I hear of hardcoded passwords in Cisco products at least once a month. Is Huawei really below that standard?
I don't think "as you wish" is meant to be in resignation but as a wholly committed and happy gesture of love. I'm assuming it's in reference to The Princess Bride, where the character Westley says it as an expression of love for a girl who first takes it as wry compliance.
SoftBank is playing a game that is way above any hedge fund's pay grade, let alone some blogger.

- If SoftBank goes down, every coder loses his/her rice bowl. The pain inflicted on Son, Tim Cook and MBS is minimal, compared to your average tech worker.

- Valuation are not isolated beasts, the nominal value looks high because of the extraordinary financial alchemy that is going on the Fed. Large pool of capitals are betting the Fed is going to continue with QE4, QE5, .... QEn.

Imagine how it feels to be a sovereign wealth fund, watching the Fed print almost a trillion dollars / yearly in good times ! You must be terrified of what happens when the ball stops rolling.

- Owning growth stocks is an amazing way to hedge against many possible future outcome, both good and bad.
This was to move money between trading accounts. I don't think these new nimble "mobile" banks offer stock trading accounts just yet.

edit: also, those banks are UK ones. I'm not inclined to open accounts there with Brexit going on. Foreign accounts are also a pain for tax admin.
This reminds me of how Russia banned Reddit because of one post of some dude describing how to grow shrooms at home.
Agree on the premise that the superrich can be a threat to democracy, however this article argues a fallacy, the superrich has a lot of lobbying power because the political system has en-massed a lot of political power in a few entities, like the EU.

The superrich then only needs to lobby a few entities instead of every country in Europe, or every region for that matter. Just take the latest lobbying success against the citizens of EU, the content filter & the link tax, proposing those two on the national level would never have been possible, because of the ease of circumvention, but on a EU level it can actually be
enforced.

If you want to keep transnational organizations like the EU, then you need to make it immune to lobbying, which first of can't be done and maybe not even wanted. Not all lobbying is immoral per se, because parliaments are not experts on every subject, it becomes immoral when it has an obvious quid pro quo situation.

What you is left with is to stop people of becoming superrich and/or stripping wealth from the already existing superrich. Good luck passing that in any legislative chamber we have today.

I find it funny that bitcoin fails to do what it was created to do and that people are so invested in it they can't change it or let it die. You can't buy a cup of coffee without paying large confirmation fees or delaying the transaction for day to weeks. There was talk about decentralizing smaller transactions to ease up on that but that defeats the whole purpose of bitcoin.
It seems like one of the hit ISPs (KPN) actually is part of MANRS. Shouldn't that have protected them and their customers?
6502 instruction set nowhere near as powerful as 8086, so I'd say more impressive! I was a ZX81 then Lynx coder myself, so learned Z80 rather than 6502.

Cute-B Cream
Breast Reduction Cream
breast reduction creamCute B is a breast reducing and firming cream. A natural formula is effective to decrease breast size. It is not costly and powerful non-surgical breast reduction treatment, you will discover. If you are not satisfied with your larger breast size, then get the advantages of Cute B breast reduction cream.

These days there is a big problem of breast enlargement. Why women are desire to decrease the bosom size? Why they losing appeal in unique breasts shape? Survey shows that females didn’t lose attraction in innovative breast size but the cause to searching for breast reducing cream and different products is that bosoms turns out to be shapely and drooping post pregnancy, breast feeding and unhealthier diet. Boobs become droopy and bra size alters within few weeks.
Why aren't licenses transferable cross-platform though? They give you the right to _use_ the product after all.
One license should normally allow you to play on any platform you wish (xbox/pc/ps4/stevia) ans even transfer across platforms.
I don't know what your basis is for this assertion, but it's not true in the case of Mastodon. It functions just fine. I don't need some random checkmark bearer on there to enjoy my little corner of the fediverse. The instance I'm on covers its costs with a Patreon. That's true of most I interact with. There is no need for massive scale. Only ad-supported centralized services require that to function.

Not everyone has eating the world as a goal. Lance Ulanoff didn't understand this when he declared Mastodon DOA two years ago because he couldn't find William Shatner, and people continue to make the same mistake. I don't want to follow William Shatner or Lance Ulanoff, so they can stay on Twitter with people who do.
Should tech workers consider buying deep out of the money puts on tech ETFs as a form of insurance?
I use Linux, so Prudent is not an option. And even considering its workflow, it would be impossible for my users to adopt it. I have a retail business in which I employ non-tech people.

