I <3 Keybase. I have been beta testing this for a year or so. It came out during the last crypto boom, it is a great feature.
AFAIK they aren't even coated in carbon black the HDPE is mixed with carbon black (same as many other black plastics/rubbers) and then formed into the spheres.
It's one of those things you struggle with until you have to do it a lot. Young people grew up in the age of email and social media so they weren't forced to get good at talking on the phone. Spend a summer selling junk on Craigslist and the problem is solved forever.
CVS-2019-1804: Cisco Nexus 9000 Switches Allow SSH As Root via IPv6 only.

Which makes it even more likely to be explained by stupidity as to malice.
The world ran a long time with iodine supplements, antibiotics, water fluoridation, doesn't mean we should go back to the dark ages.
Exactly. I haven't used them until now, I will make sure to actively avoid them now.

To paraphrase Keynes, it's not good security policy to base it on the workings of a casino.
Is it common that companies share intelligence like this? I think it's a wonderful idea, given they all operate on essentially the same service (git) they share similar security concerns.
George Kurtz is not a Democrat. Crowdstrike is also a giant in this field. I assume the connection is, the DNC wanted to go with a safe, big name.
Yes, but that genie is out of the bottle too. Pretending otherwise isn't going to help.
Specially in light of recent correlations found between inflammation and all sorts of diseases including neurodegenerative ones, previously discussed on HN: https://harvardmagazine.com/2019/05/inflammation-disease-die...
Well, it seems this here is the root of your problem.

And given the amount of difficulty and delay it causes, would be worth serious investigation into a solution.
I wish you had posted this at a time of day (in my time zone) when it is appropriate to drink coffee.

I have never weighed the coffee in my espresso because its strength is, to the brewer, a factor of grind size and packing force. The volume of coffee and water is consistent. That means that someone who is on the weaker side might user a finer grind to compensate for a lower packing force whereas someone who is stronger and does not take care to use appropriate force might use a courser grind to compensate for their excessive force. If those two people each pull a shot and the infusion pressure gauge reads the same for each, the weight of the coffee in the filter basket should be the same, right?

Simply avoid using google services. They are pathetic. Let's see what the European Union says about this aggressive advertisement. Especially the Google Maps thing will obviously trigger our consumer care responsibles.
How do you make that business mindset intuitive for people that are used to being technical workers?

I actually would not want to limit myself to one industry. Working at a digital agency has its short comings but one thing I enjoyed is the variety of clients we get.

For example, I have a mixed skill set of web development and graphics programming. That's allowed me to interview at companies from a variety of business problems that leverage the graphics skill set, such as CAD/CAM, indie video games, or space mission simulation.

I want to say "I solve these problems" without limiting myself to one industry but relying on my tech skill as the niche. Is that just as good?
Thank you. Makes much more sense now.
Right now is the time for us to teach them self-control and self-restraint, and we do that in little ways that get bigger over time. As all virtues, if you sharpen it against one thing, it'll be sharper for the next thing. Those devices will probably be one of those ways they can practice as they get old enough, but with supervision of course.

The idea is, if you give a kid a solid foundation for a happy life by the time they're a young adult, so that they have a formula and a recipe for a life that they feel completely satisfied with, they won't feel unfulfilled and like life is missing something when they become adults, which is the biggest motivator for people adopting bad habits, especially the bad habits of their peers. So that's my job. Give them a good, full life now, and teach them how to navigate life while making it good and full in wholesome and rewarding ways. Then trust them to make these decisions as adults. And guide them through it the whole time. My job won't end when they're 18 or 81. I'm always their father and role model and guide, til the day I die.
Well it could have been a bit more usefull with a short explaination of what each does, or at least a link to the module.
It may turn out that finding those additional 'hint' bits ("another hash") that dramatically reduce the search space of your computer for a given input is NP hard.
But smoking rates have been dropping, and the tobacco companies certainly put up a huge fight here in Aus when we tried to enforce plain packaging on cigarettes, so they're spending an awful lot of resources on fighting something that 'doesn't work'...(hint: it does)
Cynically, yes, but this is how humans follow directions anyway. Are your friends giving you an unpaid ad when they say "head down main st, past the Burger King"?
>...It is fair when you're talking about human hubris and what it can lead to. Chernobyl (and other reactors like it) should've, could've, would've done x,y,z, but that disaster did occur,

A totalitarian regime built an unsafe reactor that would have been illegal to build anywhere else because it was a very dangerous design - yes I agree they were arrogant idiots. It's certainly not the only example of the Soviet Union not caring the environmental consequences of its actions. It doesn't say much about reactors in other countries.

