely and 61% of those CEOs believed it hindered their performance.

I wonder why people would assume that?

I'd think being CEO would be the loneliest jobs.. You have no peers in your company; literally everyone is one of your reports.

People on the same team can complain to teammates about their management. Managers can complain to other managers about their reports or their managers.

Who does the CEO complain to? Probably their partners, other CEOs, friends, but either way it's most likely people outside of work.
This is a social problem in need of a technical solution. I'm waiting for a startup that can be accurately described as "Uber, but for real friends." Eventually they can phase out the contractors in favor of an ML/AI/ELIZA solution. /s

How about a VR game where you play games on these emulators as if you're using their original consoles with a TV/etc appropriate for the time? Get a game off a virtual game shelf and put it in the NES/Atari/etc, maybe even emulating the cartridge not registering at first. Theoretically you could even emulate things like the crooked cartridge trick in N64 games (if you're unfamiliar: https://glitchcity.info/wiki/Nintendo_64_crooked_cartridge )
You could have a look at Netcup.de, depending whether you can live without a hosted LB like DigitalOcean has.
Netcup does not have nested KVM - or at least it costs a tiny bit extra.

I had tried Scaleway roughly 2 years ago. restart times, provisioning times were bad. Maybe they are better now. I think you can finally bring your own kernel. Nested KVM works. Plus point for Scaleway is that you can use terraform. I don’t know the state of automation for Hetzner or Netcup
If you don't have work you don't pay the contractor. You still pay employees.

Depending on the work this can be good or bad.

When you have employees you also get flexibility in scheduling them. A contractor is expected to have other jobs and sometimes cannot get to your critical need right now.

A contractor can sometimes give you a better deal because of those other customers who are willing to pay extra for last minute service.
How about ssdnodes (https://www.ssdnodes.com/)? I've only used them for personal sites but so far, so good and it seems to be a good value. I also like webfaction (https://www.webfaction.com/). You get shell access but they manage the OS and provide a GUI for installing and configuring things.

That's the weasel words. If it didn't matter and they weren't trying to make the implication, why bring it up?

>Suppose he had said: "We will build a new HQ building, which will create jobs for 7,000 workers." Would you still assume that precludes the possibility of a merger that results in job losses elsewhere (or, as mentioned above, not replacing union employees that retire)?

If the person saying it is asking for a tax break that they say will fund this increase in jobs, then yes I would assume it precludes cutting jobs elsewhere. The whole point was it would be additive to society rather them shifting resources around but still pocketing the money.

You seem to believe that there is no implications to their words or actions beyond the explicit meanings of the words. If that's how they want to act, while also making sure to say things in a way that the average person will assume an implication, they should never get a deal again.

They were not making statements in good faith if we go by your interpretation of their statements

Don't some of these browsers display a best-approximation font, while the actual font file is downloading, while others display no text until the font file is available? That seems like an awfully big distinction which is omitted here.
> they won't replace the bad chip on the board

There is no bad chip on the board.

A full chip is not a bad chip, and there is no reason why the board should stop working on account of a full memory chip which contains a syslog that is not used for anything.

Hacker News is riddled with shills and apologists for atrocious corporate behaviour.

From what I have heard, these flaws mostly affect Intel because they are the largest CPU manufacturer. They also dominate the datacenter and cloud-compute industries for now, which are by far the highest value targets.

But as an Intel consumer, I am not happy. My understanding is that more stuff can be fixed in microcode, but I suppose a bug could show up which was not practically fixable. If that happened, I would certainly sue or join a class-action lawsuit. Probably the class-action route, because even if I didn't get any thing, I would be just mad enough at Intel to want them to suffer.