But I appreciate your suggestion anyway. I think Prudent looks very elegant from a UI perspective -- 100x more elegant than GnuCash, for example. And it ended up stimulating me to think about a possible text/command-line based financial solution for SMEs. That would be great in many ways. For example, imagine something like IntelliSense working on top of a workflow.

>Create expense of $39.99 paid to Staples on 6/1/2019

Well, I believe design and implementation of such solution would be enormous given all the processes and situations that would have to be covered and forethought, but the end result would give so much agility to end users that I believe it would compensate the effort.

While it is certainly problematic it doesn't change the fact that the fault is ultimately with the voters and their lack of critical thinking and evaluation skills which makes it effective.

The scenario is akin to computer security. Sure it is wrong for a hacker to manipulate flaws in the system enmasse but the underlying susceptibility to the bullshit is the root cause. Even if you stop that bad actor the root cause remains open to all with evil intent.

If I were to spend trillions on the worst political campaign - say "lets ban the anti-retrovials and give everyone AIDS" in a remotely sane electorate I would have essentially zero impact other than the massive reputational damage I would take. In a terrifyingly insane one where the worst casually proposed idea achieved 100% acceptance the entire populace would be dead without outside military intervention.

Fixing it is easier said than done but would involve education and deep investment in critical thinking.
Pitchforks won't work. The superrich learned from history and own private armies. Also, they don't live in the same town as the people with the pitchforks. Possibly not even the same continent.

Your post is also an attempt to “reinforce complex concepts in our minds subconsciously” isn’t it? The entire field of marketing is an attempt to influence people to engage in a particular behavior. Why single out hedge funds and intelligence agencies?

That's grossly incorrect about Nim. I'm a C/C++ noob and I've found a lot of C/C++/Nim/CS experts answering my questions and helping me out on Nim IRC/Gitter/Nim Forums.

I assume it does, if you try to do so it throws an exception. It's a rather common footgun with multi-threaded code until you've lost a few toes to it. People are always writing naive producer-consumer queues with an unlocked List<T> backing it until they learn better.

No but if you spend a bit of time you can finesse a system. I’ve been not using Facebook for a while but a few years ago I noticed they had “likes” and “see more of this” so I liked as much Cthulhu related ads as I could find and my ads pretty quickly looked like they were being served from carcosa.

I suspect that we will not ever see all this information actually give us better ads. The people in charge of this sort of stuff typically just want to get more clients so they are happy to inflate. The problem I see is that there is a whole lot of personal data being sent around all over the place to fly by night companies with no incentive to protect it.
Anything out of Mission Control during Apollo. The Army has good stuff too. FEMA has some good stuff on how they apply it on the ground and train.

I particularly like Gene Kranz "Failure is not an Option". It is more background but it works. In general, it is not crazy hard. You get the roles, you distribute them. Someone can have multiple roles that depends on the size of the incident.

The usual roles i differentiate are Point (think of it as IC if you want), Comms and Logs
This rule is over applied. If someone doesn't hold the door for you then don't assume they did it out of malice. That would be an appropriate use of this rule. Applying it in cases where there are known and obvious instances of malice doesn't make sense.
Actually you have it backwards. Everything produced is sold at its clearing price. If everyone has half as much money, then the price gets cut in half. Likewise, if the number of goods/services produced is doubled, the price of everything gets cut in half. A little bit of a simplification, but that's generally how it works.

Money is not wealth. It's how we measure it. Real wealth is goods/services. And the only way to increase the volume of goods/services produced is to invest in the capital equipment that increases our productivity in producing them. More goods/services means more purchasing power, which means higher wages.
> what will they want as a solution?

The same thing we use when enforcing the rules of any infrastructure: publicly accountable and transparent due process. These problems will continue until big tech implements a proper rule of law[1]. They will continue[2] to be responsible for these difficult decisions as long as their platforms idea of justice is the rule of man[2].

This isn't being fair, this is projecting valid fears of a new service and comparing them to other platforms that haven't experienced said fears on any scale to make such a comparison valid to begin with.

We all know when MS or Sony get punched, they come back and swing harder. When Google gets punched, are they ready to dump another billion in to surviving or will they cancel and run? Google isn't known for long tail losess on new launches.

> Ocean heat content (OHC) set a new record in early 2019

> In many ways, OHC represents a much better measure of climate change than global average surface temperatures. It is where most of the extra heat ends up and is much less variable on a year-to-year basis than surface temperatures. Most years set a new record for OHC and 2019 has been no exception so far, with the first three months showing the warmest OHC since records began.

