It’s simply ridiculous to describe full disclosure like that.

I'd be reluctant to call this social engineering. In my mind that typically refers to someone manipulating a third part to gain access to privileged information on you. However in this case the professor willingly gave access to his devices and passwords to a manipulative individual.
To me this would be coercion plain and simple.

Debian 10 is running 7.3, thankfully. But their LTS runs for 5 years and 7.3 will be EOL about 7 months before Buster and active support dropped about 17 months before. And PHP 7.4 is due out in November/December. So Buster will be outdated with its PHP release 6 months after release.

No, it's called Responsible disclosure. https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/52/how-to-discl...

By not contacting the developer first, you're acting in bad faith. This opens you up to all kinds of legal liabilities, not to mention the social exclusion that will occur.
The cultural aspect of this web page is pretty clear in that the author even formats his HTML to look like plaintext, which is completely unnecessary from a technical perspective. In fact it took extra effort to do that, as opposed to just allowing each browser to supply its default font.
Top posting is orthogonal to the email's format.
I've received plenty of top posts in plain text way back when.

Not doing top posting literally has confused recipients of my mails (almost all instances).

So now I'm a top poster as well: i use emails to communicate, not to confuse.

Since reading it somewhere in the distant past, I have become convinced that the moon played a vital part in the origin of life, by creating the tides.
Picture a coastline in early Earth. Tide washes up a bunch of chemicals that get baked in a warm sun, while simultaneously getting exposed to a harsh atmosphere with plenty of energy surges (volcanic/atmospheric).
Tide washes in a bunch of fresh chemicals to reiterate the process.
Rinse & repeat a few hundred billion times.

Given the rarity (AFAIR) of moons as large as ours orbiting planets as small as ours, that might also explain the apparent rarity of life in the cosmos.
Interesting that this is a feature but blocks quotes on mobile isn't :)
The article doesn't take sides but I will. They're better off without Balaji Srinivasan. His startup Earn.com was a pivot of an earlier startup 21.co which was transparently stupid. Earn.com was also bad and didn't deserve an exit. I suspect shenanigans orchestrated by Andreesen Horowitz there.

Coinbase's expansion into regulatory gray areas threatens their main competitive advantage as the safest and most stable large regulated crypto business. If they keep chasing that sweet ICO scam money instead of focusing on compliance and institutional investment it will destroy them in the end.
If you are looking at SMBs that treat you as a "IT guy", sure.

If you are looking at more "modern" tech companies in Berlin or well-funded startups it's definitely possible. The last 3 job offers I had were in the 90-100k range, for a "senior" position (~6 years of experience) in Berlin.
According to Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway, this fine is far too small to make a difference to Facebook's behavior.

A fine of a size that exceeded their free cash ($40 billion) would have given FB a huge incentive to clean up their act. A fine of this size is nothing but a toll to pay.

Nonsense. “Responsible disclosure” is a term coined by vendors to shame researchers who don’t play ball.

There’s no implicit “bad faith” in full disclosure or even the sale of weaponized 0day exploits.

Julia is focused on numerical computing, not exclusively for numerical computing. Note that Julia has built in n-D arrays and useful operations, while Python requires the numpy package (or other similar package) for them. Julia's Matlab-esque syntax makes it clear where its priorities lie.

You could call any Turing-complete language with I/O a general purpose language, but some are clearly designed for certain tasks.
Good advice for many reasons, but unless you let your company root your device, they cant track you and your behavior.
I am floored at how cheap games are these days.

Ultima IV had a street price of $50-55; in 1985. That's ~$130 in 2019. Teams were far far smaller then. Of course a "successful" game was also a far different standard; as within 4 years of release it had sold only 400,000 copies; despite being a pretty great game.

Whenever people talk about how expensive games are I feel very very old, because games (and the systems) used to actually be expensive.

The C64 was an amazing budget system, and was originally $595. That's like $1600 today. Yes it was a "computer" as well, but people balk at the price of $300 systems today and call $1000 computers too expensive.
I don't really know what this comment is supposed to imply, using the name of a currency and not the symbol is fairly common when talking about international currencies, since not everyone knows symbols or they can be confusing aka Euros/Pounds.

