I've certainly seen this opinion around Disney, especially around how much they're milking Star Wars releases, and the recent run of live-action remakes. It's not a universal thing, but "Enormous media company Disney churns out nostalgia-baiting cash-ins" is definitely a complaint that you even see among fairly reputable reviewers.

The biggest example of this was the "rerelease" of Infinity War to add a couple new scenes, and charging full price for people to rewatch a multi-hour movie for 5-10 mins more content.
The actual "bug" is that Facebook did not have sufficient controls in place to even detect this type of brute-force attack, much less make it impossible to attempt in the first place. Facebook seems (IN THIS INSTANCE) to have appreciated the white-hat nature of this and awarded the bug bounty, but it very well might not have. And certainly other organizations don't take nearly as friendly stances. Generally, I wouldn't bet on most organizations seeing brute-force attacks as in-scope for bug bounties - this is by no means legal advice though.
Even if it can be used is it any worse than existing viruses?
I am fortunate to have my own office. That's right. 4 walls and a door. However I still find myself frustrated because the project managers refuse to use headsets and use the speakerphones all day.
The shows that got them famous have implied homosexuality. They also made other stuff, but Hyouka isn't exactly the first thing people think of when talking about KyoAni. Also, Hibike definitely falls into the implied homosexuality category. I've got a friend who only watches it for this reason.

It's true that you can trace their change further back, but at least they did Haruhi until 2010. Since then they completely divorced with their previous fanbase, though. The people liking FMP and Haruhi, who gave them traction in their early years and who were disappointed by KyoAni favoring other types of anime, instead.
Ask HN: How tech/team leads work with staff/principal engineer?
My company is introducing staff/principal engineer roles but things are not very clear. I was wondering how it works at other companies. Are the tech/team leads the bosses of staff/principal?

I think the problem that people are running into with CORS is that their webserver was created before CORS was a thing, so it's tough to configure it correctly. What you want to do is if you allow the provided Origin, echo it back in Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

Envoy has a plugin to do this (envoy.cors), allowing you to configure allowed origins the way people want (["*.example.com", "foo.com"]) and then emitting the right headers when a request comes in. It also emits statistics on how many requests were allowed or denied, so you can monitor that your rules are working correctly. If you are using something else, I recommend just having your web application do the logic and supply the right headers. (You should also be prepared to handle an OPTIONS request for CORS preflight.)
wow, that site’s ads are so invasive I can barely read the content
They have to justify that bloated stock price. YouTube is a huge competitor and FREE.

> The experience feels the same, and there's no real novelty

That sounds like Stellaris, tbh. Eventually it just turns into waiting for things to complete so you can launch the next war. And without the historical immersion (EUIV, VIC II), or personal connection (CKII) of other Paradox games it just feels like a complicated menu simulator.
Don't we spend less time at work than ever? Makes more sense to me that loneliness would be caused by too much free time rather than not enough.
Except that electric utilities absolutely charge for the same electrons at different rates based on the type of usage, differentiated residential vs. commercial vs. industrial rates, differentiated by time of day, and even charging different rates for the same electrons delivered at the same time to two neighboring residential houses depending on if the residence is heated with electric versus gas!
But do you trust that commit time is going to actually be accurate? There si no telling how many off commit hours go into a pre-merge
This is what we have that I rather enjoy. Half a dozen programmers in a room with cubicles, just have to lean over to talk to somebody (teams are next to each other).

Further discussions are moved to the conference room which is dedicated to us programmers, with a TV we can cast to, etc.

Off topic discusssions or lengthy ones are expected to take place in the conference or break room.

We have ms teams (bleh) for trivial questions.
Even with the BBC though there are conflicts of interest.

For example, when the BBC introduced compulsory logins for its iPlayer service so that it could, amongst other things, form political profiles on users just in case viewers decided to be in the audience of it's political shows such as Question Time.

I distinctly remember hearing the BBC News team interviewing the BBC's own staff and coming to the consensus with themselves that they were "striking the right balance".

There were no descenting voices on the programme and discussion about why creating political profiles for people might be a bad thing.
I don't know what you're looking for but Dan Carlin's Hardcore History is excellent for a very long form podcast.
I see that rule as avoiding the search for perfection - otherwise you might spend hours picking up different stones and contemplating as if it were a jigsaw puzzle, when in actual fact there are 'solutions' everywhere.
Physically you are right. Mentally, maybe not. If you are in an information based job like writing or programming, then it’s very easy to carry your job around in your head. I may only program for a few hours a day, but the problems definitely come home with me. It takes a considerable amount of self awareness to both realize this and stop it.
I guess only white male programmers are famous in programming ?

