That raises many questions. Are taxes and maintenance costs shared proportionally? Who gets to decide when to call the plumber? If you fail to pay your rent, can they evict you? What happens to your share then? If there's no mortgage, there's no lien to foreclose on. Can you sublet? Can you sell your share on the open market, or only back to the company, at whatever price they decide is fair market value?
That's all well and good, but can you also anonymously buy some blow with cash when you want to party?
REALLY worth reading the Graham Poulter comment in the original post about the difference between spatial and temporal variations.

The idea that you can hard-code everything assumes there is no variation in deployments and use of a piece of software.

If that were the case, you're talking about a SUPER simple piece of software. So sure, hard code everything.

But as soon as you're talking about a piece of software that will be used in multiple locations and with possibly different release / roll-out schedules, "there will be issues".

They're both symptoms of the true underlying problem, which is that the system is more about corporate profits than about making people healthy.

I think the market is probably there regardless. It's not necessarily an easy market, but it's a class of service that fulfills needs and I think demand will be there if you identify and solve the right problems.

Enterprise is hard though, for total outsiders.
The problem with this argument is who decides whats harmful and whats legitimate society vs fringe society.

We might both agree that your aunt's beliefs are harmful but the anti-vax society that your aunt is a part of will argue that us blindly following experts is harmful.

Should facebook be the ones to decide whats harmful to society? If yes don't be surprised if they consider what they are doing not harmful.
Yes, Krebs is a journalist. I don’t think that’s a big secret.

I run Red Hat's Developer program, our developer tools portfolio and our developer relations team. When I first heard the news I had a similar reaction. But I've worked with IBM'ers in open source projects for years and they've always been great contributors. Perhaps more importantly both IBM and Red Hat are very committed to not changing our open culture and open source development model. That's been the source of our growth and why IBM felt we were worth 34B. Ultimately words are cheap, so if you see Red Hat's actions in the open source community changing please say something - I for one am committed to continuing to work the open source way.

The easiest thing that occurs to me would be a on-phone "message virus scanner" that self-updates and checks incoming messages against a threat database after decryption, but before passing them to the rest of the system.

Architecture-wise some thought should be given to keeping iOS from being DoS'd by the crash/respawn of any service.

Also, looking at the "assuming it's a string" line from the problem description, Apple needs to make an investment look through the codebase for this same error in other guises.

That's what occurs to me off the top of my head anyway.

I like the Walrus best," said Alice, "because you see he was a little sorry for the poor oysters."

"He ate more than the Carpenter, though," said Tweedledee. "You see he held his handkerchief in front, so that the Carpenter couldn't count how many he took: contrariwise."

"That was mean!" Alice said indignantly. "Then I like the Carpenter best—if he didn't eat so many as the Walrus."

"But he ate as many as he could get," said Tweedledum.

This was a puzzler. After a pause, Alice began, "Well! They were both very unpleasant characters—
And to give even more context, it was $170.00 back in Oct 29 when it was first announced. Thus, if you bought then and sold now, you'd have a 11.7% return in 8 months. The S&P index would've returned 12% in comparison.

Not risk-free by any means, but almost certainly less risk than buying the S&P index during that time period. There was a reason Warren Buffett parked a ton of cash into Red Hat stock after it was bought.
Did you read the article? There's a non-zero cost for devs dealing with all the chargebacks and finding out if a user bought a legit key. That's not a low touch interaction.

Plenty of proof and devs talking about it in the article and on Twitter. Rami Ismail is well known and has been pretty clear about how much overhead these types of a abusive companies cost them.

Doing it that way results in a nuisance prompt from Zoom every time you launch it complaining that it can't launch the opener.

Here's a modified version that deletes the app, removes the LoginItem if it exists, and makes the ~/.zoomus directory unwritable, which achieves the same thing but avoids the nag:

killall ZoomOpener
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to delete login item "ZoomOpener"'
rm -rf ~/.zoomus/ZoomOpener.app

They can't buy online, and so no one is advertising to them yet they are heavily using the Facebook platform. Facebook is trying to recruit them into the online marketplace by giving them a seamless way to spend internationally online, so that advertisers will buy more ads.

Whether or not it will work I have no idea, I don't know the markets that well. But their motives are transparent, the rest of the spiel is just "change the world" drum beating and cleaning the dialogue.

My girlfriend works for an energy middleman company like this. It's actually way more complicated than you'd expect because everything is based on an 80s (cough Thatcher cough) text-based data interchange format (she calls them "flows", not sure of the actual name). Also there are a hell of a lot of weird and legacy stuff around electricity meters. Did you know some properties share meters for example?

Also since these companies are fungible middlemen, margins are very narrow.
Coincidentally, we started using this same book a week ago with my son. It is FANTASTIC! We've struggled with other methods but this one is working amazingly well. The best part is that my son's motivation to work on reading went from zero to off the charts. He's constantly on me to do more reading!

