This roughly aligns with my understanding as well. The additional takeaways I'd add (that may or may not be accurate):

- Many security researchers disagree with the core idea of SKS servers in general (they're essentially just undeletable online storage that anyone can write to). The distributed "Web of Trust" model itself is considered untrustworthy.

- The vulnerability is triggered by the usage of the SKS servers. This is very bad for any piece of infrastructure that relies on them, but if you're only using local keys that you imported and verified yourself, this particular attack doesn't effect you.

- The PGP format itself is cumbersome and has problems (people want shorter keys, and they want a simpler format with less variability). So while this particular vulnerability only effects SKS servers, there's still a strong movement to get rid of PGP in its entirety.

- The fact that the people behind the SKS servers are reacting negatively and angrily may be reason to be worried about GPG in general, since we don't know if the maintainers would respond the same way to other vulnerabilities that aren't restricted to SKS servers.

Similarly, thoughts or corrections welcome.

The title suggests that s3 itself was leaking objects outside of its design and intended controls.

A real leak would be Bucket with same name leaked objects from other same names bucket... letting a customer get another customers data.

I don’t see why s3 is anywhere in the article. It’s distracting and hints that someone the people in charge of this sensitive data should be off the hook for poor data stewardship.

Maybe title should be

I wish these toys were available today.

Maybe if they were, fewer people would be afraid of science. And atomic energy.

When we were kids one of my cousins was signed up for some kind of science experiment of the month club. The first kit came with a microscope and all kinds of instruments. Then each month a box would arrive full of slides and rocks and all kinds of things with instructions for performing five or six different experiments.

Even as an adult, if such a thing existed I would subscribe to it today.

Six of those hours (on a good day) would be spent in meetings, answering emails, helping interns, giving code reviews for colleagues, writing documents, reviewing documents, getting lunch/snacks/coffee, waiting in line for the bathroom or elevator, and attempting to recover focus when you return to your desk after any of the above.

The “selfish” remark rings pretty hollow when you’re talking about someone that is literally spending her time freeing wrongfully convicted people.

What Ms. Bazelon is doing is the opposite of selfish. She’s providing for her family, serving her profession, and serving her community. She’s teaching her kids good morals by example: hard work and service. What kind of terrible lesson would it be to her children if she taught them that their school camping trip was more important than those things?

I often hear that this director or that film was genius/groundbreaking/important and upon watching it fail to understand what I was supposed to be looking for. To those of you who are better versed in this sort of thing than I am, how did you come to know what you know?

For example, I had a friend a few weeks back tell me that a particular scene in the movie we were watching was the first time a cinematography technique (whose name, along with the movie in question, I've now forgotten) was used. Knowing the history of it might simply be an exercise in good trivia retention, but understanding the technique and even knowing its name would seem to be something very different. How do you learn that?
Thanks! Lots to learn here.
As a former Mormon, this is exactly correct and scary for that reason. I am ashamed that I used to think this way.
I know places that use disposable carton cups, because their impact on the environment is less than cleaning a reusable cup. Which will probably make people scream that it's all too complicated to keep up with. I would love for people to be smart and change their lifestyle, but I'm afraid it's too much to ask. And I'm also afraid the solution lies with Big Government. Bans on gasoline cars, only allow disposable dishwasher detergent, subsidize train travel, speed up hydrogen powered air travel, etc, etc. It won't be fun, but it will be necessary. I believe it will happen. Hopefully we're not too sloooow to vote the right people in office
I learned doing ACSL exercises on paper starting in middle school. We had excercices for things like Boolean algebra, graph theory, base conversion ect. As well as 5 hacker rank style programming questions throughout the semester, in addition to our more regular CS coursework. Teacher made us keep an organized notebook with printouts of all our excercices/tests ect. Thought it was rediculous and old school but wasn't even 5 years before I looked back with gratitude. Learned the fundamentals needed to get me through 2/300 level courses at college. The teacher was amazing and in large part the reason I'm remotely successful today. There were 13 - 20 kids each year that took more then the intro courses. He would always treat us like family, and would do things like have us all meet after school once a year in fancy clothing for a "mock" fancy meal. It was so he could teach us (some autistic) how to be proper at a dinner and which fork is used for what. He taught us how to be skilled programmers and also people. Random middle of nowhere public high school in PA, very grateful. The teacher was deathly terrified of birds tho.

There is complete accounting in the food chain. It is precisely known where your lettuce was grown, when and how it was transported, stored, frozen, thawed and placed in the supermarket. It is even known who's picking it up from the shelves and paying for it.

