I've never quite bought this argument. Yes, the choices are different. 100 years ago travel might be by train. Or hitch-hiking. Instead of video games you had a deck of cards and played solitaire. Today we have MMORPGs, back then it was again cards, sitting around a table. They didn't watch YouTube, but absolutely read books and newspapers.

> Hancock is a crank that thinks Atlantis existed in Antarctica.

Hancock claims to have been misrepresented about this by the BBC in an interview many years ago, he explains it here [0]. I think if you asked him today, he would say the most likely location for the ruins of Atlantis is somewhere off the coast between southwest Spain [1] and the Celtic Shelf [2]. While certainly outside the mainstream, that is not an unreasonable hypothesis. In my experience, when you start to really research ancient civilizations you often find the mainstream view a bit unsatisfactory. In searching for alternate explanations however, you quickly end up in the land of fringe theories. Hancock often presents these ideas in a more favorable light than what the evidence supports, but there’s also some good history mixed in and he doesn’t go off into ancient aliens territory like many of the people who write about these topics.

The article title misses a bit of nuance from the paper which is specifically talking about re-identification.

e.g from the paper:

"We show that, as a male born on July 31, 1945 and living in Cambridge (02138), the information used by Latanya Sweeney at the time, William Weld was unique with a 58% likelihood (ξx = 0.58 and κx = 0.77), meaning that Latanya Sweeney’s re-identification had 77% chances of being correct. We show that, if his medical records had included number of children—5 for William Weld—, her re-identification would have had 99.8% chances of being correct!"
OP here, just waking up (I'm remote) - I can't edit my original comments so let me modify them here:

I wasn't involved in our communications with Lyft, so I was talking about something I didn't know much about. My audience was just the anonymous commenteriat: turns out a lot of people whose opinion makes a material difference to Lyft/Scale read these comments too. Sorry for not realizing that; I probably wouldn't have posted an uninformed personal opinion had I realized that.

I was being way too aggressive - genuinely sorry to anyone at Lyft who felt maligned by these comments. I woke up to 20 messages from coworkers who told me I was being an ass - genuinely sorry :(

Also I really should've clarified I was not speaking on behalf of the company: this was just a personal, uninformed opinion.

I cannot go into the details I learned about Scale's agreement with Lyft since it's confidential
So that needs to be our next target point (access logs). We want to move to a position to keep no access lgos.

And a hacker could indeed "win" if they broke into our system, got the salt and exported the DB. We didn't focus on this in our article, as it's unbelievably unrealistic, but it's still possible. Our next step is to address that.

Without the hash, it's practically impossible to brute force.

That seems kind of low. I would assume software engineers capable of interviewing at google would be somewhat well off, and take the risk for a bigger payout.

Perhaps the law firm had final say?
because it was "a long time ago"
News articles not checking sources is pretty standard. A few years ago I had a blog post about something regarding Apple picked up by the Hong Kong Free Press and then the New York Times. It ended up resulting in articles across hundreds of publications. The only publications that talked to me and Apple were the New York Times, the original Hong Kong Free Press and a CNN money reporter. Everyone else was just rewriting other posts.

The economics of the industry drive this behavior - most reporters have a quota of stories they have to write per day and there's no time or budget to even email sources let alone sit around waiting for a reply.

If you want to read more about this, I recommend the book "Trust me, I'm lying" by Ryan Holiday.
MITREs response to this is a perfect example of the old-school security team mindset.
If I had a nickel for every security team I've worked with that a) treat reporting as gospel and don't validate it, and b) don't talk to the developer.
From my experience the key issue is they don't understand the issue enough to engage in a meaningful discussion with the developer
I've sorted the table of websites (over 150) by their domain authority and I work the list from top to bottom. The highest ranking ones are in the 90's (100 is max) and it goes down steadily.
I expect a little bit of personal responsibility at this point. You simply should not believe what you read in the news. It's either not researched at all or just false.
Ask HN: Favourite Headphones at Work
Just curious what headphones you would recommend, especially for open floor plans which seem to be so dominant.