Of course, we do have consumer protection agencies; it is possible that they would step if Intel had sold what would effectively be a defective product.
We have to beware of unintended consequences. Deployment of facial recognition tech could very well make the crime situation worse. You see, teens are rebellious by nature and they think everything is about them. They'll likely react by masking their faces in public. First the delinquent ones. Then the wannabes. Soon enough it would seem there're hoodlums everywhere on the city streets.
As opposed to letting them commit crimes which in turn will never give them a chance to be less disadvantaged? This reasoning makes no sense. These are people that need help, letting them act unchecked will certainly not provide them with the assistance and re-qualification required to be reintroduced in the society.
Somewhat unrelated: we used to do a lot of business with supermicro. In a meeting one time I asked one of their guys why their billboards are so weird looking (anyone who’s driven down 880 past their building knows what I’m taking about). They have these billboards that have weird slogans and super amateur looking graphics that look like they were made in MS paint.

So I asked the guy about them cause I thought it was funny that such a big company had such cheap looking marketing. And he said: “yeah our CEO couldn’t believe how much money some agency was going to charge us to design a marketing campaign, so he just did it himself on his computer in like 2 days”

I thought that was hilarious. But good on the CEO for realizing no one really cares what a server billboard looks like, and decided to save the $2MM or whatever someone was going to charge him for design. Super funny.
Transportation costs most likely include labor costs.

I am betting the crew on the container ship do not make US wages.

Similarly, why there are no cruise ships that only stop at American ports, so the labor can be foreign. Also, why American river cruises are so expensive.
Getting your driver accepted upstream is a conversation with the maintainers of that kernel part.

You can't just throw a pile of code over the fence and assume it will be accepted.

When adding support for your device keep in mind that this is something everyone wants, maintainers/users/vendors alike.
On Slashdot, "anonymous coward" was the default username for anyone posting without being logged in.

Regular old Kalman Filters are the best (literally perfect) when your problem fits all their requirements. They also have a lot of nice properties if you're dealing with a problem that mostly fits their requirements. But the linear-gaussian requirement is pretty steep, they don't always work.

I don't like the EKF much and prefer the UKF. The core filtering code is a little more complex but they're much easier to actually work with; you can give them arbitrary functions like a particle filter.

Particle filters have the advantage of being able to handle arbitrarily wacky distributions. But they are random and do some wacky things in edge cases. They'll behave much more poorly in low-evidence situations than other filters will. And they fall over spectacularly if you switch from low-evidence to high-evidence (there's a workaround for this but it's still counterintuitive). Finally they're just more computationally expensive than the others.

Birch sounds interesting, I'll take a look.
"Educational companies" is a narrow enough industry where advertising to the appropriate market segments while excluding children is entirely possible. If you sell educational products, you wouldn't be advertising on a kid's cartoon show, you'd be doing it on channels where adults with wallets would convene.

Teacher's unions publications/newsletters would be a no-brainer, as would popular blogs or Youtube channels focused on child-rearing.
Why? My driver’s license does not indicate whom to call nor whether I am insured or not. It has an address but that is not where I live (mail cannot be delivered to my home even though it’s in Palo Alto, so no law is being broken).

Yes, the vulnerabilities are not just Intel, but they're mostly limited to Intel CPUs. Why is AMD less prone to these mistakes? Perhaps there are simply fewer researchers looking into AMD processors?
Push out accountability and compliance issues to the contractor.

In a state like NY, workers compensation costs for jobs with ladders are really high, for example. Contracting it out contains the cost.

They also turn capex into opex. If you pay the contractor to dig telephone poles as a service, you don’t spend capex on digging equipment.
Bloomberg lied to serve US political interests because the US is terrified that China is legitimately competitive and is playing dirty. They're doing the same thing with Huawei now.

Your library pays for that, it's not free for any library card, just libraries that pay for the resource. Hoopla is a similar service (with a worse catalog) that your library also may or may not pay for.
Hi!

Just a last comment, we're kind of off the rails here. I'll read your reply but I won't answer, I hope you're OK with that!

> What you're presenting is a Turing tarpit kind of argument - totally irrelevant to anybody with a sense for practicality.

Not really, it requires very little to do so. Here's how to make fixnum arithmetic go wroom-wroom: https://plaster.tymoon.eu/view/1380#1380

Does that look like a Turing tar-pit to you? Scroll down to the assembly.

I mean, I do think that C-level safety is unacceptable though.

> [...] and half wrong. Yes, UNIX is the worst useable OS, except all the alternatives.