>...that area is totally uninhabitable, and the people living near there still are affected.

There are areas with very high radioactive background levels, but a couple hundred people live there full time and thousands of people work in the area.

>...Just because it's better than other solutions doesn't mean it's -inherently safe-.

Who said generating gigawatts of electricity is or will ever be "inherently safe"? Nothing is inherently safe - there are risks when doing anything. All you can do is compare the risks/rewards and try to choose the best alternative. Any other approach is not rational.

When politicians pander to anti-science fears, it can have real consequences. For example, Germany abandoned nuclear power while keeping coal plants running even though the death tolls from burning coal are astronomical compared to nuclear. Coal plants will kill more people this year than nuclear has done over the last 100 years - and that includes the Chernobyl accident and the atomic bombs dropped on Japan!
A whole vat of them in one year? Yeah, probably. Means they likely foresee difficulties securing public investment beyond the near term if they don't IPO ASAP.

Also means I'm not buying into any of them until the market slams, which I think is a common theme among many buyers considering the ever-intensifying downtrend in IPO day-1 closing price dips.
The bogosity of clan tartans has been documented since at least 1940; see the footnotes in the chapter on Highland culture in Hobsbawm and Ranger’s The Invention of Tradition (1983).
I'm genuinely curious why anyone would think differently. Life is not work - get out and live a little.
It is extraordinarily silly to suggest that "swag" and "booze" are serious contributors to Crowdstrike's SG&A expenses, considering that SG&A covers their entire sales and marketing teams. SG&A exceeding R&D is not exactly an anomaly among enterprise tech companies.

Oh, also? Crowdstrike sells endpoint software subscriptions, not "blinky boxes".
Is there any reason not to just use SHA-3? It sounds like it's a real swiss army knife to hear the authors talk about it.
reposting my comment below:

"please remember that there are coalitions of activists advocating multiple issues for civil rights simultaneously, and that a victory in one area (e.g. fighting the surveillance state) is neither mutually exclusive nor to the detriment of another equal or greater social ill (e.g. homelessness)."

oh and "Instead they are choosing to be pro-active legislating against tech..."

While the legislation is pre-emptive (being rolled out before an invasive technology becomes widespread, which, duh), it is in no way pro-active.

This legislation passing is a reaction to years-long, tireless efforts of coalitions of privacy activists, religious/ethnic minority activists, and activists advocating for the undocumented.
If it were the case that someone worked a job where they'd need to go on an international business trip last minute then their employer would require having a current passport as a condition of employment.
Well, not really if you are just doing what the system wants.
If mundanity is your concern, add an exclamation point to it.
I think Boeing accurately reflects the arrogant world view of its main client.
If it was a genuine "backdoor" why would you want use a publicly available key?
Completely free, no. But there are substantial differences. The limitations in US are far less than any other developed country, particularly when you account for the process (e.g. standard of scrutiny necessary to overcome 1A protection in court). This is especially true when it comes to political speech, which is considered to be the prime target for 1A protection.

In Germany, whole categories of political speech are explicitly censored, and I'm not even talking about stuff like Holocaust denial. For example, a party can be banned for having a platform that contradicts "liberal democratic basic order". And even informal networks of people can be categorized as "associations" and banned in this manner.
He's certainly making an air tight case for keeping those planes on the ground.
I agree that crypto could be valuable.

But, (1) the lightning network has been repeatedly attacked as unworkable trash and (2) there needs to be a reason to make crypto transactions other than drugs or vaguely crypto-anarchist philosophy.

(b) Tether's recent scandal has made all stable coins fairly suspect.

(d) The makerdao system has some pretty serious problems. High liquidation rates and skyrocketing fees both come up.

If anything, crypto has taught us (through the plethora of 2018/19 crypto scams) that revokability is a feature of transactions that is _valuable_.

I'd say my biggest takeaways from crypto, currently, are that there is not such thing as 'without having to trust the other party' and that all of the middlemen in the current financial system do provide more value than just taking a cut (while that value is probably not proportional to the cut that they take).

All that said, I'm still optimistic on crypto. However, I think it's unrealistic to expect it to replace a significant part of the web in its current form.
Amazing how Boeing was restructured from an engineering & production organization into a political influence machine. Production was spread (and outsourced) from Seattle out to key influential states and HQ moved to Chicago.
Uber drivers are fighting the wrong fight in this case. They should focus on fighting for a minimum wage that accounts for expenses. Uber's edge is not their technology, their edge is the ability to burn billion dollars a quarter subsidizing rides. Uber is masking customer demand and this sort of behavior is anticompetitive and should not be allowed in an industry as critical as transportation.

