Oh for Pete's* sake you're unnecessarily debasing the discussion. The real issue here is that these works are probably the best known in the 'The Western Canon' and of course you'd naturally use them as benchmark examples as they've rightly done here.

To not use such well known examples on the grounds of a form of political correctness is both absurd and it also denies us our culture and heritage.

I do not believe in the literal truth of the Bible as such, but I certainly do not deny its importance in Western Culture. Moreover, the King James Edition of 1611 is one of the most remarkable texts ever written [perhaps you should read a few bits of it some time], especially so given that it was written by a committee—committees usually produce Lowest Common Denominators but that certainly wasn't so for the KJE!

There is nothing inconsistent with what I have said here.

AMD-SEV: Platform DH key recovery via invalid curve attack (CVE-2019-9836)
Another interesting tack would be to include trivial functions like strlen, memcpy and friends with LLVM (excluding, at least initially, things like sockets). This would help a ton with WebAssembly as we wait for all browsers to support WASI!
I know this stop and have always appreciated your sign. Thank you +1!

Someone has to pay for that thing sticking out of San Francisco
To the CEO Lizbeth:

Replace vague suggestions like "recommend" with "must have voluntary parting coverage on your own insurance policy".
Collect the policy number.
Require confirmation that policy is active before every listing goes live.

Long-term solution: work with a carrier to underwrite this risk for your lenders so they don't need to involve their insurance.

It's clear that the platform is forcing its paying customers to shoulder all risk. Theft by not returning is the primary risk for which the customers are paying a premium.
Whoever sold the insurance to the end customer did the fraud. In this case, that probably mean KitSplit, but this sort of thing is rampant across the insurance industry proper.

Branding this as a sharing economy issue undersells the problem by an order of magnitude or two.
People living abroad who are US citizens will often use an address they're associated with - parents or other close relatives. That's what I did for years. I think there are services you can use too.

In turn, I'm curious why he bothers with Wealth Front rather than just parking it all in a few Vanguard funds. That cash account looks pretty attractive, but other than that...?
No, Kitsplit is a site that facilitates the theft of your equipment for a small fee.
I've been doing some Salesforce dev for a company for about 6 months and as far as I know, this is really still the case. There are ways to do a type of reference that mimics foreign keys and sql joins, but it is terribly convoluted and therefore confusing.
> A discount brokerage is not a full-service brokerage, which used to charge several hundred 1970s dollars to place a single stock trade and which used to call you to convince you of the desirability of paying them several hundred dollars to place a single stock trade.

The implication (by the choice of words here) 'call you to convince you of the desirability of paying them several hundred dollars to place a single stock trade' implies incorrectly that retail brokers were not in some way able to earn that money by providing value. If that were the case they would not exist and money would flow elsewhere. That is if in the end the client did not feel they were getting value.

Not everything out there is better DIY or even close to that. Some people actually don't want to search for hours figuring out the best place to travel or which airline flight to take or city to go to. They'd rather pay a travel agent or someone else to do that for them. Just because the masses do not have money to pay for advice does not mean that that advice is not of clear value to someone else who is situation differently financially.

This is actually a problem in the computer business. People (en masse) free advice at no charge what others used to get paid to do. Some people actually just want a solution to a problem. They are not interested in doing it themselves, following tutorials or having to depend on some person being nice and not charging them for a solution.
Bitcoin hasn't been extinguished because it's not a replacement for fiat. Transaction scaling still isn't there and no one in their right mind spends their bitcoin on coffee when it could 10x in a year and then drop 90% from there just to 10x again. It's become an investment class and governments are fine with that because people are investing their fiat into it and then pulling it back out to fiat later. There's no threat to their sovereign monetary policy yet.
remember when ensembles were the cool word before they got erased from collective consciousness and replaced with deep things? it can't even be a decade, was it 2012 or something?

> Anyone knows a good alternative with simple DDNS updaters?

Personally I just use Amazon's Route 53 and a ~150 line shell script wrapping awscli[1] to update the records. It's not ddclient but it gets the job done. Cost averages about $1.51/mo. for the DNS service and annual domain renewal—that's for a $12/yr. .info domain; other TLDs will vary. The DNS service pricing depends on the traffic, but at only $0.01 per 25,000 queries it's probably not a significant factor for most of the sites that would benefit from dynamic DNS.

Maybe you should have debugged that :)
Yes, that and not being able to root a device is also restricting in some sense for power users.

You'd be surprised that some of the most popular OEMs (Xiaomi, and the Oppo trifecta) have removed the ability to restrict specific apps from using data. Some OEMs do remove certain security and privacy oriented user settings like Private DNS, for instance.

