I think this depends on the industry. Software houses usually are agnostic/diverse unless they're chained to Microsoft.
Who would have thought that Apple would be releasing software for Windows in the Windows Store that from the looks of it is pretty good - better than iTunes? Also, who would have thought that the announcement would be on the official windows blog?
> we "have to" patch because otherwise we're "not secure against this scary sounding thing."

Either you have people with security experience who can tell you if it matters in your situation, or... Well, you won't know what the right answer is and may as well default to patching since your os distribution will do it.

But I don't think it's that different for named and not named vulnerabilities. The response to management can be either "we dealt / are dealing with it according to our vulnerability management policies", or whatever you'd answer when asked about any other issue. The only difference is you may be asked in the first place.
Sure, but unfortunately this is what it's become. I generally use the Green/Gold/Diamond split, where my own preferences go along the lines of diamond > green > gold. 'Diamond' journals exist, but they are rare.
Fort Yukon, Alaska is 6 miles above the Arctic Circle and is often above 80 degrees F from June - August.

The Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge experiences extreme temperature variance and scarce precipitation. Fort Yukon holds the state record high temperature of 100° F (38° C), and comes close to the record low at –75° F (-59° C).

Yukon Flats is the only place in the world where temperatures of 100° F have been recorded north of the Arctic Circle. The Refuge also experiences some of the coldest temperatures of any inhabited area. In the uplands and mountains surrounding the Yukon Flats, there is less temperature variance with cooler summers and warmer winters.

There is "very well" and then there is "statistical anomaly".

Google pays almost nobody. The whole firm, called Alphabet, has just 98,771 full-time employees. Most of those are not really "in the world of tech" though, with many devoted to stuff like marketing and human resources. It looks like about 40,000 are engineering talent, but not all of that will be software.

There are over 40 million software developers. At most, about 1 in 1000 work at Google. Again this assumes that all the technical staff at Alphabet is software developers working for Google, but that assumption is clearly wrong. There are hardware people working on cars and phones and more.

That 0.1% is practically nothing. Approximately nobody works for Google. It is just crazy to use Google as a standard for tech pay.

It's like asking why an athlete would be a gym teacher when the NFL pays so much better. It's like asking why a person would give kids private music lessons when you can make so much more money singing like Madonna. It's like asking why a person would be a mayor instead of being the US president.

Furthermore...

You are incorrect about the benefits being offered at defense contractors. Some do have free food, bonuses, decent pay, and even stock options. I've gotten all those things at defense contractors. Another advantage is a 40-hour work week. Another advantage of many defense contractors (not all) is that your coworkers are trustworthy American citizens who don't behave erratically; they have all passed a background check.
I guess one solution is to use hardware that takes connector compatibility more seriously. I only use stuff with USB-A, and the Yubikey works with my phone via NFC (Yubico's Neo model).

Similarly, my laptop has an SD card reader and Ethernet port. My laptop and phone have 3.5mm jacks. All my small devices use micro-USB.

No dongles or adapters makes for seamless usage. I guess the only 'adapter' is keeping a micro-USB -> USB-A cable around.
This is pretty much the set of insights that led to creating Holacracy (which is all about explicit structure and process) as an upgrade to chaotic, structureless anti-manager methods. I love working in a self-managed, self-organizing company... but only because it runs on Holacracy. I would never (again) work anywhere with a consensus decision-making mechanism.

That's actually a pretty cool thought. I've always scoffed at philosophies along the lines of, "what if it's all a dream/simulation" because if it's perfect, and you only escape it through death, what's the point of holding that view? But if there's a chink in the armor, it becomes suddenly very interesting. Not that I think that's likely to pan out since it so badly violates Occam's Razor, but it's an interesting possibility.
Not really. ZFS dedup is just brain-dead stupid. Rabin-Karp chunking plus spatial locality / opportunistic dedup allow you to gracefully scale down: you keep a complete table of successfully deduped blocks, plus a small fraction of other blocks, like e.g. smallest 1% of hashes, first blocks in files and final blocks in files. If you have a 12 MB (100 blocks) stretch that matches, you have 63% (1-1/e) chance of discovering one of these blocks as a match, and then use spatial locality to dedup adjacent blocks (duplicate blocks tend to come in bunches).
I would add to this that Person A's comment is almost always upvoted near the top of the post as it is in this case, which immediately disproves Person B's characterization of A's preferences as "niche".

I think there’s a more HN-relevant one in the way that founder-controlled companies seem to be capable of more growth. There’s not as much backstabbing and jockeying for power because everyone knows who the top dog is. The founder isn’t going to step down unless things go really well (everyone gets rich) or really poorly (everyone gets laid off) so you can’t stab them in the back and take their role. Founders can make decisions with a single vision — design by committee doesn’t produce innovation.