I am guessing the Bose QC35 or Sony xm3 will be popular options for the Active Noise Cancellation. :)
Meat agriculture leads to:

- antibiotic resistance (increases in deaths due to more resistant strains of bacteria)

- pollution of air, soil and water

- poor utilization of resources: water, nitrogen and food

- breeding reactors for pandemics: thousands of animals kept very close together with people cleaning and moving waste within that area enhances pathogen evolutionary jumps

- major contributor to climate change

- yes, obligatory: animal cruelty

In short, if we want to survive and not extinct ourselves because of a desire for $0.99 hamburgers, we're gonna have to go vegan whether we like it or not (it sucks, but I for one already made the change). It might be disappointing to many people, but it's a necessary shift in lifestyle standards, just as keeping fossil fuels in the ground.
The script is

import util.

input_data(Tri) =>
Lines = read_file_lines("triangle.txt"),
Tri = new_array(Lines.length),
I = 1,
foreach(Line in Lines)
Tri[I] = Line.split().map(to_integer).to_array(),
I := I+1
end.

In the mind of an imperative scripting developer those commas are (useless) semicolons.

I wrote a little Prolog some 30 years ago. Probably those commas and dots have the same function, logic and, as you write.

I understand that it's a core feature of the language, but its really awkward when using Picat imperatively. I've seen this dynamic of obeyibg to tradition in many languages. The vast majority of developers are used to imperative languages. If designers of functional, logic, etc languages want to hijack those developers to their own language they could try to be creative and bold and give those developers a syntax their are familiar with.

Elixir has a Ruby like syntax to Erlang and had some success at onboarding Ruby developers. But it wasn't bold. Example: they didn't have courage to turn GenServer into a Class with a CPU. It's still a bag of functions, partly called by clients, partly called by the server, with method names (if it was a class) hidden in arguments and explicit state management.

The Reia language was a bolder attempt but unfortunately its designer liked Elixir and killed his project. My guess: there would be many more Reia developers than Elixir ones by now.

Yup, monoculture versus polyculture. I'm always amazed at how similar computer software behaves to biological life.
GPU parallelism is highly specialized and requires very specific workloads (e.g., many linear algebra workloads). GPUs are a bad choice for general parallelized tasks.
It's common for especially bigger companies that use JavaScript to use some framework that mandates static typing. This is true here at Google, for example.
Plus the phone number of a developer, with a response 24/7, I think.
There's a place, a time, and a style for everything though.

Were he to include a WolframAlpha link to a working snippet, and mention that you need true decimals, because IEEE floats won't cut it would have probably conveyed the same without what the other commenters perceive as useless boasting.
I second that :P
Release it! by Michael Nygard has lots of good info on design issues related to production systems and operations/devops of such systems.
Sounds like an exact description of me, except one major difference:

I get incredible anxiety after meeting people that disappears after a few days. It's not worth it at all and I'm extremely happy if I just avoid people.
He payed 250k for the pass, and 150k for the companion feature. I think the empty seats were fair, considering it nearly cost him double. AA just practiced this basic rule: make sure your customer/partner/citizens are always breaking some rule, so you can always get out of any deal.
I mentioned that twice. Also you don't address the rest.
This.. does not seem like an optimal way to run a business on Siemens' part. What happened if this guy got hit by a bus?
I don't think you're the only one. Like a lot of things that come from academia A, B and C are all well defined short functions where their pre and post conditions are clear. In real world code A, B and C will more likely be a mess of code written by 20 people over ten years resulting in the comment "DO NOT TOUCH".

As with all language features though, idiots will always take things too far.
So, basically, disable Gnome extensions and you're fine.
Exactly.

> they tend to follow brownian motion in 3D

Well, their entire neural system exists to make deviations from Brownian motion. That's the whole point of being an animal not a plant. And doing it well is very very subtle.

First steps towards modelling such behavior can be super-interesting science, not a terrible use of time at all. They can capture a lot of truth about how it works. But like self-driving cars, the thing that kills you is usually a weird edge case, not the basic thing.
Is this a good way of tracking an APT? Just from bytecode? Isn't that easy to fake? What if they were tracking Russian hackers instead?