Good job further propagating the stereotype.
That would be a slight over-reaction don't you think?
This ended up not being a problem with the GPS system at all -- it was actually a certain brand of receivers not dealing correctly with leap seconds[1] -- or, specifically, that it's been a while since the last leap second, which caused one of the GPS parameters (basically 'how long since/until a leap second' to roll over, which is not normally a problem, but thanks to a receiver bug, it was, on these specific receivers. This was covered in some detail on the LEAPSECS mailing list.[2]

"The people dead did not choose to die. They were killed by someone. And that person killed people and intended to kill people. By our society's definition, this person is mentally ill- they are ill because they have decided to kill people when their own life is not in imminent danger."

I guess all those soldiers who invaded Iraq, for example, were mentally ill, as were the politicians who ordered them to. As were all those involved in the many other invasions of other countries when they themselves weren't in any imminent danger.

Same goes for guards who shoot to kill escaping prisoners and police who shoot to kill people to keep them from killing others while their own lives are not in danger. Then there are executioners who legally kill people sentenced to death by a court of law. All of these people must be mentally ill, by your definition.

You should distinguish your definition from society's definition, because by society's definition all of these people are not mentally ill. In fact, society often rewards them with honors and praise, calling them heroes or at least paying them for their work and legally protecting them from prosecution for the killing they do. The suggestion to lock up such people in mental institutions because they're "mentally ill" would be considered laughable, insulting, and not worthy of serious consideration by the vast majority of society.

All of this is not to say that any of the above are morally equivalent to the killings that were perpetrated in this tragedy, nor is this to claim that the perpetrator is not mentally ill (it's for psychologists to decide that), but if the perpetrator is mentally ill then they can't be branded as such merely because they "killed people and intended to kill people.. when their own life is not in imminent danger" without also branding as mentally ill all those mentioned above.
The general public doesn't have the knowledge or even imagination to understand that sharing your information with nameless/faceless organizations may have downsides re: privacy. The others have been brainwashed well enough to believe that only criminals need privacy, so they don't care. By now using the "I have nothing to hide" example is cliche but it's literally the response I _always_ get when I bring up privacy concerns. Takes me about 12 seconds to prove to them how wrong they are.

> The Job has completely taken over as a driving force in evaluating choices. The average person has to consider all options in the light of both the current employer and the specter of tomorrow’s.

How is this different than what the majority of civilization had to do throughout history? People have always clung to their profession as their identity. Hell, people used to name themselves after their profession.

If that is the problem, then push for fewer hours worked per week.
Neither is true. Corporations are not fiduciaries for their shareholders and they do not have a fiduciary obligation to maximize shareholder value or even to protect their shareholders' investments.

The board of a corporation is tasked with protecting the shareholders' investments by overseeing the selection of a CEO and corporate structural issues. And that's it.

Yes. People are remarkably dumb and gullible.
A Pony bottle could fit under any worktable or coin and would provide pure air for five minutes or so, probably enough to avoid the toxic fumes in the stairs trap, or to alleviate the poisoning at least, and maybe to save two or three lifes if shared. Most people can stop breathing for another minute if avoid the need to cough (the dive mask regulator atached to the bottle will help)

Price around $170, oxygen portable cans are smaller and cheaper, around $50.

With people so disciplined and educated as japanese, a shared standard scuba dive bottle could had saved most of this people until reaching a safe vented place. The dismayed people could had been dragged outside also by the other.

The problem is that a scuba bottle could explode after catching fire unatended, but in a vicious fire the building will be damaged in any case and people goes first.
In fairness, when you use an app like this, why would you (as the avg user) ever think they would be doing something nefarious with it? Especially digital products where the "magic" happens out of sight in the bg.

People DO want privacy and I bet there will be lawsuits about this.
I feel like there's a gap in the "tip jar" market. I have a lot of podcasts for which I'd happily pay about 10 to 25 cents per episode, but it's not trivial to do. If it were, it would take a few thousand people to do so -- which isn't a small audience, but not enormous.

Currently there's a voluntary "if you like us, find us on Patreon". Even being able to provide a "connect to Patreon" button on the screen would be a boost. UX and web site designers are well aware of how many people you lose with each step. Such a button could also auto-switch to the ad-free stream; I once paid for the upgrade but managing the different feed was a pain.