There tend to be problems when founders step back from the top of the formal power structure. Steve Jobs remains the best example I can think of; he wielded immense influence within Apple in the early 80s, but was ultimately a destructive presence once he no longer had formal power because he would go around his bosses to build his pet project (the original Macintosh) and created a corporate culture of distrust and deception. When he left, Apple fell apart culturally and really had no product vision until he rejoined a decade later and resumed the role of founder-CEO.
Cool project! I think there is definitely a need for something like this. I've achieved something similar by syncing Google Photos to Google Drive (https://support.google.com/drive/answer/6093613) and then using Google Drive for Windows to sync to my local computer, and then run restic periodically to store snapshots in Backblaze B2. It sounds like timeliner would make that a little easier, with some more powerful capabilities.
They’re fast, but you’re not using them well if you’re writing C, because the compiler is not good at putting things like local variables, function arguments, or globals in the zero page. It’s only 256 bytes and you can’t easily share.

So for 6502 I would rather not be writing C.
Imagine if human beings could be vulnerable to such attacks. Someone sends you a video link, you watch it, you see weird shapes appearing and disappearing for a few minutes, then the next thing you know, you wake up in a bathtub full of ice-cubes with one of your kidneys stolen.
Correct, the main difference (in my mind, open to other arguments) is how financial resources are allocated.

Right now, Uber and Lyft are burning a ton of money on customer acquisition with the goals of gaining enough scale to be sustainable, independent companies.

Relating this back to the great-grandparent post, there's an alternative: Google and Apple could use their existing brand recognition and software reach to maintain wide-scale car-ordering apps without having to spend as much (certainly still some) and with bigger balance sheets to take any short term financial hits. Then they could let the supply (drivers and the cost of rides) and demand (how many customers will pay for non-VC subsidized cars) play itself out over time, instead of the Uber/Lyft model of trying to juice both sides of the marketplace with excess spend.
At the end, it doesn't matter if you go through the digital or "analog" records. I had to do the same after mom & dad passed away.

I found a lot of open questions I'll never get an answer for. Ultimately, this made me a more open and honest person towards my siblings. They should never find something "surprisingly" in my digital or analog records. It also changed a bit how a communicate online. I never write something I wouldn't say anybody face to face.
Yes, I know that there are approaches which use the normal file system.

But what I want is different:

I want a universial "DB for binary files" where I can store binary data and all its metadata.

Then I can use this DB to build a app for picture galleries, music collections and tons of other things.

This DB should also support:

* automatic checksumming so that I can detect data corruption

* Some sort of version history so that I can store multiple versions of a file

* there could be built-in replication which I can use to see the same data (or parts of it) on all my devices

I think you have a point about nuclear bombs keeping the peace.

Exactly what one-offs the russians once made, I don't know how well this is known. But we have a pretty accurate picture of the stockpile of bombs existing now. And the the age of maximally-huge bombs was a long time ago, to compensate for terrible missile accuracy.

That's for posting an actual citation. The author of that blog post explicitly states in a follow up comment: "I totally agree that it makes no business sense" and that his objective is merely "to explain how a smart contract implements the terms of a contract."

So yes, fair to say it's vapor i.e. not a real thing. That may be harsh but it is a fair and supported criticism, whereas your prior comment merely engaged in unsupported mockery.

Many people are using high-res monitors now, which invariably come with software to allow quickly snapping windows to a portion of the screen, creating a grid layout where there is no overlapping, and no desktop space either.

This already exists, right now. And I'd say that solutions like the one I describe are better, because they are completely customisable, and I can make windows full screen or minimise them as needed.
I downloaded it when it first came out. Like iTunes it still felt like a Mac app. That isn’t saying there is anything wrong with Mac apps - on a Mac.

Direct democracy does not imply that everyone participate in every decision, merely that everyone has the potential to do so, with respect to constitutive matters. Prepetory committees would iron out most details.
Never mind that BBC is funded by royal charter rather than by customers, so they get paid whether people read them or not.

You're confusing accuracy with bias. It is possible to give an accurate account of a story despite having a bias, so long as you're still stating the relevant facts. The bias comes from the interpretation and whether they state the facts in a positive or negative light.

As for biases, WSJ is known to be center-right, NYT is center-left, The Economist is biased towards classical liberalism, etc. When you read the stories you can take the bias into account pretty easily.
The tech crunch iOS app as an absolute travesty. It can’t even load images, and constantly redirects you to the mobile site. It’s also riddled with bugs. It’s been that way for about 2 years. Hopefully they will adresss that along with this.
"Better than iTunes", particularly the Windows version of iTunes, is admittedly a very low bar.
I handled tech for 'Hollywood' companies for years.

In a broadcast operations center, or a less-than-handful number of transfer houses, would monitors costing 10K+ be found.

Average cost of ingest bays would be minimal with 12" or less screens for doing a little QC on intake.
Edit bays would be dual screens costing 1-2K a piece from 1999-2010, then gradually less as LCDs matured. Color calibration was taken seriously, but not to a science level. 500 for a calibration device and run it 2x a year.