Advertising "100% renewable energy" means that there is enough renewable energy produced to meet demand at all times.

It can’t possibly be true, unless the opinion is coming from the slant that to be successful one must publish internationally —which seems odd. But I guess if you look at it from a Hollywood point of view where for s movie to be successful its international box office take should beat the domestic box office take, I guess that makes sense, but only because that is how they armed defining success themselves. That’s not necessary. In film, you have native Czech and Norwegian and Taiwanese film. They don’t need to become international blockbusters to bd successful.
...all of which is because the drivers/config are proprietary
I hope so, but how will IBM make money then?

The second person to sign up can just click any existing option that isn't the one they entered and hit "decide it" to make that the winner before the other participants arrive. Anyone who arrives later can 'disagree' by not clicking the agree checkbox but there isn't a way to vote for a different option unless I've missed something fundamental in the UI. I guess this would work if everyone agrees to wait for the other people and then vote at the same time, but if doesn't seem to work very well otherwise.
Just to correct you, this bug doesn’t happen during an install, it happens when Window users run a build. Builds were badly broken 1/7 of the time because of some shady code that really shouldn’t have made it through any kind of review. And yeah, I’ve written some shitty code too, but can’t say that I’ve bricked an important tool 1/7 of the time in the name of a sketchy donation banner.
Also, most users of zoom are job applicants - so theyre more likely to care less abt security because they really need to be in that interview session.
I presume your wife follows the national curriculum. If she does the subjects children study, the content they learn and their progression within that curriculum are mandated. Children have extremely limited freedom to explore within those narrow guidelines. They are not free to pursue their own interests, to decide what they want to do with their time or to spend the amount of time playing that they would naturally. They are not free to socialise across age groups and they learn little to nothing about the deep, abiding interests of other children in the environment where they spend most of their waking hours for the majority of their childhood. They are not in any meaningful way free.
...no thanks. The author already mentions links you can use to check literally no reason to advertise this unless you, OP, are being malicious and/or didn't read the actual article.
That part just doesn’t seem very responsive. Unless Zoom is recommending that everyone should turn it OFF, and urgently releasing a patch to make OFF the default, why does it matter that the vulnerability is in an optional feature rather than a mandatory one?

Docker is a great solution for people that like docker. However, there is still a large barrier of entry to using the docker image as compared to a php5 implementation.

Probably Ubuntu will be bought by Microsoft.

With the cloud, especially containers, there is little future in a business that involves paying for operating systems licenses.

Most interesting is probably supporting legacy versions of operating systems for customers who value compatibility to be able to continue to run existing applications with the minimum changes.
The whole reinstallation thing freaked me out, since I did try Zoom a while back, but apparently my own uninstall process kept the reinstallation hack at bay.

By this I mean:

I have no local web server running on 19421; and

Your link doesn't launch or reinstall anything for me.

Now, something I do that most people probably don't is periodically check StartupItems as well as the LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons folders, so I can remove anything left over.

I do not mean to trivialize this problem, because what Zoom has done here is egregious and unforgivable, BUT is it accurate to say that the reinstall behavior depends on

1, usage of Chrome and
2, the presence of a StartupItem / LaunchAgent / LaunchDaemon?

I ask because it didn't work for me, even though I still had the ~/.zoomus shit in place (obvs, I don't anymore).

I just want to make sure I understand it properly, and that I've taken the necessary steps to prevent Zoom's unwelcome return.
Apparently it "crushes". It doesn't "crash". It "crushes".
Why is that something the devs have to deal with? Shouldn't that be Steam's job, or G2As?
> Most think of it as base-10 [...] I'm surprised nobody has made a decent fixed point lib that is widely used already.

Note that fixed radix point does not solve the common issues with representing rational base 10 fractions. A base10 fixed radix solution would, but so would IEEE754's decimal64 spec, which would eliminate representation error when working exclusively in the context of base10 e.g finance, but these are not found in common hardware and do not help reduce propagation of error due to compounding with limited precision in any base.
Ask HN: What's the Future of Red Hat Developer Post IBM Acquisition?
> Rather than complaining

First of all, I doubt that writing yet another toolkit of my own would be the solution. How could I know that anyone would adopt it? And as for spending time contributing to an existing toolkit, which toolkit? I read about several per year here on HN. That's why I've been pleading with developers to use platform widgets, or cross-platform toolkits that wrap those widgets (like wxWidgets), wherever I can. But the replies on this thread have convinced me that sometimes, the platform widgets really do leave a lot to be desired. So, I don't know what to do instead.
It was the same in the situation I was talking about; all numbers that would always be integers because of their nature (and in the data source they came from, they were integers, there was no way this could ever have been floating point, or that the values ever had any non-0 digits after the comma). And well, they probably weren't 'idiots' in the absolute sense, in fact I'm 100% sure that they are much smarter (and/or just plain better humans in other ways) than I am in many respects.