I'm still using Pocket Casts, so it's possible that an integrated app like Stitcher is already doing that. If not, I see a niche that would make it easier for amateurs to scratch out a living. I think the money is there if you make it easy for people to give it.
I've listened to podcasts for more than 10 years now and every year it's been either "peaking" or "declining". Meanwhile I just continue to listen.
All three of the designs you referenced have a lower information density and poorer design qualities than mediawiki. While mediawiki is not the "best" design it could be, you are going in the wrong direction.
I think flat eartherism is stupid but I really don’t want YouTube start censoring stuff. That’s a dangerous path.
What is unfettered capitalism? The "unfettered" part leads me to believe this is a pejorative. Wikipedia redirects to economic liberalism, which is just free markets in opposition to planned economies. Is there anyone even remotely serious who thinks planned economies are superior? Is there a planned economy in the world that isn't in tattered ruins, impoverishing its people in the most hideous and evil fashion, while literally stealing its pittance of wealth for a few dozen autocrats in charge of the government?

We have emergency production rollback to the last working deploy. That's what you do when breaking changes are committed to master. Letting devs commit to master directly? Horrible idea.
“Stuck” may not be the best word for a profitable journalism company that ensures its readers that they aren’t being tracked nor individually manipulated.

Are there any digital news outfits that don’t subject their paying readers to unethical (IMHO) advertising?

If no, I’ll continue to read via dead trees.
It’s almost like there’s a conspiracy theory to censor information and manipulate public discourse. Hmmm...

The current centralized structure of the web is broken. Any person who believes in classical liberalism should find this disgusting.
And frankly, I'm not convinced it's gaining any kind of new followers at all. 20 years ago it was virtually unheard of to encounter a flat earth believer, but thanks to Youtube and the Internet at large all kinds of fringe beliefs are brought to the masses' consciousness. That doesn't mean that those beliefs are finding new adherents. It doesn't give fascists license to crack down on anyone's beliefs either. Google/Youtube censoring anyone over this is literally doing more harm than good in every conceivable way.
marcos here (one of the authors). i know the word "breakthrough" in the title is a "little" ambitious, but i really think we've done something interesting ... we'd like to publish so this is a way to collect questions/comments! soot away.
Purely anti-Russian article
I honestly can’t figure out what’s wrong with open offices. If they’ve got carpet and enough conference space they’re golden.

I’ve been in a state government cube center, you don’t want that.

As they say, silence is deafening. So are awkward doctor’s office calls taken in cubicles.

Being around that level of dust and hoarding wasn’t my
jam, either.
I keep enjoying every other non MMA Joe Rogan podcast.
Why would you decide someone is maliciously trolling the internet by writing an article on tust versus the far far more likely situation of the author and/or target readership being unfamiliar with the domain leading to poor quality content being churned out to hit a deadline?
I don’t think about moving back maybe once or twice a month! ;-)

Thank you for the tip—it’s been some years since I’ve been back, and I’m sure the coffee has only gotten better. When I was there, I was even hearing isolated reports of hobbyists growing their own coffee in the far north. Was always curious how that worked out, as I’d have thought coffee would still be a bit marginal at those latitudes?
I know a former Technical fellow at Microsoft. He told me people gave him crap & joked it must be nice to be a TL and have the power to leave at 3P. On the other hand it had been years since he hadn’t watched the sun rise drinking coffee at the office. He told me he tries to make sure he doesn’t get out of bed till he hears his coffee machine go off at some time like 4A.

Also, at google I’ve known people to work part of the day from home or have moderately shifted schedules to avoid traffic. Though there are often team-wide “core hours” where you are expected to be available for a meeting.
We need to abolish the distinction between “natural” and naturalized citizens
Abscissa: Security-oriented Rust application framework
I think you are right about the gp's motivation, but it's really semantics. I would have called the guy selfish, cruel, maybe evil even, but probably not a sociopath or insane. Most murderers are not sociopaths. But when scared or angry empathy is impacted in even normal people. If that anger does not dissipate over time either due to repeated offense or reminders of an offense, an otherwise rational individual can have their empathy suppressed long enough to plan something like this.
>When companies like Amazon do things that are morally wrong, you never see people making this claim that moral concepts don't apply to companies.

I see this all the time on HN.
No, they feel it's so simplistic it borders on insensitive. This isn't about small talk.
True, but this was not “specific criticism”. It was a general dismissing criticism without details, and so can be refuted with a similarly detail-less answer. A detailed criticism deserves a reasoned and detailed answer, but vague criticism gets a generic rebuttal.
The good podcasts take a decent amount of prep work. Hardcore history, probably one of the best has months between episodes because Dan puts an incredible amount of research into each episode.