You happen to be misinformed regarding this. It's true today regarding Linux perhaps, but not back then.

>I suggest actually reading my comments, because I've written all that I have to say. In one sentence,

Didn't you just say that empirical evidence points towards C being fast? That's not enough.
As long as your service can be spun in some way as a startup you should definitely apply to this grant from google.

Prioritization works within a single HTTP/2 connection. Ads are generally served by a 3rd party, and while there are some limited ways of sharing HTTP/2 connections across origins, I don't think any ad servers offer such a close integration.

Besides, sites already have blunt tools they can use if they really wanted to force ads to load first. This feature is more for site developers who care about performance. Instead of tweaking the markup and adding hints to help browsers request resources in the right order, they can now set the priorities directly and precisely.
Seems pretty similar to the Twitter model, which still produces plenty of toxic behavior
The only option I know would be Scaleway, 4 Core 8GB RAM is €15.99/mo, or roughly $18.

Edit: Have you consider dedicated from OVH or Others? Remember your Cloud vCPU is really just a thread. Those dedicated sever would be 4C/8T with more memory and higher CPU performance.
Six Rules for Dining Out
Why do you want a 'new social network'? As in a place where you're primarily signaling to strangers or acquaintances, as opposed to, say, just a way to have actual relationships with people who you actually want to have a relationship (plus events, of course)? It feels like what's missing from Facebook isn't simply data privacy, it's a fundamental premise about relationships and discourse, but I'm curious if I'm missing something.
No, scaleway is owned by the same parent as online.net, which is a competitor to OVH. Both are french though.

Couldn’t you start with less, and then scale when you need to?
Perhaps large, light weight deflecting mirrors in orbit could help with climate change.
I will say this much.... Stay away from serverhub.com -- I picked them because they offered more disk space than DO for about the same price. My VM went offline in late December, opened a ticket with them, basically got the run around for 3 months, with them claiming 2 months in that their "30TB Storage Array" was still, I shit you not.... "fsck'ing". Luckily this wasn't anything important, but still. They even had the balls to bill me for it monthly until I finally told them to pound sand and refund all charges made this year (which they did)
If the thread was closely related enough for that, I wouldn’t comment at all. “Telecom” is an entire sector of the economy, like “ad tech.” You don’t see Google-ers caveat their posts when commenting on an article about Facebook and Cambridge Analytica.
Yeah, maybe prototype with tiny VMs first? Can you make several things share one VM initially? If you're not sufficiently confident in the idea to secure investment, it might be smart to build a smaller/leaner proof-of-concept.
I would be surprised if so for vector arithmetic given the opportunities for modern FORTRAN to tell the compiler what to do. OTOH the whole point of metasyntactic macrology and the function object abstractions is to permit such things. But modern FORTRAN compilers are very good at what FORTRAN is good for.

The MACLISP compiler was as good and in some cases better than its contemporary FORTRAN competition. But FORTRAN tech has moved on since then.

Chernobyl's unit 4 was destroyed by an explosion.

Fukushima had multiple explosions that destroyed the upper levels of reactor buildings, and ruptured the containment of unit 2.

During the three mile island accident there were several days where engineers were sweating bullets because there was a hydrogen gas bubble at the top of the pressure vessel, and they were afraid it would explode. It was only after about a week of effort that they were able to eliminate the H2 bubble.

Every nuclear reactor has the possibility of immense damage due to explosion - steam explosions, explosive gas, and secondary systems such as diesel and electrical system. It is one of the primary hazards that control systems and emergency cooling and venting are there to deal with. Lying to everyone that it's not possible isn't helpful to the nuclear community.
I was considering it too and I don't understand why Google doesn't force the creators to mark up when the ads start and end so it could just jump over them for people who pay YouTube Premium to specifically get rid of ads. People like us will stop paying go with a adblocker.
I started working 30 hours / 4 days a week in my last job. When I started looking for a new job, I told everyone up front that my working time will be 30 hours.

IMHO it was much easier that way than if I had first started full time. Sure, naming your terms will turn off companies that don't like people that have terms, or that absolutely want their workers to be there every day. But that might actually be a good culture filter.