If you can root a device, you're good to go. There's no such escape with Apple, for both the developers (a good thing given Apple's privacy charm offensive) and the users.
Exactly. For some things people fly to other countries because the price difference is enough to pay for their mini-vacation.
So and so. I have a PiHole and a firewall. Plenty of stuff bypasses the PiHole and doesn't show up in the dashboard. It's much better than nothing but vendors are also getting sneakier. Also when you go out of your WiFi you're competently exposed unless you VPN back into your network or use some service that provide similar functionality.
This. Why the hell doesn't KitSplit bill the client's credit card for the full amount of the equipment prior to rental, and clear it when the equipment is returned? Simple, and if the client can't afford the charge, don't rent the equipment.
That doesn't always help. As an example, the only level 1 trauma center in SF - Zuckerberg SF General - where you'd be taken if you were unconscious and in bad condition after a bad car wreck, is out of network for every insurer in the area. If I'm not mistaken, that means that you'd be balance billed for an enormous amount when you regained consciousness.
I think it's a chicken-and-egg problem. Many people driven to homelessness fall victim to drugs & develop mental illness as a result of being on the streets. When you're constantly on edge 24/7, focusing on survival and never get proper sleep your mental (and physical) health will deteriorate.
To children with hammers, all things look like nails.
Also having a small claims court case will quickly rack up the costs for the company if they hire a lawyer. For something like $3500 they may choose to settle.
We’re also 40 some odd years from the enacting of FISA, which should be an acronym fresh on the minds of anyone who watches the intersection of technology and regulation as an example of the long tail of legislative scope-creep w/rt NSA programs and activities.
Depends. I can travel to another city, but do I go home to recover after a multi-hour car ride or do I recover in that city? If I have an issue post operation does my home city have the resources to handle it? Who's going to drive me if I need a driver?
The graph is false like almost all peoples under standing of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Killing it is a better option.

The real Dunning-Kruger effect is people can rank their skill well, but the lesser skilled, although they rank themselves ok, are not as accurate proportionally as higher skilled people.

Everyone is still fully aware where they rank

So the graph would be less wrong if it had confidence variance on the Y axis.
While Democrat congressman Max Rose characterizes Google as "libertarian," James O'Keefe of Project Veritas has exposed that Google Executive Jen Gennai admits that Google is actively working to prevent election surprises like what happened with Donald Trump. [1]. Lawmakers like Rose are providing the cover that the Democrat-Party-aligned big tech companies need to censor and manipulate the public's information for political purposes.

Make sure to post it here when you have the article written up, I'd love to read it!
People don't really care about it being free they just don't want to be responsible for paying for it themselves.
The simple rule that can help you predict the future
True, but the lack of a proposed alternative to government regulation is the equivalent of taking that position. Using the CFPB, as you suggested, is still government regulation.

Firstly, I don't see how she has any legal obligation to pay for the medical care, at all. Your friend didn't get the medical care, her father did. Unless the father is a legal dependent of your friend, she isn't responsible for his medical expenses, at all.

Secondly, it sounds like you are making assumptions about her overall financial status, based on what you know about her current salary.

She might have substantial student debt, medical debt, spousal debt, be upside-down on a mortgage, have other family that she is supporting financially, etc.

Just knowing someone's salary doesn't provide a very clear picture of their overall financial status.
> IC design costs also continue to rise. The cost to design a 28nm planar device ranges from $10 million to $35 million, according to Gartner. In comparison, the cost to design a 7nm system-on-a-chip (SoC) ranges from $120 million to $420 million, according to Gartner.

Is the comparison here a device with the same number of transistors, a device with the same area, or something else entirely?

Because if that's the per-area cost, then the design cost per transistor has barely budged.
I don't think it's been settled that this is a net benefit yet.
Interesting that you had a similar idea, thanks for sharing!
I don't buy it.

The PV video of Gennai had an obvious bias, but her quote looked 100% genuine, and the powers that be are pulling it as fast as they can.

This wouldn't be the first story of SV putting its finger on the scale.