On a side note, my dream podcast would be one analyzing the "time between". History podcasts love to talk about war, and war is interesting, but I find the political details before and after the war more interesting. One of my favorite books is "Paris 1919", a book all about the peace conference after the war. As great as Dan's podcast on WW1 was, he barely talked about the most important part of the war. What happened after it. When the leaders got together, the world was "shaped". It's a facinating read that gives a bit of insight into how the sausage we live in was made.
You can't write a doubly-linked list without unsafe in Rust.
I don't want to get too political here, but the propagation of Alex-Jones-esque conspiracy can be very influential to a larger-than-it-should-be percentage of the population, who will vote in demagogues who perpetuate these narratives.
It's not that clear cut. Large portion of programming activity already involves keyboard shortcuts etc rather than straight out typing code. I'd expect any good non-text based code editor to still be fully keyboard driven, or at least as much as current-day editors
Ants are not social in the same way ants are. The two species could not be further apart.

Humans will never be a 'hive' in that way. It's not in our biological makeup.

The explanation in the article is fairly well done. One thing I can't help but think whenever there are more involved processes for catching someone though, is that we'll never know if that was the actual method used. For a large enough case, they could utilize some other, more secretive method, and then parallel construct this (believable) one, with the benefit of already knowing the final answer.

Not something I'm saying _happened_ here, but certainly something I think everyone should keep in mind when they read these types of cases.
> For most folks that existential crisis is driven 100% by the realization that they have little in the way of a safety-net, and all it takes is several turns of bad luck to end up in a poverty trap that isn't easy to climb out of.

I think that's more US specific.
Sure, I wish web servers had better options for this. If you're trying to do it on the web server level it seems like the current solution is a regex with your list of approved origins vs the origin header, and then setting Access-Control-Allow-Origin to the matching one. But the current examples, showing just setting the header multiple times, will lead devs down the garden path. Unless I'm missing something, which I very much hope I am.
Me too, maybe even longer than that, but there have certainly been inflection points. Serial being the biggest.
What argument do you use to prove them wrong?
The PayPal Wars looks like my next read... Recently, I have been enamored by the Mafia - Thanks !
I listened to one! It's basically someone reading out a blog post slowly.
It is interesting that he decided to stick around in Washington after ripping off Microsoft. He bought a $1.6M house there, so he presumably liked the area, but it seems like one hell of a risk. Even if he kept coming to the US or had his banked funds seized, locating hard assets like the house in Ukraine would do quite a bit to improve his odds of a good outcome. Among other things, a potential $250k fine on a $10M theft doesn't sound like much, but it's got to be tough to pay off with your assets seized and your career prospects crippled. Having some seizure-proof goods in another country would have made that a lot more manageable.

Of course, the risk/reward on this sort of thing is usually crummy regardless, so maybe we shouldn't be surprised (much less disappointed) that the people involved tend to make some other risky choices.
I live in a place where the neighbors are likely to talk about their religion, their football team, their other football team, their kids, their kid's football team, something implicitly racist, something explicitly racist, their job/boss/business (or lack thereof), or their vehicle. I'd only want to hear about two of those things.

I'd prefer to talk about events or ideas, or activities that interest me. It's far easier to join an online discussion already in progress to feel less isolated in South Bumblefart, USA.

I have found that familiarity does sometimes breed contempt, but absence does not always make the heart grow fonder.
I would be curious how they get the age data, though. Do they have the connection to facebook?
My dad was an small-time advertising exec in Germany during the "Mad Men" era... being able to make unannounced visits to senior offices (with a ton of charm to pull it off) was a central part of his strategy for acquiring new customers.
At least Google has made an exception for me when I’m working on code hosted on Github. Most of that is (or will be) public so there’s low risk.

Is this true for both iOS and Android? It probably needs access to media to store images, and once you grant it that level of access, it can read media as well.
Sorry about that. Free Wordpress installations have a lot of ads. I need to do something about that...
That's one way to reduce the housing shortage.
Disney stole the entirety of The Lion King scene for scene from a Japanese anime while claiming it to be a 100% completely original Disney made story.
Very few podcasts do have the qualities you are looking for. NPR's slew of podcasts has been the only one that has been consistently goes in-depth on certain topics. If anyone else knows of podcasts similar, please share!
Back in the days when people named themselves after their job, there was no difference between career and personal life. You didn’t work 8-5 and then completely disconnect, you worked whenever the job needed done as many hours as it took.

Loneliness only sets in when you have nothing else to do and you’re all alone. If you’re swinging a hammer at a hot forge for 16 hours a day loneliness is a secondary concern.
I'd say it's a lot more like an addict that, while smoking a cigarette, says things like "yea I know these things are killing me".

No harm, no foul until the signs are visible, and it's probably too late.
