Sorry, you are correct; what I had in mind and should have written was more along the lines of "within the same order of magnitude." I'm guessing/hoping India will be caught up by 2035-2040. Anyways, I'm not denying that there are benefits to top-down, non-democratic planning in the early stages of economic development. Again Taiwan, and its use of eminent domain in the 1970s, 80s. But I don't think long-term it leads to the most stable & innovative society. Last but not least, I don't agree with your assertion that the "best democratic examples have fallen short of China's success." How are we measuring that? GPD per capita? Life expectancy? General happiness? Anecdotally, I've spent enough time in the PRC these past few years to tell you that on what I'd consider all the relevant dimensions, Taiwan, Japan, or South Korea respectively just crush the average quality of life & wealth levels you get in China's Tier 1 cities today.
Heard from Google, the biggest trends impacting PPC are privacy and automation
A service provider could check the API for the signup email and if previously compromised could challenge the signup with additional CAPTCHA steps to detect bot activity. They could check email+PW entered against leaked pairs and prevent you from registering with a known-compromised PW.

Your bank could check emails attached to customer accounts and work with affected customers to ensure their bank account access is secure.

You employer could check for leaks of accounts using corporate domains. They could check leaked passwords against known last 5 to see if there are active threats.

If I’ve learned anything in decades of working in infosec, it’s to never underestimate the ingenuity of a determined attacker.

Read through any modern multi stage remote exploit. The amount of engineering required to pull these stunts off - reliably no less - is truly staggering, and yet attackers continue to innovate and develop new techniques and even more complex exploits.

And you overestimate the competency of the defenders: sysadmin? What small business has a dedicated sysadmin? It’s not like we are talking about running a global hosted chat service like slack here. (Oh wait...)

BTW Persistence for the key in memory is trivial: create a shared memory segment and store the key there, with a ttl.
Doctors are the highest paid career, if you have no concept of opportunity cost. To earn a surgeon’s salary, you need a surgeon’s training. In the US, that means 4 years undergrad, 4 years of medical school, 4 years of medical residency, and often a few more years of specialty fellowship. My wife will have racked up $300k of debt and done 14 years of training before earning her first year of a “surgeon’s salary”. I suspect a tech salary earned 10-14 years earlier, and earned for 10-14 years running, without debt, combined with smart savings and the miracle of compound interest, will beat her every time.

I, too, wonder if you could build a high-quality team where you're free to choose the best people available, solely on proven ability to pilot, solve problems under pressure, and general engineering skills. (Collins was West Point and Harvard, Buzz Aldrin has a Sci.D. from MIT, Neil Armstrong was an experienced pilot and degrees from Purdue and USC). And that doesn't begin to show the skills of the leadership of the ground crew....

He was a wonderful man. I took 6.xxx with him and liked it so much that I started attending his group meetings and eventually asked him to be part of my thesis committee.

Some of the best mentoring I have received on the inner workings of academia came from Patrick. A great example: his theory of presentations, where he had a wonderful template: Vision, Step and News, i.e., the grand theory of your research, the concrete steps you're taking in the next year or so and the latest findings. He gave me that advice two days before my defense and it worked like a charm.

A great teacher, a great mentor and a great human being. I will miss him.
Well, that's the thing. FB didn't necessarily case $5B in damages, they broke the consent agreement. Actual damages might be, relative to the fine, minimal. It's hard to say how much monetary damage Equifax actually caused, but I thin it's not unreasonable for a primary tenet of setting fine levels the hurt, but aren't so punitive the the company must shutdown unless the activity was so egregious that a return to legitimate business may not even be possible or practical. Sort of like, in banking, the difference between leveling lots of fines on WellsFargo for their shenanigans but lettings Lehman Brothers just fail and go bankrupt. (I know, opinions differ on how these things should have gone down, and on whether Equifax should have been forced to wind down and parcel of its services to other entities. I'm just trying to explain why actual damages isn't always the sole consideration.)
That really depends on what you're doing.

In my experience, when Chrome is being a memory hog I can swap about 2/3 of its memory out with zero performance impact. As long as I can swap that away, I never run out of memory. If I can't swap it to disk, I have problems. I don't think that qualifies as "too little ram".

So in this case performance is fine, security should be an issue of encryption not disabling, and the SSD is not going to wear out because of an extra <1% average utilization.
"You don't get to exist if you screw up that badly" is a great way to send a message to an industry. Sorry, but Equifax is in a position to be a gatekeeper for data of people who haven't asked or given direct permission for them to have it. They should have gotten the death penalty as a corporation and their remaining data should have been seized.
If you have no bad thoughts to hide, you have nothing to fear!
I should have added “all else being equal”. In context of the question I was trying to answer this still holds.
Huh, I just found an article [1] which puts Microsoft Azure solidly at #2, behind AWS. It's interesting, I did not realize this was the case. But I do wonder how they calculated that if Azure numbers aren't public.

