Not nitpicking, genuinely curious. L10? I've never heard of that climbing scale.
It is quite conspiratorial. It’s really hard for Google to prove they didn’t do this as it’s proving a negative.

I think the argument boils down to since they are capable of doing so, and no one would be able to tell if they did; therefore search must be open to prevent such potential actions.

Google has been caught doing things like favoring inferior shopping searches to point to their own products. So maybe it is possible to detect and not as much of a risk.

It's interesting how split the comments here are. Lots of grey (downvoted) comments
The difference is that you're saying something without evidence, and I'm saying something for which pretty extensive evidence is on the record. Please note that I'm being careful about separating what I have evidence for --- Epstein's grudge against Google over the quarantining of his hacked website --- from what I don't --- his testimony before the Senate.
The response seems … snippy:

Am I missing something?

It does appear from the link you provided that the maintainers regressed back across the last three major releases and also couldn't reproduce the issue, and I suspect their snippiness is coming from Gizmodo's[1] haste to publish an article asserting that their product contained vulnerabilities when it so far cannot be proved to.Possibly even the assertion that "VideoLAN is also aware of the issue and is currently working on a patch, though right now" which has me wondering:

Did anyone at Gizmodo actually read the issue tracker to see the testing done by JBK?

I'd be a bit annoyed and prone to snippiness at this kind of reporting about my code in a major online publication as well, honestly.

This wasn't unexpected by many. Tesla put forth such a robust system that it was obviously going to be a temptation for "do good government officials" who want a feather in their cap regardless of how they get it. They will do this out of "fairness" but the real game here is, getting all charging systems to a point to where they are easier to tax. As in tax consumers to make up for the losses in petrol taxes. Many states are already putting up yearly tag renewal fees on EVs that are in some case excessive.

There are all sorts of regulatory pressures that can be brought to bear on Tesla if they don't comply, changing the law is nothing to people like these commissioners. They can simply make it to where systems that don't accept Credit cards or support all models of cars pay additional fees or penalties.

Ask HN: Do you regularly apply for jobs even if you are well/happily employed?
I wonder if it's just me or others also regularly apply for new jobs just to see what's out there?

Three reasons why:

- Know if I still employable

- Keep myself sharp with my interview-fu

- Eventually land in a new and better job....

We don't allow any HTML tags in video descriptions (we pass them through a simple tag stripping filter).

But we do automatically add anchor tags to urls for most videos (just not new user's videos).

I agree that it's a bit of a UI issue, but communicating to a new nonpaying user that their text-only urls will one-day turn into clickable urls is particularly simple.

Looking at the public videos, and reading the article, I think an automatic system detected a new user both adding urls to two separate videos, and the same user modifying those links slightly. That's sufficiently unusual behaviour that it met some threshold for an automated account ban.
When someone has an ongoing, active infection with Lyme your IgM antibodies should be positive which indicates acute or ongoing infection. After you've been treated for Lyme disease your IgG levels will remain positive, but your IgM should disappear.

So no, it's not impossible to tell if they have an active infection and my point still stands.

There's a whole community of people who may (or may not) have had Lyme disease in the past and blame anything and everything on it. Lyme disease can cause permanent conditions neurological degradation that won't go away once the infection has been treated, or it may be something completely different. However, "chronic Lyme disease" is not a thing.

What about grammar? You need grammar to form the definitions so you need to teach it at some point.

One approach would be to mix in grammar bits into the word flashcards. Like:

Flashcard 1: word 1
F 2: word 2
F 3: grammar bit 1
F 4: word 3
...

You could use the grammar bits provided by English Profile based on the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference): https://www.englishprofile.org/english-grammar-profile/egp-o...

Full disclosure: I work on cryptography for Google, nothing related to this particular article.

These claims are a bit...much. In the 2016 election, which was characterized by media manipulation and fake news stories, Google's results, according to his analysis, seemed to skew favorably toward Clinton. How do you even control for all the confounding factors here? Maybe Google is just better at weeding out misinformation than Bing, resulting in fewer negative stories about Clinton (or fewer positive stories about Trump).

Then in 2018 Google threatened democracy by telling people to go out and vote, which clearly is an act of voter manipulation by Google in Dr. Epstein's view. In that same election, Dr. Epstein claims that Google's results were biased in favor of one party; yet in that same election, one party's talking points were divorced from reality, so any search algorithm than favors truthfulness would have to favor the other party.

'I once worked at a company where a product manager said that the difference between a senior engineer and a junior engineer was the ability to provide accurate estimates. '

I once had a manager ask me 'can we be more aggressive on these estimates?' my answer was "absolutely. i can give any estimate you want" he shut up after that.
How is it that much and where is it that much? I paid a fraction of that.
I find it very similar to the experience I had with a digital camera around 1998 or so. It was often less convenient than film; you couldn't just buy more film at every corner store. The photo->computer download process was honestly a bit of a pain, as was buying enough storage space. Many people in those days wanted prints, which was much less convenient. But it was pretty clear that it was the future after a few months of living with it. Peak film was around 2001; I suspect peak ICE will be 2025 or so.