Money went to chairs/couches/desks, then other room aesthetics. Never spent more than 5K on a single workstation, and at that price point were nearly fully loaded.

Storage is where it gets steep now. Apple used to offer solutions, but they were baaaaad.

I still say, good for Apple releasing this gear. They employee a lot of bright people so this really can't be a fail. It sure looks pretty too.
There is afsctool, git clone and build from https://github.com/RJVB/afsctool or brew install afsctool (an older version).
You may be overestimating how much management is paying attention. As long as things are shipped reasonably close to time and no one is filing lawsuits most stay more concerned with their own goals than that of their staff.
> Given perfect information, in this situation, they'll produce, somewhat miraculously, a complete description of the state of the system.

I don't think that the complete description of the system when the atom is going from a pure excited state to a pure ground state will include pure states of the atom which are superpositions of the excited state and the ground state. If we have a complete description of the system, the atom may be part of a larger system which is in a pure state and in that case the quantum state of the atom may be an improper mixture of the excited state and the ground state. The atom may also be in a pure state on its own, but then it will be either in the excited state or in the ground state.

That's all I said. I may be wrong but I fail to see in your comments a reason to think so.

Edit: By the way, I know an atom can in principle be in a state which is a superposition of states with different energies (I said so in my first comment). It's just that I don't think that happens during the spontaneous transition from one state to another. If it does happen, I would be glad to learn about it.

Edit2: Looking again at some quantum optics papers I see people argue that stochastic equations have a physical meaning and are not just a calculation device. Anyway, those interaction models are quite complex and full of approximations so it's not clear what "pure" means anymore...
> Honest question, because I'm not a security expert: can you do this without having already pwned your target to such a degree that this would be unnecessary?

The paper describes strategies for manipulating a target box into doing just this.

If a placebo works as well as the trial treatment then you can conclude the trial treatment is ineffective. You can't conclude anything about the placebo. The definition of a placebo is a substance or treatment with no medical action.

Well you could also conclude that you picked the wrong placebo since perhaps it's not an ineffective substance or treatment. This is the issue with acupuncture studies - turns out placebo treatments actually have an effect so you can't use the results of those studies in any substantive way.

This autism could be working the same way - just the fact that someone is caring about your child can cause a ripple effect that improves the child's behavior or influences the parents and/or evaluators evaluation of the child's behavior.

Normally they are kept in at least a climate-controlled vault as the oxide will eventually start flaking off the tape if its not stored correctly. I think the issue here was the sheer number of consolidations that UMG and the record business as a whole. The article mentions that were just a tenant at that point. Since the tapes are the assets that are acquired in a merger I'm sure someone made a call to some storage facility and said "move those things over here now." And eventually it became the purview of some warehouse worker.
If I understand correctly, China could have ruled the world at least twice.

First, around 1100, China was starting in on an industrial revolution. They peaked at tens of thousands of tons of iron produced each year. Then the mandarins noticed that some commoners were getting rich, which was contrary to the proper order, and the government shut down the iron industry, and the whole thing stopped. But they could have had at least the beginnings of the industrial revolution five centuries before England. (Source: The Victory of Reason, by Rodney Stark.)

Second, China had fleets that dominated at least the Far East, and could have dominated the Indian Ocean. But shortly after 1434, the Chinese emperor decreed an end to the voyages of their great fleet. (Source: 1421 and 1434, by Gavin Menzies.)
« Has generally been known for », is your cultural biases showing.

Spend a year in France (or Germany for that matter), you’ll realize that the social safety net isn’t as good as it is, but also that a lot of things you wouldn’t notice. France has a shit-ton of food innovations you’ve never heard of, great universities, the world record on rail speed, vibrant local theater life in almost every town. You just can’t know about those things if you’re not there, just like people outside the US have no idea what life is like in the US.
But when you are at a state like

A = 3,
B in 1..2,
all_distinct([3, B, C]),
C in 1..2.

you don't yet have a complete solution in which each variable is bound to a number. In fact, you don't even have a guarantee that a solution exists. To get to this point no search is necessary, but to get from this point to a guaranteed solution, you need to call a "labeling" predicate, which will do backtracking search.

I've seen a lynx (mountain lion) close-up too, and they're not small. They're the height of a medium size dog, but far more muscular. They can easily take down a human, and have been known to kill humans (usually women) when very hungry and too close to civilization. Of course, they're not the size of a Siberian tiger; those things are huge.

As for needing a large space to thrive: that would be nice, but they can't really live in the wild in most places any more because stupid humans will kill them. This is the whole reason deer are so overpopulated in many places in the US; lynxes are their normal predators.

At $dayjob I "solved" that problem by setting up SAML auth so we would all login via gsuite (thus using 2FA via yubikey there). After a few months I set that up we got acquired by a big company that uses RSA secureId software security tokens. The security policy mandates that you have only one active security token instance (which BTW acts as a password replacement instead of 2FA, I assume for better interop with legacy tools that only talk ldap...)