%of profits it fraught with ways to hide profits. Even gross revenue can be gamed, albeit with less efficacy. More practical is something like X dollars per infraction, with the ability for regulating bodies to exert some professional judgement that lets them determine if the culprit's infractions were severe enough to let the per-infraction cost put them out of business all together.

Sure they can. Ask Equifax’s lawyers how much it would take for them introduce their SSNs and credit reports into the record. Divide by the number of attorneys and multiply by 145 million people affected.

>The Death Star was constructed in space, a realm where massive things (moons, planets) tend to take on a spherical shape due to gravity. But when Orlin did the calculations, he found that the size at which objects take on the shape of a sphere is about 400 kilometers in diameter, which is significantly larger than the ~160km Death Star.That's why Orlin's hypothetical Imperial team physicist keeps insisting the Death Star should be more lumpy, shaped like an asteroid. Orlin's conclusion: "The Death Star is not nearly big enough. But maybe Imperial steel is very, very dense and thus goes spherical much faster."

So the death star isn't big enough to collapse into a sphere by itself, except that's totally irrelevant because it's an artificial construct and not a natural object. The author of this book cannot possibly be as much of an idiot as the article is making him sound.

Zram is nice when you're barely using it, but every time I've seen it get low on memory it degrades quite abruptly, much worse than ssd swap.
Looks like you got downvoted a bit on this, but it's an excellent point. I fully think FB deserved what they got, and would not have balked at more. But Equifax, even with a fine higher than FB's relative to market cap, still seems to have gotten off lighter.
Eh, I kind of have all that, depending on where you draw the line for distance and seriousness. I'm in Brevard County, FL. So not counting Orlando? OK...

There is an international airport. It has seasonal flights to Ottawa, Toronto–Billy Bishop, and Windsor. Those are in Canada.

There is a professional sports team, the USSSA Pride women′s professional fast-pitch softball team. Another is the Brevard County Cocoa Expos, a member of the Women's Premier Soccer League.

There are top-rate museums. One has a Saturn V, a Space Shuttle, a Saturn 1B, the Apollo 14 Command Module, space suits, moon rocks, and related stuff. Another has the Gemini 2 spacecraft and a bunch of missiles. Another has spacesuits and Sigma 7, the fifth manned Mercury spacecraft.
Debug Any Lambda Function Locally
The training requirements aren’t much different in other OECD countries. Their med schools and residencies are still at capacity. Their outcomes are better and their doctors are paid much less, but still more than most others.
I hate to say it, but I miss the reviews+DVD days, where I discovered a huge wealth of foreign directors and their films. And there was even something exciting about DVD envelopes arriving in the mail aftet a short wait, building out the queue that would last a few months, and mailing it back wasn't a nightmare.

The loss of ratings was a telltale sign it'd gone mainstream and impersonal, but another one was the autoplay, which cannot be turned off. That's incredibly obnoxious, and loud, as previews somehow always seem to be.

Is this all an inevitable consequence of growth and the evolution of mass content or a set of bad decisions?

Elaborate Scam: ‘Con Queen of Hollywood’ Still on the Loose
Netflix was so great when their streaming service started, and even back when they only did DVDs by mail. It was so cool that I had access to so many movies and shows in once place.

Now that every broadcast company has their own streaming service with their own fees, streaming is almost as bad as network TV. (at least with streaming you don't have to watch reruns unless you want)

I've gone full into Plex now. That seems to be the only way to have a watchable selection of stuff in one place now.
Now, what is the (currently accepted) best way to store that refresh token in a ReactJS frontend? I send the JWT via Cookies as “httpOnly; Secure”, would the refresh token go the same route? If so, wouldn’t compromising of the JWT also mean the same for the refresh token? And therefore give the person unlimited access until key-rotation?

Or, like with Oauth2, is the idea that JWT gets transmitted back to the server with every request, and the refresh token only when needed and therefore having a slightly smaller risk of intercepting both keys (assuming the refresh token is not stored in cookies)?
> For a number of Key Questions, we identified no studies meeting inclusion criteria. Where studies were available, the strength of evidence was rated no higher than low, due to imprecision and methodological shortcomings, with the exception of buccal or intranasal fentanyl[...]. No study evaluated effects of long-term opioid therapy versus no opioid therapy.

> No study evaluated the effectiveness of risk mitigation strategies on outcomes related to overdose, addiction, abuse, or misuse. Evidence was insufficient to evaluate benefits and harms of long-term opioid therapy in high-risk patients or in other subgroups.

> CONCLUSIONS: Evidence on long-term opioid therapy for chronic pain is very limited but suggests an increased risk of serious harms that appears to be dose-dependent. More research is needed to understand long-term benefits, risk of abuse and related outcomes, and effectiveness of different opioid prescribing methods and risk mitigation strategies.

This doesn't show they aren't effective.
Plus they aren't involved in any election scandals which certainly helps....

Yes, plus their perceived censoring of right-leaning content (real or imagined).