(There's a further analogy to be made here with smartphones and autonomous ride sharing EVs)

To give a list of these PL-level separation mechanisms, and their languages, these are the kernels I know of that work in this fashion.

Spin OS (Modula-3), Singularity (Sing#), Midori (M#), TockOS (safe rust).

As far as I know TockOS is the only one I know of which has some form of both PL-level and hardware enforcement of separation, albeit on an MPU rather than a full MMU, PL-level for kernel modules, and an MPU protected userspace.

I at least think it is worth addressing that none of these separation mechanisms are actually mutually exclusive.
I'm interested in full time RV living and some people change their toilet for compost ones, and then turn their black tank (toilet flushes) into a extra grey tank (sink, shower water... Washer or dishwasher if you have a fancy rig with it)

Was watching and reading about them, but not sure If I'd like them... Someone kept a spray bottle to help clean the inside after each use if messy inside (think poop or maybe period blood).

Then there's a little fan that is sorta like a PC fan... but was reading somewhere someone's went out and their RV got invaded by fruit flies!

I'm actually really surprised no one did this sooner. I also wish they had posted revenue figures for the two days.

To other people doing this in the future: bring (or order) a fat battery pack with an AC outlet for $100 so you don't have to keep swapping laptops and can use a mobile hotspot all day.
You are claiming that Epstein is a petty man, and has decided to devote his entire life towards smearing Google, although at this point it is for wages?

You disguise your rather strong claim with passive voice and a conclusion that doesn’t attempt to convince me at all.
It takes 1-2 days just to get a frontend setup working the way I want. What create-react-app / @vue/cli gives out of the box isn't sufficient if you're connecting to a backend.

I like graphql in the backend and having it generate a schema file, and getting typescript typings from that, so all the data structures align nicely.

Add pushing to heroku / some cloud service via fabric, that'd easily put me at 1 week.

It's after the first week stuff really comes together. Then there's a reliable hot reload loop, scripts, familiar stuff you're used to is prepped.

I don't like the 1 week thing because I think you'd be stuck inside a framework/starter kit that'd hold down what you want to build. I think a month is minimum if you wanted to impress and get your idea across.
For an electrician to install an outlet in your garage is TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS?! If you paid that, you got mega ripped off. That's an order of magnitude greater than it should cost.

The latest release on the list was in Austin, on 7/9/19, so sadly I think this article is a bit out of date.

Maybe if they had more information on the general release?
It should be in a similar way, but in reality people lose their minds when the topic is sexual.
>I will say that one might be capable of installing a 240V outlet oneself and save $2000.

It took us fifteen minutes (excluding the run to home depot for the socket, breaker, wire and a steel pipe) to run a new 240v socket from our electrical panel in the garage to a few feet away from it. I can't imagine ever spending $2000 on the installation of a single 240V socket right next to the panel.
The manipulation on this stock is insane. Was at $350, down to $180, now back up to $260. In the span of 6 months when basically nothing material happened. They’re just executing on a known plan.

I trust these financial media companies 0%. It seems patently obvious they’re manipulating stocks. Why poison my mind? Seeking Alpha,
CNBC, Bloomberg all seem to be the stock manipulation wings of god knows what funds.
Generally in the US, if an individual unit costs under around $5k it's easier to just count it as a one-time expense instead of dealing with a depreciation schedule.

if you make some assumptions about how long IO takes and how the systems order IO, this overlapping-increment example will have a deterministic order and still be wrong every time (increment once instead of twice).

The assumptions are that op1 and op2 are started in order and that your database replies in the order received.

People often feel emotional trauma when they're reneged on or sued. It doesn't necessarily have to be done by a person for the victim to feel betrayed. I'm thinking of Uzi Nissan, the owner of Nissan Computers, who is still getting sued by Nissan Motors to turn over nissan.com to them. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that he feels a certain emotional pain about all that.
I think if you read any other comment of mine in this thread, you will not see me saying that Epstein has "decided to devote his entire life towards smearing Google". I don't know what you mean by "a petty man" and further don't think it'd be productive to explore that. I'd appreciate it if you could try a little harder to respond to arguments I've actually made.

Quick tip: voice concerns about partners in private. Lyft will probably be happy to credit Scale more - it was likely an honest mistake. But now you dragged them through the mud publicly, which is going to make big companies less likely to work with Scale in the future.

What I found strange was how much water was in the bowl of US toilets. It's nearly impossible not to experience a splash, the level is so high. I've even been in toilets here where I had to take measures not to have my genitals end up dipping in it.

My favourite experiences have been in Germany and China, where typically most of the bowl is comprised of a dry "receptacle" which is then flushed with water into a smaller pipe opening.
No. At least not in my case. The electrician had to install an extra breaker in an auxiliary box in the basement, then run 30 feet of conduit to get the 240v line out of the house. The price of having a charger installed varies tremendously depending on where it needs to go and where your house’s breaker box is located relative to that.