For example, here is a headline from a .co.uk domain that uses the word and not the symbol for Euro

I am probably not the standard gamer so all this is personal opinion. I am still playing Skyrim. I don't like FPS games, I don't like multi-player games and I don't like sports games.

The $60 soft-cap makes sense. That is normally for the core game- Skyrim had three official add-ons, I think $5 each. Game developers have created bad reputations for themselves- you expect new games to be sold unfinished requiring huge updates right after release and to still be buggy for months afterwards. I tried Assassins Creed but within the first week I had multiple ~10GB updates, never made it further than the first 10 minutes of the game. Micro-transactions and in-game advertising are probably subconsciously factored into a games prices by customers now. I stopped buying EA games because every loading screen or background object had "EA" written on it (golf). $60 used to be the purchase price of a disc you bought and you owned the game, pop it in and it works. $60 is now the price for a download link to "rent" the game until the publisher or host decides to no longer keep it up and running.

I hate "cloud" gaming. Friday night at 8pm and you decide to play some videos- forced 12GB update means the game will be ready to play sometime Monday morning, assuming the update didn't mess things up. If your Internet is down, sorry, can't play the games you bought and downloaded.

Of course customers aren't going to spend more than $60 for a broken buggy game filled with ads that they don't truly own. Bethesda had moved on from Skyrim but fans have not. (Hopefully TES6 stays similar to the series) 8 years after release people are still playing the game. New mods and full add-ons created by fans are still coming out. The market is there for quality single-player games.

I stopped reading when the article started talking about energy.
The users booting up Windose to use VLC have a much bigger problem in terms of vulerability than this reportedly false claim on the VLC-app.

TL;DR A nerd "who’d spent much of his life in the ivory tower" gets taken advantage of because he never faced the world outside.

I think while this isn't tech related BUT a lot of people who grew up in similar environments and lack proper awareness about what most would consider "basics" should pay attention.

I wonder if in his mind he thinks that the world resembles his world of academia, educated and polite friends and family?
Does turning off location on your phone mitigate their tracking of where employees go? I realize the other problems are still there, but I'm wondering if that would help. I turn on location on my phone once in a blue moon when an app gets too damn annoying that I actually need to use right then.
There's probably a lot of them. But it's mostly due to ignorance and lack of trying other avenues. It's very easy for companies to manage orders and inventory in actual systems designed for the task in this day and age. Ones that provide an actual web interface that's accessible anywhere and generate data from a database.
Consider also that Facebook's current market cap (the value of the company according to the stock market) is approximately 34 times the current market cap of Equifax ($575 billion vs $17 billion).

You claim that I am "not stating a fact" but it is a fact that any claim that an action is right when done by one person but wrong when done by another is either an internal contradiction or a repudiation of any universal standard for right and wrong. Either way, you can't consistently argue that a proportional response would be wrong after taking that same action yourself.

I should hope that this argument is not "unique", since it's just an application of basic logic, and I really couldn't care less whether the conclusions are universally accepted. The logic is sound whether you accept it or not.
I've been a party to too many situations where this sort of thing happens.

We have reached out to both companies for more info on what happened regarding the initial CVE

Crew resource management: not flying the plane into the mountain
I mean, it's incredible it takes so long to update the status. Every single time there were an outage, I waited at least 10 minutes before having an update on the status dashboard. It's not acceptable. (When there is a status update at all...)
How would fine grain permissions solve the problem of software doing something fishy with the code you give it access to?
I understand why Slack would want to stay away from an open protocol, since their business is so tied to building a moat around keeping businesses on Slack. Everything they do is to make Slack better and stickier for businesses.

A counterpoint, though, is to think about the long game. Since email is an open protocol, it will likely _never_ go away. There is incredible leverage around this. Businesses & tools built on email will work for a long, long time. There is a legitimate business case to be made, today, for building things on email, and that, in turn, makes email stickier.