Case in point, when Uber/Lyft was forced to pay their drivers a minimum wage that accounted for expenses, Uber and Lyft stopped accepting new drivers in New York City. They were force to act according to true supply and demand.

Chinese Window Lattice and CSS
Political connectedness exists on many spectrums other than the usual Red vs Blue. An interesting one you can see from the outside (that might not have anything to do here, it's just an example) is CIA vs NSA. You can see Nancy Pelosi's statements back that look like "we've always been at war with East Asia" and "we've never been at war with East Asia" wrt to the intelligence apparatus depending on which agency screwed up.

And Dmitri Alperovitch seems to see the shadows of the Russian political establishment everywhere he looks, though, which makes Crowdstrike an... interesting choice for that work.

Edit: added the top paragraph.
That looks like it only has a search interface. How do you add a new report?
I won't work for a company I don't care about. If it's not doing something good and especially if it is doing something bad, I just cannot work there. I feel ill. Psychologically overwhelmed by cognitive dissonance. That can only go on for a week or two before I just stop working for them.
OoO without speculation is completely pointless: the tipical reorder window is orders of magnitude larger than the average number of instructions between conditional jumps. I don't think there have ever been an OoO CPU without speculation.

OTOH speculation without OoO Is not only possible but in fact very common. For example the majority of non ancient in-order CPUs.

In fact the original pentium, contrary to your statement, was an in-order design (the pentium pro was the first Intel OoO design). Also I believe that 486 already had branch prediction. Pentium claim to fame was being superscalar (i.e it could execute, in some cases two instructions per cycle), a better FPU and better pipelined ALU (I think it had a fully pipelined multiply for example).
Or, just use the less expensive option to deploy nanny state level camera coverage and use the facial recognition to identify the dog's owner so the bills can be sent out by some AI system purchased from Amazon. Your fines will be delivered in 48 hours for free or possibly the same day if they have a facial recognition data center in your local area.
>...This is similar in the sense that design, oversight, and general knowledge of nuclear is much more advanced today than when Chernobyl was built.

That is true, but even when Chernobyl was built, no western country would have licensed a commercial reactor without a containment dome. That combined with the RBMK reactor positive void coefficient meant Chernobyl was basically a disaster waiting to happen.
I really hope that doesn't happen. They have such a good product, and looks like they are trying to compete with Steam with their games library. I feel like they should consider also making a side product for messaging though. People are ditching Facebook Messenger and even Slack for Discord.
Exactly. PATs are designed to circumvent human intervention (MFA) for authentication in order to support automation. I am very curious if there's a better way than PATs.
Is it unusual that on $313M ARR, the CEO’s yearly compensation, including options, is… $44.9M? CEO pay is 15% of total revenue?
First step into the correct direction, but I highly doubt this will go any further. In fact, I am pretty sure people there see this as a setback. San Francisco's mentality towards technology is "new is always better". One of the downsides of Silicon Valley.

It allows anyone who knows the default SSH key pair to login as root. How is that not a backdoor?

Backdoor definition: "A backdoor is a method, often secret, of bypassing normal authentication in a computer system."
The problem is that there is significant write amplification as the used space on the partition approaches the total space of the partition.

To say that the choice to use eMMC is the fault is to say that ANY use of flash storage is a faulty decision.

If there is sufficient space on the drive to mitigate write amplification, then the media will last a very long time indeed. Longer than the drivetrain, certainly.

The problem is that Tesla doesn't delete logs it has collected from the cars. All Tesla vehicles (as I understand it) upload their logs more or less continually. Currently, the firmware on the cars doesn't delete those logs once they've been uploaded, presumably so that they're available when it is time to service the vehicle.

The disk filling up due to bad log file hygiene, coupled with the fact that the storage is flash-based, together cause the issue.
As I understand it, the Intel only vulnerabilities, Foreshadow/L1TF, and this set which I've not looked at the details of yet, are targeting specific Intel features, and there's no reason to believe a similar focus on the other companies' products wouldn't also find unique problems.

For example, the first version of Foreshadow went after the SGX enclave. Given how widespread Meltdown and Spectre bugs are, there's absolutely no reason to believe that the other vendors don't have similar unique problems.

Crowdstrike's analysis of the DNC servers arguably started national discussion of the "Russiagate" controversy. A tin-foil-hat wearer could interpret their actions as serving whoever has a vested interest in Russiagate.
Lol this is the single stupidest thing I’ve ever read on hn.
“SF [government] hates tech.”
Wow. It’s a measure to which NO money has been allocated. Meanwhile, literally hundreds of millions are going towards genuinely addressing real crises like homelessness and energy.