Nitpicking: 230V +-10%, so on a good day it can be as high as 253V.

To be honest, I think this website is more about the intellectual challenge of constructing the layered dictionary than about actually providing a learning resource. But that is again because I don't see the point of using this for learning. I'd be interested in someone's concrete thoughts about how/why to use this.

To take an example from elsewhere in this thread, if I encounter the word "gauche" in a French text, I could just look it up in a normal dictionary, or I could look it up in a French multi-layered one and invest some effort into deciphering a French paragraph saying the equivalent of "X is on this side of your body: Most people do not write using the hand they have on this side of their body. They write using their other hand."

Sure you can learn such basic terms this way. But why would it be better?
I think this was a tongue in cheek comment about Windows 10 «analytics».
> To boot https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/109304 claims all versions are vulnerable and the vendor reported it

Of course, we never reported such a thing: a security issue in a 3rd party library, fixed more than 16months ago. And VLC binaries were updated 16months ago too...

The issue is that MITRE is not doing its job when assigning the CVE or even checking the validity of the claim. But they refuse to talk to us. Why?
I really wonder where the CVE got their "attack vector: network" and CERT "remote: yes" classifications from.

Even on vulnerable systems this seems to have been a local issue (or do they do that for anything that might potentially pull malicious files from outside sources? Sounds kind of backwards.)
I would like to add that this science already exists for thousands of years in such sophisticated form that it does not require external chemicals but rather focuses on enhancing what our body can naturally produce.

Imagining this gives you a bit of entertainment, but experiencing this makes imagination a childish game :)
Drama – UI design/prototyping tool from the makers of PaintCode
I have lots of hobbies and the time I’ve devoted to them changes over time. My primary hobbies are: playing music, traveling, reading, scuba diving, making.

A few years ago, I started making word clocks. Now I have a refined design that my wife and I are producing in our basement and starting to sell at low volume: www.finewordclocks.com.

Making clocks is also a great excuse to buy cool tools. We have a probotix asteroid cnc in the basement. I have a 3yo and 6yo. It’s been fun getting them involved in making things. Most of the presents for their friends’ birthday parties are home made (mostly by me but with the kids’ participation) and are REALLY well received.
They often communicate through a central hub. If the hub is not supported officially, some middleware (hardware or software) can be implemented to make both device communicate in the same language.

Say I have an AC with just a remote control, and Alexa. They both don't know how to communicate with each other

A hardware device allows to simulate the remote to communicate with the AC, it thus become a connected AC. But that hardware still doesn't know how to communicate via alexa, it just gives me a phone app and web hooks to control the AC.

A software middleware then creates this connection, connecting to the webhook, and registering itself as a device on Alexa.

Now, this is all very clumsy and tends to break easily. Make it harder to maintain when you have like 10 devices with three middleware etc. But that's the IOT tech debt we have to accept until everyone agrees on the same interface, which might never come.
Because one is a minor inconvencience, the other is psychological warfare used to modify behaviour.

It's baffling why you'd think the Google example is somehow less dangerous, especially considering its a given that they have profiled your political views as well as your spending habits, among every other aspect of your life.
I have a pair of Sony MX3 that I really like, but I chose them because they felt better than the Bose QC35. I wear glasses, relatively large ones to better hide the humongous lenses, so they can be a bit of an issue with headphones, but they haven’t been with the MX3s.

I’m sure both the QC35 and the MX3 are excellent. I’m also sure you may not agree with me on what feels better, so I’d find a shop that lets you try them on for more than two minutes. I also made sure to buy them at a place where I could have traded them back if they didn’t hold up to hours of wearing, so do that if you can.
There's a split in the office I work in. I have the QC35's along with a few others, but the rest have XM3's. I don't like the XM3's as I find them to be too tight (plus I wear glasses and it pushes the frames into my temples), but the ANC on the XM3's is better than the QC35's.