> Changes in the amount or rate of warming are much easier to detect in the OHC record than on the surface. For example, OHC shows little evidence of the slowdown in warming in the mid-2000s, seen in surface temperature records.
Agreed. It’s remarkably easy to screw up BGP by misconfiguration by changing (or deleting) a route map or prefix list. There’s over 800K autonomous systems participating in BGP now, so I’m certain mistakes happen all the time but don’t get reported.

Do these transformations leave any discrepancy or signature in the video or audio that would be detectable by a machine? (So, tiny, tiny discrepancies might work.) Someone could make a browser plugin to alert the user when video/audio has a good chance of being fake.

The TCO of the large X-Y pen plotters seemed subjectively expensive, for hobby purposes, which I suspect is most of the reason to still use a pen plotter. Large paper (maybe you can use the current inkjet ones), expensive pens that you go through quickly (I don't know whether they're made anymore, or whether there's a viable DIY way to keep them refilled and working, or to adapt current off-the-shelf non-plotter pens), and keeping the mechanics of old machines working (and perhaps stockpiling backup/parts units, when you can find them).
Because I don’t know the operating systems involved or your use case, I’d say:
1. Best practices
2. Constant review

This question is far too vague even if I had one weird trick to share.

The difference between optimizing for “link clicks” vs. “landing page views”
You should only do that if you believe the crunch is coming in three months or so.

Unless you can time the crunch exactly, put options are a mug's game. They bleed value over time (negative theta in industry parliance).

If you really want to protect yourself, just plan your finances as if your high income was temporary rather than permanent.

The will is there sometimes to attempt this, which is why following risk procedures is tied to performance ratings at better companies. Companies also delete data after specified time, as required by numerous legal entities.

I guess they go through other places much more often, but that's not news. When it's through a suspicious country, it makes the news.
Because it’s much faster and easier to deploy new features when you have one app for three platforms. They’d be crazy to spend resources on native apps for those.
Nope so far the people criticising Huawei have not provided any evidence of malpractice. Huawei on the other hand have been very open and review by independent third party auditors [1].

When you consider that the only one in the world who seems to have a problem with Huawei security is NSA and GCHQ who have both encouraged the use of broken security so that they can hack their own citizens I think its clear this is just baseless western propaganda.

There's a chart that says "Morgan Stanley caught red handed with a massive short book" - but isn't this exactly what they're supposed to do with the "greenshoe"? I.e., oversell the offering by taking a short position themselves, then buy it back later to move up the price?

I would wager most of the people dealing in crypto currencies are actually precisely the kind of people that would fall for pretty much anything. I don't think it's a stretch to say that the fact that they deal in crypto currencies is actually a pretty good indication that they would.
But you can throw a pen into any gantry mechanism, whether that's a cheap laser like the k40 or a hobby router like the xcarve, or a kit-built machine like cncrouterparts sells.

These are cheap and ubiquitous. Most of them speak gcode not hpgl, but that's just a firmware tweak or a postprocessor change.
I doubt that will save them right away, regardless. I've bought used vehicles for years.

Example: Bought a 2004 Navigator for $500. It needed new struts to replace the airbags, new CV shafts on the front, new front and back windshields and some engine work. Spent about $3000 total for a $6k bluebook value luxury car.

I watch Craigslist for really good deals and pounce on them. With my shed business, I wear out a 3/4 ton pickup every year pulling buildings. Cheaper to spend 3-4k a year on that than to buy a new one and have it in the shop for warranty work all the time.

Cryptographic signing just moves the problem from the authenticity of the document to the authenticity of the key.

That can be very useful when it is useful to only have establish trust once but that's not really the problem described here. The secret word is probably more useful in being so simple, however it still has to be established beforehand.
Money is not magic. Yes it opens doors when it comes to political power, but it also paints a big fucking sign on the head of the spender, that this dude is the one to milk.

Ask HN: How to manage side projects with a full time job and time off computer
I’ve realised that working a 40+ hour a week job is a lot of time to spend looking at a computer. In order to maintain positive mental health it’s important to spend time away from screens, standing. stretching and being outside. How do people manage this in addition with working on side-projects (of course, computer related) or computer-based hobbies?

Thanks!
Hedging is better than hope. You could sell some nontech etf puts to reduce your cost also.
Decent area, incomes are good by non bay-area standards, and the cost of living is extremely low. There are a lot of software jobs but most of them are unexciting. Traffic isn't too bad as long as you work and live in the same general part of RTP. The food is decent if you are into barbecue and southern hipster, but the ethnic options besides Indian are a bit weak. There's a lot happening but if you're into fringe stuff it's a bit slow.

Don't have kids but people who do have told me Raleigh and Chapel Hill have decent school districts but Durham should be avoided. Ironically I think Durham is the most interesting part of the RTP area.