Golf clap bro.
There is no police state in SF. It is quite the opposite. Crime is rampant and criminals know the police don't bother going after non-life threatening crimes (e.g., car break-ins are rampant all over the Bay Area now).

I for one prefer the rise of the police state.
Have you been to China lately? Amazingly safe. Never once seen a broken car window anywhere there. There is no such thing as smash-and-grab there anymore and carjackings are unheard of. Used to be a lot of petty crime, not anymore. Cameras are everywhere in big cities. It is safe for any attractive young female to walk out on the streets at midnight there.

They use face-recognition technology heavily and catch criminals with the help of it.

I dream of the day law enforcement in the U.S. can link up to Facebook and find the real identities of criminals caught on video. Sadly I don't think that day will ever come. Or maybe in other states but definitely not in California. Crime fighting in California is still stuck in the 80s.

CHP actively scanning the highways for stolen plates using OCR readers? Technically possible but not happening (not sure why).

Police departments linking up to facebook to find thieves caught on 1080p video? Possible but not happening (not legally allowed?).
Developers only work on separate components instead of the entire project
Not just US influence but international influence.

In the 777 and 787 eras, Boeing decentralized production all over the world, and it's hard to say that Airbus is really a European company because they've done the same.

Back in the day so many countries had to have a fourth- or fifth-rate car industry, and to head that off, the Boeing-Airbus duopoly distributed production all over the place so politicians in most countries could point to some part in a Boeing or Airbus airliner that was made in their country to discourage the development of an indigenous industry.
Hah, I wouldn't be shocked if we were in the same denomination. They have a bit of a cult problem (Waco comes to mind).

I have social groups around hobbies and activities, but the bonds are different, and without a shared belief (or, I often suspect, professed belief regardless of one's actual deep-down convictions) the nature of the relationships is different. I'd have sooner asked someone from church to watch my child in an emergency than someone from the homebrew club. Not that there's anything wrong with homebrew club members! It's just a different set of norms, expectations, etc. that come from being in each group. Of course, this can be stifling too. HBC members are a lot less likely to care if I'm gay, etc. (though honestly the church people, or at least those under 40, didn't seem to care either)
Pathetic. Spying is defined illegal already. Signing an extra "contract" to record that one is not spying is obsolete...
But when I have to add a new site I have to pay when I have more than one which basically makes it not-free to have more than one domain on a free account just for the registrar feature?
I'm beginning to wonder if HN is an unwilling part of a disinformation campaign an on 737max? It seems every day now we have a speculative article posted like this.
All available evidence from credible sources seems to back up Crowdstrike's attribution. I'm sure you can find a countervailing argument or two from some credible source, but, to say the least, it does not look like Crowdstrike took a flyer on this.

I don't think the Russia investigation has thing #1 to do with Crowdstrike's IPO or what their business is like, though. That's much simpler: EDR is the new antivirus, antivirus has historically been one of the most lucrative enterprise technology products (to say nothing of security products), and Crowdstrike has a commanding share of the EDR market.

And here's the mitigation in NetBSD: https://github.com/NetBSD/src/commit/afab82aeafd0c51afc036a8...

Essentially: Intel released a microcode update which makes the `verw` instruction now magically flush MDS-affected buffers. On vulerable CPUs, this instruction now needs to be run on kernel exit; the microcode update won’t do it automatically on `sysexit`, unfortunately.
I don't know if the reluctance of people to serve on juries is really an example of reluctance to serve, or an example of reduced wages & benefits given to workers, and a reluctance to serve with a financial hardship. All sorts of social gatherings, including civic life is affected by the tightening of finances and leisure.

People sometimes read "backdoor" as something intentionally left by an insider for later use by themselves or others.
> There will always be people who abuse the support the union offered, like your dad, who gives unions a bad rep

That's a bit harsh and I think it misjudges human nature.

> Without a union, your dad would have been expected to take 30min every single time, and lose your job if you don't.

I had a summer job in a paper mill when I was 18. One of my earliest tasks was to "sweep the mill." The entire mill, which was HUGE.

I started sweeping at 7AM and by about 9AM I had completed the first floor. I was on my way to floor # 2 when an old-timer pulled me aside and said, "Hey. Don't work yourself out of a job." Then he and various other old-timers showed me places where they hid and took naps throughout the day. I decided I did not want to be the goody-goody college interloper, so I took a few naps myself that summer.

The kicker? This was a NON-union mill.

My point is that many of those jobs are shitty and unpleasant, and people do what they can to alleviate the unpleasantness of it all--with or without the union.
Can't the same be achieved just by limiting/ scheduling screen time?