But between the election stuff and their attempt to setup a currency whose monetary policy would be governed by a group of wealthy corps and partly based in another country regulated by a foreign body... these are things that touch on the sovereignty of the US, and no government wants internal competition on that front.
"A mathematician is a machine for turning coffee into theorems"
On a shin splints related side note. Something not sure intuitive for non runners. If possible take the 1 minute-ish analysis at the shop to find out how your feet roll while running. If they roll to much inside (pronate) your appropriate shoe has more support in that area. If you roll too much outside (supenate), they add it on the outside. If you dont roll too much, shoes for either or these can cause shin splints or stress fractures in the medium to long term (still preferable to inactivity). Most of the time this is the key thing to consider when buying running shoes.
Well, I can tell the Netflix CEO why they have lost me as a subscriber:

- Their original content is not terribly appealing to me.

- They lack much of the content I want to watch (and in Germany the selection of content is much, much smaller to begin with).

- They have a horrendous user interface. Perhaps I’m in the minority, but I like lists. And even one big list with all the content Netflix offers would be far superior to their interface. I’m not interested in their recommendation algorithms or their peculiar categorization, I want to sift through their metadata on my own terms. Give me a big, filterable list. (That is something that bugs me about every streaming service: you are heavily restricted when it comes to searching and filtering.)

I have found that my local library has actually a very good selection of DVDs and Blu-rays. So they have become a reliable source of content. Other than that I occasionally buy used or new media cheaply. And for special interests (Anime) I have the net.
Yes, intent minus execution equals some level of incompetence. Which (I guess?) is better than never having the intent to begin with, but it's sort of a distinction without a difference. "I wanted to fix my brakes but the brake shop was closed, that's why I got into a car crash" isn't really an endearing argument to the other parties involved or the regulators (Police in this case) that deal with the fallout.

I doubt the outcomes being better has much to do with the lower physician pay. But it wouldn’t surprise me that you can “get away” with paying doctors less, while maintaining outcomes above some level.

My question is: why bother? Or, put another way, what if we paid them more, reduced their hours, and had more of them? What might that do for outcomes — especially since physician salaries are a rounding error of total healthcare system costs, and since the best and brightest working in medicine means more patient lives saved and more physician happiness?
The way I understand it, the aggregators don’t pay at all well. Bands and producers make their money playing gigs these days and try to make it big where there is mega money in everything including the aggregator exclusives. Generally the aggregators pay badly, but do mean exposure. TV shows can’t work like that, they have much higher overhead and actually need to be paid.
There is not much substance in this article. The most interesting part seems to be the slide with the milestones. They seem to be three or four prototypes away from ignition. How many years is that? How many years from the ignition prototype to something that actually produces more energy than it consumes?
You must be putting up with a lot, sorry to hear that.

For as much as opioids are demonized, there are a lot of people out there who can’t function without them and use them responsibly. Of course they are getting caught up in the moral panic and either being forced to stop taking them or significantly reducing their dose, resulting in a much lower quality of life.
When you’re ready to share, would you kindly ping me? As a power org user and Clojure programmer I am intrigued by your description^^

It would seem so, with a trusted fourth party (the US treasury) acting as the RNG.

But after the initial exchange, another random element is generated: the bill is torn in half, so if you want to forge your part, you'll have to tear it in just the right way to match the other part. This is probably going to be even more difficult than forging dollar bills in the first place.
So a dollar bill is an inexpensive (on the scale of crime) sheet of paper pre-printed with a unique number that's somewhat difficult to forge. If you rip it up, that number won't be used again.

How are they making use of this feature set? I'd like to see a diagram with arrows and stuff.
In the article, they mention the refresh token needs to be revokable which I assume means that it is stored in a table in a database or other data store. When the user logs out, the refresh token is removed from the table (i.e. it is revoked).

The JWT server would check to see that the refresh token probably stored in the browser with a cookie or localStorage is valid before sending the new JWT.
More dark stuff. In the 1950's through the early 1970's drug companies were heavily in the business of pushing amphetamines on the public. Enormous amounts were prescribed. And abuse was rampant.

Ever notice how anti-drug propaganda describes the effects of 'marijuana dependency'? Yeah it's describing the effects of amphetamine dependency. I'm convinced attempting to shift the blame from legal amphetamines to street drugs was the other part of the drug war.

Ask HN: How do I ask someone senior to me to be my mentor?
I lead a forward-thinking technology delivery group within an otherwise stodgy enterprise. The group Chief Digital Officer (very senior) and I share the same thinking (CI/CD, SaaS, MVP, etc) in how to deliver software within this enterprise.

We've met in a formal setting and I think I made a good impression on him. We've both been with the firm a short time. I sent him an email after we met saying I was happy to meet him, he responded with the same and told me to stop by whenever.

I've never had a mentor before and think he would be a terrific mentor for me, and I a terrific mentee for him.

What steps should I take that will give me the best chance of forming this formal mentor/mentee relationship?

I think the other side of the horror is reflected in the employment to population statistics. Look past the statistics and you see millions of hopeless and despondent people. Obama and Trump don't care that these people have reliable employment and enough resources to get though the day without fear. Given that why would we assume they care about people OD'd on opiates?