So it's basically down to how they feel when you wear them - consider the fact you might be wearing them for 7+ hours.

I think both companies do ANC in ear headphones too, if you don't like massive headsets.
What an obnoxious presentation. And I'm paying for this garbage.
The conventional wisdom: fat in the blood is the main thing to worry about (along with genetics) and that lifestyle factors have a big influence on that. So both, really.

Which part of that paper disputes the importance of fat?
Me too! I’m usually around 50-80 day without even trying to find time. My back had felt great!
Well beef is heavily subsidized in most of the world as well. Protein is also not an issue on a vegan diet. I got like 5kg of Saitan (isolated wheat protein) for 10€. I cook with it regularly. It's higher in protein than meat and you can do delicious stuff with it.

I don't disagree that it's easier for most people to just keep the status quo, but it's definitely not impossible to change.
Randomly I just hit this text related to the topic, it's easy to tell he does experience something beyond the thinking mind

I wonder if they used a cross platform library abstracting the two.
There's a few others. We have phenomenal dexterity and throwing ability, for example. We're also very competitive in other areas that are arguable whether they're "physical" abilities, such as visual acuity and ability to make sounds.
But the biggest issue is that they refuse that we become the CNA for VLC bugs.

So, they are the root CNA for VLC bugs, and they don't triage them correctly. And don't update the issues when we mention them.
Probably because when it comes to anything cyber-related, the German government, like most big companies there, is a dinosaur, greatly inferior to it's British and Swiss counterparts.
I used it few times, it's as good as the others.
I don't think there ever will be a silver bullet, what works for some companies won't work for others.
The real issues are people issues.
Nazis used the census because it was there. Were it not, they would have just went house to house - which they then regularly did anyway.

The antidote of oppression is not the Index statisticum prohibitorum, but quite the opposite, education, and in particular educating about how different each and every one of us is, and yet it doesn't take much to get along well.
I won't know who Hakan Kjellerstrand is, but if you quote him you should either put [sic] following "suites" or put [suits] instead of it. Gives a bad impression straight off the bat. You could argue language is different from programming but to my subconscious mind it speaks of a lack of attention to detail and excellence.
I guess the right way to do this is to setup something to 'auto-install updates' which prompts a call to the contractor to fix the corrupted excel file.
Penetrating debris? Won't this potentially create smaller debris moving at higher velocity? A net capturing the debris is safer.

> I really wonder where the CVE got their "attack vector: network" and CERT "remote: yes" classifications from.

They always do that with VLC: even file can be on a playlist, and a playlist can be sent by email or over the web, with a link...

So they classify all VLC bugs with network and remote.
I'm giving less and less of a fuck about this shit. Mostly because there's a point at which you refuse to be put on the run and don't want to hide.

So maybe this is where the fight begins. At some point people make up their mind about dying not being a very big deal, and to become masters of their fate.

To die on your feet, looking your accusers in the eye. Who would be so bold as to accuse me? Could I dare entertain the privilege to identify them?
What if you don't feel social interactions bring you anything positive at all? I get exhausted _and_ depressed by meeting people. Totally not worth it.
I don't write Picat, but when I write Prolog the color scheme for Emacs gives those operators a bright color so they stand out.
Not really sure what is so obnoxious about this. The whole article is made up like the NYTimes interactive articles are. Quite a high design standard to compare to and they're doing pretty well. No idea what you are talking about.
What are your specific criticisms? A blanket dismissal is not very helpful and additionally sort of off-topic.

For what it’s worth I found the presentation to be excellent. Extremely well readable, clear focus on text presentation and typography, tasteful illustrations that stay back and give the text the center stage but are still for the most part helpful, extremely well done and tasteful animations. (I read this on my phone so I don’t know how this looks on a wider viewport.)
If I'm understanding the article correctly, the hackers are using a easily reversed cypher for storing configuration data for their malware, which was reversed by assuming the presence of the string "C:\Windows\System".

Yes I suppose it would be easily faked if the faker had performed a similar analysis on the malware...