My point was that many researchers can only cobble together somewhat barely working software by taking snippets from their undergraduate textbooks (or googling/stack overflowing, for those under 40), and have no idea about many/most of the underlying principles. If only they would recognize that, and leave the software development to professionals, instead of treating it as an inconsequential implementation detail that is beneath them. Then again, if they did, they wouldn't have to pay me what they do to fix it up afterwards. So meh?

There's a lot of problems with this statement and the "freedom vs. security" thing is not even the main one.

Why stop at flights, why not expect this in every facet of your daily life if deterring even one would-be hijacker or finding one mentally disturbed individual that wishes to do us harm is so valuable?

They're related. The way healthcare is paid causes inefficiencies. If you first need to check whether a patient is insured, and how they're insured, before you can start saving their life, that can cost valuable time and reduce life expectancy.

But there's no single problem hampering US healthcare, and therefore there's no single silver bullet that will fix it. Many healthcare systems have some problems, but US health care has a lot, and many of them need to be fixed in order to improve the situation.

But if I could point to a single underlying problem that causes many of the other problems, it's that the system is primarily designed to make profit, rather than to heal people.
For at least some of the lessons there are pretty comprehensive notes / transcripts linked in the column on the right.

I've used this a handful of times, actually!

I've mostly done it to determine a "next" IP address from a large range - i.e, what IP comes after 10.0.0.255, and how can I bound it between 10.0.0.30 and 10.0.1.128?

It's much easier to increment an integer, compare it to other integers, and then convert it back to an string-format IP than it is to implement those operations by "parsing" IP addresses.
Only insofar as that people usually do not complain. I’ve worked with software clients on OCR investigations that were prompted by far less substantial complaints.

I’m Brad Micklea and I lead Red Hat’s Developer Business Unit, which covers developer evangelism, our developer program at developers.redhat.com, and our developer tools. All these facets of our business, as with Red Hat more generally, will remain independent from IBM. This means that…

- You’ll still bump into our fantastic Red Hat developer relations team at events, meetups and keynotes.

- The Red Hat developer program—including the site, blog, and our social media channels—will remain independent and continue to focus on great open source software and culture.

- If you’re a member of the developer program, you’ll continue to enjoy free access to Red Hat software downloads, eBooks, events and great content.

I’m sure there is some nervousness in the developer community with this announcement. I welcome your questions and will be monitoring this thread and replying to as many as I can over the coming day or so.
Was a bit more than 10 years for me. I had coworkers struggling with netsnmp to build out a mock control plane for a new and exciting data center management platform. I whipped up a mocked out version with OTP in a really short time and eventually the mocked version was good enough to plug into the real backend so we shipped it.

It was elegant and clear!

Among people who pay attention to G2A, it seems to be pretty widely accepted that many sellers are using it to launder money rather than selling legitimately obtained keys. I wonder if any law enforcement agency has investigated this yet. G2A's people say that they will give proven fraudulent accounts' personal data to the authorities, but they also seem to stop short of saying that this has ever actually happened. It would be interesting to know what the practical disposition is there (e.g. if law enforcement leaves G2A alone because they catch a lot of sloppy carders).
The _actual_ business is a bit trickier than this would suggest, which is why loads of outfits go bankrupt.

The tricky part is that you need to buy long term energy supply contracts. Nobody will sell you 40MW of electricity right now, they want to sell you 40MWyears of power in 2020. But you only get paid by consumers for instantaneous power used, and only after they've used the power (very poor customers pay up front but they make negligible difference to your profitability although it wastes a lot of their money).

If I buy £4 billion of energy, and bring in £5 billion over ten years selling it to consumers, then I'm up £1 billion but I needed to borrow that money for ten years! Worse, if I buy £4 billion of energy, but meanwhile markets change and I can only sell it for £3 billion over ten years I'm going to _lose_ a billion pounds and my investors can see what's happening long in advance. Ouch.

You need a LOT of capital to get into this business safely. If you don't have that capital you will go bankrupt the first time consumer prices fall and you can't absorb the difference. This is happening in the industry right now in the UK.

E.On owns a lot of generators, which is both a capital intensive business (they own these very expensive wind turbines and stuff) and also a potential hedge against the consumer side losing too much money. If consumer prices fall, E.On's consumer side can share the pain with its generator business.
The real benefit of this is that for the next hundred years or so, you can continue to set your VHS Recorder's clock / calendar, which has only a two digit year. Some of them display weak day calculated from the year. So always setting the calendar year back by 28 years, for years after 2000 can extend your VHS unit's life an extra century or so.