Closed source drivers running in kernel address space ... realistically — by now we know that even open source drivers running in kernel space isn’t really that great an idea. MacOS/iOS are about to move the file system layer and any third party kernel extensions out of kernel space and into user space — it seems to me an inevitable necessity that the notion that “hardware interfaces need drivers in the kernel” is going to have to die ... the time has arrived where hardware components (other than cpu and memory) need to be viewed as user space programs that the kernel talks to when the kernel wants to...
There's a difference between "can sometimes have negative value" and "can never, ever have any intrinsic worth". You're confusing the two here.

> Do you think the immigrant parents that own a Chinese restaurant open seven days a week make it to any of their kids school functions or camping trips? Are they being irreparably damaged?

Based on my experience going to college with a few kids like that, yes. They all resented their childhood and the fact that the only way to see their parents was to work in the restaurant.
I don’t know the complete details of Jehovah’s Witnesses. But then not celebrating birthdays along with not celebrating [almost] any other major fun holiday among things does seem to be a definite negative aspect.

I’ve read if you accuse someone in the religion of abuse and the only thing you have is he said she said, then the accuser is essentially iced out and ostracized from their religious culture/society. This includes children.

Unless I’m mistaken, it does seem like the Witnesses are having children miss out on what you stated and in general seem like a bad example to bring up.

-

For both parents working all the time, it is a negative for most children.
there is no logic in this comparison. you can stare at a wall too.
That is true. However, those less performant chips, due to the way NAND storage functions, could easily be used in place of the newer chips. If you need twice as much performance, you just use 2 chips and you're done. Unless dealing with extreme size constraints like in a cell phone (where the high-performance NAND isn't even used for price reasons), there's no real reason to prefer a single chip over two. For the consumer, that is. If you're producing chips and trying to drive per-chip profit margin and trying to make your product look like CPUs and other products that have some complexity behind them, though, it's useful.

I can understand how NAND prices don't look suspect if you're not terribly familiar with the history and low-level factors of the industry, but if you really look into it, it's kind of ridiculous. The same companies price-fixed DRAM chips and got busted. Then they price-fixed LCD panels and got busted. Then they price-fixed DRAM chips again and got busted again. They were being investigated for price-fixing NAND chips, but the South Korean president shut down the investigation. Shortly before being ousted for rampant corruption (and then being bailed out of prison by Samsung). Anything that is present in such a gigantic variety of devices should cost almost nothing. That's just economics. It becomes commoditized. The materials involved and their rarity become the primary drivers of price. Comparing price per terabyte of storage between mechanical drives and NAND-based storage is the most telling to me personally. The technology that goes into modern high density mechanical hard drives is utter madness. They should be, by all accounts, astronomically expensive. They use helium, of which there is a global shortage. They coat the platters with rubidium and other rare materials. They include neodymium magnets. They include high precision mechanical motors that spin platters fast enough that the surface tension against the air becomes a significant factor (leading to the use of helium) and still maintain enough precision to be able to seek to a very precise spot in nanoseconds. Also, you've got 'hybrid' drives that include both the mechanical and NAND storage... which incurs almost no premium over the pure mechanical solution. Now they're beginning to produce drives with integrated lasers for heat-assisted magnetic recording. And these are still many times cheaper on a $/TB basis compared to.... just a dumb parallel array of NAND gates that don't require anything rare?
I'm glad I got bullied instead of going to a school like that.
I consciously refuse to consume it.

HN used to be better at avoiding paywalled articles, but it's become increasingly common in the last year (source: myself, consuming it since 2011).
I'm this way as well and for the longest time was worried I was handicapping myself.

Until I read "How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big"[1] which makes the strongest argument I've seen for having a "talent stack" and combining skills that aren't typically combined. Each skill increases your odds and essentially this boils down to Good + Good > Excellent. You can leverage a combination of average skills to great effect.

The author describes himself as mediocre at art, decent at writing a joke and having business experience... not that noteworthy in and of themselves, but mixed together resulted in Dilbert.

> This image should terrify you. It should be on billboards.

> As you can see, in either scenario, global emissions must peak and begin declining immediately. For a medium chance to avoid 1.5 degrees, the world has to zero out net carbon emissions by 2050 or so — for a good chance of avoiding 2 degrees, by around 2065.

> After that, emissions have to go negative. Humanity has to start burying a lot more carbon than it throws up into the atmosphere. There are several ways to sequester greenhouse gases, from reforestation to soil enrichment to cow backpacks, but the backbone of the envisioned negative emissions is BECCS, or bioenergy with carbon capture and sequestration.

> BECCS — raising, harvesting, and burning biomass for energy, while capturing and burying the carbon emissions — is unproven at scale. Thus far, most demonstration plants of any size attaching CCS to fossil fuel facilities have been over-budget disasters. What if we can’t rely on it? What if it never pans out?

...

> Check out that middle graphic. If we really want to avoid 1.5 degrees, and we can’t rely on large-scale carbon sequestration, then the global community has to zero out its carbon emissions by 2026.