Perhaps Slack stays forever, but perhaps not. It's possible that a new productivity fad comes into play and makes chat apps a thing of the past. If it's built on an open protocol - and an open protocol that's not restricted to one workspace - then Slack will likely exist for a long, long time.
That’s not what the definition of the word aristocrat is? It has nothing to do with HOW the wealth was acquired. Just that one is a member of the privileged class.

The origin of the word too has nothing to do with how the money is acquired. Just means “member of the elite class”.

It seems you’re attached to a romanticized/nostalgic spin on the term. Not concerned with the actual definition.

Pedantry fail.

Jobs of the Future
Exactly- if work doesn't pay, they don't get to play on my phone. I'd be willing to check work email sporadically, and it's unfortunate that doing so in any capacity means allowing an unknown admin "wipe my phone" privileges. Companies don't handle that stuff with any sort of finesse and mistakes happen. Ultimately email on a phone may be a moot point for software developers: We use more independent chat apps like Slack, no one worries about texting you, and it's hard to do anything really more involved than messaging without opening your laptop (which probably is provided by work).

Did he basically just announce a false flag?

"Obviously, the Department would like to engage with the private sector in exploring solutions that will provide lawful access. While we remain open to a cooperative approach, the time to achieve that may be limited. Key countries, including important allies, have been moving toward legislative and regulatory solutions. I think it is prudent to anticipate that a major incident may well occur at any time that will galvanize public opinion on these issues. Whether we end up with legislation or not, the best course for everyone involved is to work soberly and in good faith together to craft appropriate solutions, rather than have outcomes dictated during a crisis. "
To be fair, at this point we have no idea how rare is the life in the Universe.
my comment may not be "useful"(decided by who?), but it's true. hence the intolerant hate against it.
btw what described in article isn't "doing new things", certainly not "important new things".
also most times, "nothing" doesn't "become something", but remains nothing.
I don't put it in my phone because it gives the company an out to turn your phone into an IT BYOD asset. This makes it subject to a wipe if you ever left the company.
This, in my experience, often means advising on several ( >3 ) projects with no (or very minimal) explicit technical commitments. And "no explicit commitments" means you get more freedom to attend conferences, close the door for a generic "I am working, please do not disturb" stretches, take vacation when convenient to you and generally be a master of your time.

Getting there may not be easy. IME the best path, especially in larger companies, is to:

1. Be effective and gain wide domain knowledge, so your time is valued and multiple diverse projects want as much of your time as you can spare. This is (relatively) easy.

2. As requests for your time rise, negotiate advisory instead of worker bee roles. Avoid writing code, even when you can do it quickly. Instead architect, mentor, advise, assess, etc. This is tricky. As you transition to advisory roles you need to stay valuable and not turn into one of the folks just hanging around with nothing meaningful to do -- those heads are first on the chopping block. If you stop getting invites to new projects, lean hard on #1 for a while.
Software developers who are taught imperative programming are used to translating their high-level, human thoughts into imperative instructions telling the computer exactly what to do to make the answer they want.

With functional programming, one is able to translate thoughts more directly. Non-programmers actually have an easier time with functional concepts like mapping than for loops, non-local mutation, etc.

At any rate, imperative languages have a legacy of frankly buggy, shitty software. As programs get larger and more concurrent, this problem is getting much, much worse. That's why functional(ish) libraries like Redux are so popular. They can help tame this complexity.

Imperative programming absolutely has its place in certain situations like systems or numerical programming, but it is a poor tool for most things people program. Rust, I think, is imperative programming done right. While it's a bit confusing with all the pointer types, it has the tools needed to safely mutate, etc.
I would say that top posting does mean replies without trimming. In theory, they're not the same, of course. In practice, I've seen top posting with trimming a total of... well, zero times.

And in either case, reading something from top to bottom is certainly easier than to read something in the order of:
Last 3% of the message, followed by the bits that are 93-97% into the message, followed by the bits that are at 86-93% of the message, followed by the bits... every email is like watching Memento. With each scene in whatever typeface that particular person's email client thought was a good idea to enforce upon me. And sometimes purple.
Same, we use gsuite MDM for BYOD just to ensure that personnel's devices have basic security configurations (e.g. encryption, lock screen, etc.) Beyond that, this MDM is quite limited to what's possible to accomplish.