I'd imagine that with Google's legal resources, the unedited footage will eventually see the light of day, and then we will know if this was fraudulently slick editing, or another case of megacorporations run amok.
I've no experience with this area, but the $150 per user and month seem pretty high to me. How many people would typically need that kind of access? Only Sales, or even more parts of the company?
Oh, this is a brilliant idea that seems so obvious as I’m here reading it, but had never occurred to me before. Yes! I’ve always felt that my biggest problem in learning is that I never do anything to really verify I have a truly solid grasp of the material. I read, take notes, convince myself I have some level of understanding, and pat myself on the back for achieving that much. But I’ve got a feeling that if I’d overcome my laziness enough to read, take notes, reflect on my notes, then write a more polished version 2.0 of them as you mentioned, I would definitely take my conceptual understanding to a much deeper level. Thank you for this!
So from what I gather, the only parties that can potentially become "bad actors" are owners who fail to deliver the product and renters who cause a "voluntary parting" of over $200,000 in equipment - and that's how they end up at their 1/10000 incidence rate.

So perhaps KitSplit's strategy of blocking bad actors is to redefine them as neutral ones, converting millions in theft into millions in "partings" - which might not be an exaggeration.
they have highstreet branches

Is that a good thing?
Yes, it will help with some procedures, and especially benefit those that don't have health insurance.
Yes, Dynamics has definitely grown from just CRM capabilities since Microsoft bought the product all those years ago.
I couldn’t more strongly disagree with that take. Simply not knowing how to address a problem-as an individual-that has been articulated as one in need of solutions is emphatically not the equivalent of taking the position that nothing be done at all or that involved parties abdicate the search for said solutions.

That’s terrible form. I’m sorry. No.

But to your point yes I did propose a similarly frameworked agency like the CFPB, but I’ll also offer that in another comment I had my mind changed on the affair after further discussion with another commenter here about policies already established and powers delegated to already existing Federal agencies.
I primarily try to monetize my blog writing with tips and Patreon. Someone who doesn't want a recurring monthly charge can leave a one time tip.

Even though I removed ads from most of my sites in part to respect the boundaries of people who hate ads, I mostly get endless excuses rather than funds.

When I ask "How can I monetize my work?" people don't actually have a solution. They seem to think if you get enough traffic, that automagically leads to money, overlooking the fact that this concept only really works for an ad-based model and widespread use of adblockers kills it.

I sometimes get told "Product sales of some kind." Nevermind that this is another form of whoring out my writing to the need to sell something other than the value of the writing per se and also people on HN equally bitch about the evils of content marketing and how it is one of the things ruining the internet.

I've heard these arguments for years. I've tried to find a means to make money without being evil in some manner. The result for many years now is virtuous and intractable poverty.

When push comes to shove, the real answer boils down to: We expect large quantities of quality writing on a regular basis and we refuse to pay for most of it. We also will get up on our high horses and get all offended if you dare to use expressions like _slave labor_ to describe our entrenched expectations and the de facto outcome. Don't confuse me with the facts. My mind is made up!

It's quite tiresome to keep hearing the same BS over and over while I continue to live in poverty and yadda.

Edit in response to your edit: I call bullshit. If you honest to God want to give me a single dollar, you can do so via either PayPal or Venmo right now without further hypothesizing about how giving me a single Goddamned dollar is some new means to ruin the internet, along with every other means to pay for writing. Because beneath all the hot air is the fact that most people simply expect slave labor to create good writing. If this weren't true, I could pay cash for a cheap house in my small town and quit whining on HN about being poor.
Thank you! I, for one, would be keenly interested in this. I think it would enlighten about the operating costs and expenditures that are associated with this service and where they go. I'm hoping that the scrutiny of this might serve you well and you are able to get some takeaways to increase your profits. I appreciate your candidness and willing to be transparent to those ( at the head of the line, myself ) who you owe absolutely nothing to and possess zero vested interest.
Don't forget the five minute wait to update your cookie preferences before you can interact with their website. That's a nice usability touch.
Depends on what part of Mulesoft your talking about.

Traditionally it offered an Enterprise Service Bus solution but has been moving to an interesting collaborative API Management/Development solution over the past couple years. They really sell the idea of using an API network to hook up your integrations and then use Mulesoft's product to manage it.
Thanks for linking. If I'm reading that correctly, it's pretty bad in comparison to an average human radiologist at ~6% false positive rate [1]. There's probably a bias factor in there, however, where humans are hesitant to predict potential cancer due to the cost/time involved in follow-up screening.

wow, very cool
I purposely don't take notes in classes because I find it more productive to spend my energy listening (and thinking). And I find it hard to concentrate when I'm writing. I also then go back to primary source material when revising.

I think this is actually a pretty similar strategy to yours, and definitely one that I've found to be effective.
Extra $30? Prices were a lot more expensive than that. Ticket prices are about half what they were in 1979.
Good old California.

Looks like they created a new category called "limited civil" that is a blend of small claims and regular civil court. I guess they needed to feed some more lawyers.