Wasn't this the struggle Musk signed up for? He said he wanted to reduce the cost of electric vehicles.. and he's doing it. Who was surprised that people would purchase a cheaper version is available?

I'm sure there are also lots of people buying one because it's finally in their budget... complaining they won't buy a more expensive version is like asking Corolla owners why they won't buy a Lexus instead.

I'm not a musk fanboy.. but I don't think Musk is surprised here. Maybe the author of this article is surprised because he wasn't paying attention. And yeah, they have some quotes from investors.. but if they were surprised by this, then maybe they shouldn't be investing in things they don't care to analyze or think about more than 5 minutes.
Bloomberg really seems to be pushing an agenda.

Why should we take them seriously?

Still waiting for the supermicro retraction or proof of claims. At this point, it simply looks like stock manipulation.

I like how the headlines explicitly states humans.

For yet another study in ... mice.

There are other options like dogs and pigs which are much better models for human biology, so if you really want to make a claim about subtle effects of human genetics you need to be as close to a human model as possible.

This is entirely ignoring the someone generous leap they make that one single gene mutation is responsible for an increased rate of heart disease. It also doesn’t touch on what the benefits for that gene were (to spread through the gene pool completely it must have some benefit that outweighs the cost)
Slack didn't win because it was better, it won because businesses thought they were better. That's how most business software works: it creates a problem in the customer's mind in such a way as the customer naturally sees the product as the solution.

Slack is successful because of marketing, not technical superiority.

I worked at a small company that used Google Talk for office chat, and us developers complained because it was difficult to have a group conversation with. We started using Discord (we were familiar with it and liked the dark theme) and it caught on and we were quite productive with it. Our business types saw it and decided to "formalize" it, so they picked Slack and rolled it out company wide. Most people actually preferred Discord, but the business types preferred Slack (probably mostly because of marketing), and now we're all using Slack.

Now, Slack also didn't royally screw up as it scaled up (outages were rare and transparently reported), which is a credit to the developers and PR people. That being said, just because something is successful doesn't mean it's good; it could be, but that's tangential to the topic at hand.
The only proven case of Tesla stock manipulation was when the CEO went on social media and deliberately and fraudulently made material misrepresentations about a pending acquisition of the company.

I agree he got his money worth out of American Airlines many many times over, so he should just accept it and pony up for airfare like everybody else now. From the article it seems like he can afford it, previously working at Bears Sterns and being able to afford $250k for the initial unlimited pass.

Plus, there was a clause in the contract about fraudulent use, and it certainly seems he was using it fraudulently booking empty first class seats for his luggage and such.
After this update, slack stopped working on Opera. Anyone else has the same problem?
For now, at least. "rel=0" used to mean "don't show related videos at all"; now it means "only show related videos from the same uploader", and I wouldn't be shocked if YouTube limited its functionality even further in the future.
Okay, I will try harder, I suppose I owe that to you to understand your arguments and where you come from.

I was unclear, I meant that your arguments leave one with the inference that Epstein would dedicate the remainder of his life against Google. I mean petty man as in man motivated by petty reasons.

I am unaware if you really meant to imply that or if you’ve been repeatedly communicating unclearly.

That's fair; the article is probably taking its information from the CVE and the links to Symantec's "Security Focus" where apparently the research claims to have prepared an exploit. The bug itself (which perhaps is all the VLC people are looking at, aside from the news, now?) is pretty bare bones.

I too have no idea where Gizmodo is getting the notion that it is being worked on. Perhaps they're getting that from the failed reproduction attempts.

Something I've found to be true in both game design and software UX is that generally speaking, you want users to feel safe trying new things. This helps sidestep some problems that tech-illiterate users have where they become scared to guess where anything is and have to be shown how to do everything. In game design, it makes it easier to teach users new mechanics.

It's also a prerequisite to having more intuitive, predictable interface. You can train people to just try clicking things or looking in their settings to see if something will work, but only if they're not worried that they're about to break the application. In a game, people will experiment and learn new mechanics, but not if they're worried that doing something wrong will come with severe consequences.

Reading this, I'm suddenly struck that policies and terms are subject to the same rules.

Of course I know that the point of having vague policies around stuff like this is very explicitly to not allow bad actors to feel safe probing your system. The point is to avoid the above scenario. But it occurs to me that this is a tradeoff. In order to keep bad actors from experimenting, you are also going to keep good actors from experimenting. People will be very careful not to go off the beaten path with your service, even to the point where they'll avoid building creative things.

They'll contact support more often instead of just trying things, and they'll be less creative with how they use your platform. Back when Youtube still had annotations working, I saw people building weird overlays and choose-your-own-adventure videos. Seeing that I could get banned this quickly for even accidentally stepping out of line in one place, I would never try something like that on Vimeo.

This doesn't mean that Vimeo's policies are bad. Vimeo may not even want people to experiment with their service. But the choice to immediately ban users, rather than popping up a notification or error message -- it's not just a policy decision, it's a UX/design decision, and it changes the way that ordinary people will interact with the company.