To state the obvious, we will not reach 0 CO2 emissions in the next 7 years. Everyone better strap in, because it only gets worse from here.
I think by just watching some good cinematography and paying close attention to details. Eventually you start seeing patterns and certain techniques used everywhere, then you start noticing movies intentionally trying to be meta and subverting those patterns and techniques, and that’s where the big eye openers start.

A bit less visual, but that’s how it happened to me with music. There was even some guy on reddit who decided to go through the entire history of hip hop and listen to every single influential album chronologically [1]. From what i remember him describing, it was a completely different experience listening to newer hip hop after going through all the earlier works, as a lot of it was built through the same techniques of self-referencing and trying to be meta.

Well U238 is still a heavy metal and as such pretty poisonous. (As is the rest in the kit.) So most likely the samples are encased in glass, however one should be pretty certain that that glass does not get damaged.
I’m the same age, with the same questions, and the same uncertainty. So you’re not alone.

Maybe it has to do with the growing realization that we don’t have unlimited time? I’m not sure.

The premise of your movie looks fun. Where can I watch or rent it?
So what? Trees don't live forever. As soon as they die and rot, that CO2 is right back in the atmosphere. This is not a real plan, it's some feelgood video clickbait.
Honest question: since you think absolute surveillance in schools is beneficial, what about society at large? Should we have cameras in every possible corner of the world as a crime deterrent? If not, what should be the cutoff? Schools only? All places with a high density of kids?
It's kind of hard to take this article about the future seriously, given that it doesn't even get the past right. Claiming "the pipeline problem has been debunked" - has it? And saying that Pao's lawsuit meant anything, considering she (as an individual) lost it for obvious reasons.

Also, this quote from Pao: "And since gender is non-binary, at least 5% of a company’s workforce should identify as such" Eh? How does this follow?

Huge supporter of climate change action, but scientifically is there any basis for the idea that current models point to human extinction? (Don't answer if you don't have a hard source, but I'd like what the projected point is for that)
Yeah, not really worth it.

A rank-and-file engineer at Google already earns $200k to $500k.

This is a C-level at a large company. I'd say $500K isn't much.

Very dumb decision by CIO, to be honest.

Short answer, because I really have to get some sleep.

You assume people are incentivized by price, but people are incentivized by status. That's why they buy fake Rolexes and put themselves in extreme debt.

Connect CO_2 emissions with status.
Yet they’re in college. Their parents having prioritized work over their kids undoubtedly will allow those kids to live an immensely better life than they would have otherwise. There’s millions of people in the world that would trade places with them in a heartbeat.

One of my fears is that my kids will learn these bad American ideas from media. I saw my daughter watching a Disney show (Bunk’d), where a high achieving Asian girl was telling her parents they “pushed her too hard.” No wonder China is eating our lunch.

I had a 1970 version of the Gilbert chemistry set. It was pretty good, not quite as cool as the Kosmos one. I still have a few remnants of it.

It was just before the end of chemistry sets.

So is e.g. lead. And yes, like chemical kits, these are targeted for kids who already learned not to swallow the components and materials. :)
You're right. It's all about how we set our values. Like for some perhaps spending B'day with the kids is more valuable for some (including my family) birthday is just another day in the month.

Are younger generations in the age of social media who are eager to share their b'day celeb pics set their value right? That's a thing to be pondered upon.

Back on topic, though: thankfully the new Air has an Escape key and enough grunt to develop on (the MacBook being underpowered for some tasks). I was not looking forward to exiting the Apple/OSX ecosystem for my next laptop.
When a system like that is hacked and the unblurred images of pre-teens undressing are published online, and one or more kill themselves over it, will it have been worth it?
Parts of the agreement aren’t enforceable but not everything?

I’ve seen things like venue and arbitration rules established and persist in otherwise junk agreements.

I see a lot of contracts from customers buying our dev services with weird language in it. The opposing counsel would have to know it not enforceable but it’s there anyway. Sometimes it’s silly stuff like “no open source software or code” yet it needs to be MEAN stack running on Ubuntu in AWS.
Sky CREDIT SOLUTION fixed my credit
I’ve actually been through a lot trying to fix my credit. I had bankruptcy since 2015, with evictions and a Judgement. I couldn’t qualify for a loan or get a home. Life was upside town as I had to put up with a lot of hardship. Luckily for me I came across a post on Trulia about SKY CREDIT SOLUTION. I gave them a try, they didn’t demand much. God used them to rescue as they removed the bankruptcy, evictions and Judgement. My credit score is now 788. This is not a drill.

The other one says a similar thing. They both seem to say that for the first year or two having a stay at home parent is beneficial, but beyond that it doesn't really matter.