I added two paragraphs. I didn't feel saying it was edited was warranted since it was an expansion rather than a change of meaning.

Also I agree with the GP comment, I was just expanding on the point about the people who aren't working and don't want to. I thought it was worth noting that that is not something many people can rationalize.
Very nice example of choosing a niche for an existing solution and use shop owner specific wording.
To all the naysayers saying, "I told you so!", keep in mind this is a perception problem, not a technology problem. I've been in a self-driving car -- it drove better than just about any Lyft or Uber I've ever been in. They're already safer than human drivers, with fewer accidents per mile than humans.

And if you eliminate Tesla from the category, since they aren't using LIDAR, you can also point out that a self-driving car has never killed a passenger.

The only reason they have to wait is because they know the public expects perfection. The public doesn't understand statistics. If a self-driver kills a person, it would set the entire industry back decades, even though humans kill people with cars every single day.

People just aren't ready to accept that self-driving cars are safer, even if they aren't perfect.

Edits to reply to comments:

To those saying "It wouldn't work in my climate", that's probably true, but they aren't trying to make it work in your climate. All the self-driving companies are trying to release taxi services that work in cities with good weather.

To those saying "But pedestrians are important too", yes I agree with you. I was trying to point out that the fears of being inside a self-driving car are unfounded, because they are very safe. I still think I'd rather be around a bunch of self-driving cars outside too, but yes, they have killed people outside the car.

And on a side note, this is my most controversial comment ever. I've watched the points on this post as I reply elsewhere go from +3 to -3 and everywhere in-between. I think this right here sums up the public perception issues self driving companies have ahead of them.
When they aren't trying to put them in jail that is.
Hello,

I provide binaries for Windows, Mac OS, Fedora, Centos and Ubuntu: https://github.com/naver/tamgu/releases

You also have some examples in: https://github.com/naver/tamgu/tree/master/examples

I provide makefiles for all platforms:

Windows: Visual 2013

Mac OS: both command line Makefile and Xcode Makefiles (including the native Mac OS GUI)

Linux: (also for Mac OS), I provide a python script: install.py that determines what is available on your machine and create a Makefile.in.

> The price of goods in foreign "hard" currency actually remained relatively stable after some initial shocks, but the actual inflation was in Zimbabwe dollars after the gov't printed more Z$, which the majority of people there got paid in.

Yes, that's part of what I mean; since no foreigners want Z$ to buy Zim export goods (since there weren't any), people in Zimbabwe found themselves needing more and more Z$ to buy the same level of things.

The role of oil in inflation seems to be disputed, but it looks like it used to be more correlated (probably indicating a greater dependence on cheap oil back then): https://www.frbsf.org/economic-research/publications/economi...

I agree that raising rates to combat inflation works astonishingly well for moderate inflation, and this is one of the big successes of orthodox economic policy. The catch is that this works by increasing unemployment. And it can't do anything about hyper inflation, which is where we got into this discussion.
secondign this. I'm 45 yo, and by the time I entered the job market, I was a real good developer (sold my first commercial program at 16, made 3D engines at 18, etc.). And you know what ? I didn't knew anything. That's because software is a just a part of the equation : knowing the business, the people, the rules, the companies, your own needs in life, working with others, with management, etc. All of that you don't learn at school and you learn as you go. So if you can land a job in SV, just do it, but don't think that's the end of it :-)

Now, for my part, I came to the conclusion software is just a tool and, as that tool, I want to be used for things that matter to me. Since I think that the only thing that matters
now are fighting poverty, climate change, I really wonder what I'm gonna do...

And I can assure you, when I was at your age, all my life was oriented to make one and only one thing : 3D engines for video games, which I did.

So you see, life is full of surprise :-)
Thank you for the suggestions. I'll check out both of those.