Either way, SOMEBODY from the company is gonna have to show up and answer the court. That person isn't going to want to be there and is probably way too busy to deal with you. It will be easier to pay and move on.

As I said, every state is different. Honestly, he SHOULD sue them in "limited civil" court if he can. Heck, I'd argue that if there are enough people who've had their gear stolen via this company then he could have a class-action if he really wants to push it.

The legal system sucks for getting quick justice but it's an effective tool for bringing someone (or some company) to the table who refuses to make amends.

I've used small claims to my advantage before. The $50 you pay in a filing fee is a great deal of satisfaction when you get a call from the opposing party's lawyer looking to make a deal.
Housing Bites: Vacancy, Ticks, and Demographics
How long does implementing Salesforce takes usually, lets say in a company with 10 users(salespeople?)?

I have implemented 10-13 SAP Saas ERP systems in last couple of years and the projects are around 2-4 months with 1-2 consultants working on the project for a company of ~50 users. But ERP is much wider then just CRM, it includes all business processes.

Can Salesforce be self implemented by the company or is consulting needed? ERP cannot be self implemented, definitly needs consulting both on configurating the system and also changing companies business processes.

Its still amazing how Saas EPR can be implemented in this short time given it used to take atleast 1 year due to the need of setting up infrastructure and all over more complexity.
> I think it's a legitimate question, does an app "behaving native" (as far as UI/UX elements and the OS design patterns) actually help the users?

Hmm... does an application behaving according to the UX language of the rest of the system actually benefit the people using that system? Let me think about that.

Nothing about the current trends in UI design are about a better experience for the user. Nothing. Ask anyone who relies on accessibility features, for instance. I'm sure we all love hijacked scrolling, pop-in content, pop-up boxes, etc. which is why they're there right?

No, as usual users are just resigned to putting up with the bullshit that crappy developers deliver to them, and it is getting easier over time as they forget that things used to be better.

You're not designing for users, you're designing for money, so at least take responsibility for making shit suck so you can put food on the table.
> who presumably considers whether the drug a patient is requesting is appropriate.

Sure.. presumably, but let's not forget about drug reps. You know, those salesmen from the prescription companies (who run the ads) who "advertise" to doctors with fancy vacations and other perks. I've heard plenty of stories where a doctor prescribed something he/she knowingly wasn't supposed to (or there was a better alternative available), but had an "in" with the drug representatives allowing for perks they just weren't willing to give up.
It’s not inefficient. You are exactly describing the grammar phase of learning, i.e. brute memorization which is absolutely critical before the dialectic phase. (The trivium is complete when you understand the topic well enough to teach and engage using rhetoric).
I think this could be a new milestone, compared to what you saw, because it uses deep neural networks.

I also am not sure saying computers can't catch the hard ones is true in light of this. It seems like a deep neural network would be useful to catch the hard ones.

I agree with using the two together, but I don't see why the two can't be different AI subsystems. That seems to be what they're going for at IBM. Some of the power comes from a scientific model, while more power comes from well-trained deep learning networks.

Before Alpha Zero, advances in self-driving cars, and face detection advances, I'd have agreed with you.
I'm founder of a similar 2 sided marketplace addressing the same market, but for buying and selling (https://gearoffer.com).

KitSplit likely has a fraud problem that's much larger than they admit. Even at our small scale, we often get fraud attempts. The key is to adapt the platform once you find a hole. Otherwise, these fraudsters will come back, frequently. If KitSplit tout their ability to prevent fraud in the first place, but this person was able to find a long list of other victims, I'm guessing KitSplit isn't plugging the holes and this type of scam will continue.
The core idea of 'move fast break things' is fast iteration time. This is actually really good because it means that even when there are issues, they get fixed.

The problem is when you move fast, break things, and then don't fix them. Hell, I'm even OK with being slow to roll things out to make sure you don't break things, just make sure your iteration time period is on the order of weeks or months, not years or decades.
The flashing tab on this site is absolutely abysmal. Who thought this was a good idea.

What is this, a "local singles in my area" scam site or an interesting blog? And it's a message to ask if you need help no less!
Thanks, that's interesting. I left Toronto in 2001 to come back to the US for work.

I remember being shocked when I first moved there that you could get even a small amount of codeine over the counter. That would never fly in the US for precisely the reason you gave for them finally pulling it from the market - people here would buy the crap out of it to get "high" even though at those small doses you'd have to eat a LOT of them to feel a real effect. I can't imagine the stomach problems people would have taking that much of an analgesic.
interesting... so all this is stored on the blockchain?
