So what? Doxing isn't inherently evil or inherently good. It has to be seen in context, and it is your and my and the journalist's moral obligation to look at the context first and weigh the likely harm to the person you dox against the possible good it can do. And it doesn't matter if the information was kinda public in some obscure corner of the internet or some public record or commercial database before. Once you publicize their information, you create publicity and draw a target on that persons back.

Dox some criminal? OK, but you have to be sure your allegations have merit and you've done your due diligence[0]. This is mostly what Krebs does.

Dox some politician who had an extramarital affair? Maybe OK. Dox their extramarital partner? Probably not OK.

Dox the latest terrorist? Generally OK. Dox every person that ever came into contact with the terrorist? Not OK. Publish personal information about the victims of the terrorist without their (next of kin's) consent? Not OK, even if you only report information you got from their facebook.

Dox some kid who misbehaved once on the internet, thereby directing an army of assholes on twitter to take notice, dox the kid further and bully them? Not OK.

When I was young (pre-facebook era), one of my teachers got murdered; her husband was later convicted. Some (tabloid) journalists showed up like locusts camping around our school, offering money for our pictures and other private information about the victim, her husband and their kids. Not OK. The same journalists also found "public information from open sources" about e.g. the kids' memberships in youth groups and such, and published that and also went to those youth groups for more information like they did at our school. Not OK.

[0] There was more than one case where "helpful" people on the internet and sometimes journalists published the names of alleged criminals who turned out to be entirely innocent, which didn't stop people from bullying them or even neighbors from forming mobs to "visit" them at home.
Though my metaphor is hyperbole, I can't stop thinking that this is the same as raising the standard of living of two homeless individuals by paying a small amount (perhaps charged per distance) and asking them to carry you around town in a sedan chair.

It's an improvement (they have no other source of income) and it's all voluntary; they might do enough miles/hours to leave the streets, or they might never earn enough to do so and just keep doing it until somebody devises a cheaper process to carry those who eat the extreme opposite of gruel.
In 2017 Intel acquired mobileye( the makers of the autopilot radar in the early Teslas), for 15.3 Billion.
That begs the question, if Tesla were to sell their autopilot system tomorrow, , given it's safety record, amount of training data, and new FPGA processor IP, how much would it be worth? 15, 20, 40?

This is why I find their delivery numbers completely and utterly irrelevant to company value.
This is a just a technology company that has produced a great user experience and is now scaling it.

Their main bottleneck is battery production and they're very competitive at it.

If the bottleneck was auto-manufacturing they would have no trouble raising enough investment to just buy out a car company.
And Krebs still hasn't apologised for his childish behaviour, or even so much as commented in it - he's just sticking his head in the sand, hoping it's eventually forgotten about.

I've stopped reading his blog and tweets, and he went way, way, way down in estimation after this.
Agreed, groups are a huge deal. Once I figured out groups my FB use changed dramatically. Now I'm on there all the time, my family and friends don't see what I'm doing unless I for some reason joined a public group, and miracle of miracles, you can even find file downloads in these groups and the search functionality works pretty well.

Facebook was in my no-thanks bucket for a long time, but that has really changed and it didn't involve any significant privacy compromises beyond the usual ad-sales stuff.

By the way, there are a LOT of people using assumed names in these groups. Some of them get reported and return to unleash their annoyance on the rest of the group for "whoever did that". It's a really awkward aspect of the experience IMO.
> Tesla isn't doing that badly. But now that they have some production volume, they have to be evaluated as a car company, not a startup.

While they're growing at this rate, they're still a startup and expected to use their available cash to improve their market share.
At least it lets you list your favourite drugs, i should imagine you need plenty of those working with this nightmare.
I really don't think you can judge a strangers internal mental state just by looking at them. You may have enjoyed delivering pizza at college but tons of people did not enjoy that life (maybe they weren't even in college!).
The difference is usually in the kind of customer you wish to attract - in India companies tend to focus on lower cost to acquire customers, and this works just because of the sheer size of the country. You have cities with populations in the millions, which have a sizeable population with access to high quality internet services. In the US, the focus would be on higher margins per customer, both because the total number of available customers aren't as high as in India, and an individual customer can afford a lot more than in India.
Waymo quotes $7500 per car for the LIDAR unit, which is financially feasible today for consumer vehicles, even if it only supplied level 3. It's trivial for a level 4 robotaxi. But only once the software works.

Even discounting aesthetics, Tesla couldn't have bolted it on to every car sold in the hope that it'll work in a few years time. They'd be bankrupt by now. They were forced to use cameras if they wanted any intermediate progress.

I get that there's a lot of misinformation about Tesla and you're trying to correct it. Even as a Tesla bear I acknowledge that.

But don't do it by creating further misinformation about competitors. You're just adding to the noise.
Does this news mean that if I learn to develop applications in the languages of Dot Net and benefit from the possibilities of Azuro, this will also benefit me in AI in the future better than learning to grow applications in Python
They could, but not as easily. On the other hand, the FAA will look very bad if the EASA and CAAC don't agree with them.

This is what I think is going on:

Part of the 737MAX fundamentally is that 737 NG pilots did not need retraining to fly it.

That's a nice goal, but it is not compatible with MCAS. With MCAS in the picture, pilots need to fly out two situations in a simulator: (1) MCAS goes bezerk and they have to manually disable it, and (2) they get into the kind of trouble that MCAS is supposed to stop and then MCAS doesn't stop it.

I think Boeing is hoping they can do a software fix but not add a training requirement and I think that's a major reason why the fix is taking so long. I can't believe that regulators will clear the MAX to fly again without the training requirement. If Boeing is trying to avoid simulator training, they are doing a lot of harm to themselves, their shareholders, their employees, airlines, their suppliers, the U.S. Economy, etc. If they bite the bullet and accept the simulator requirement they can probably get back in the air soon -- they might have to pay for the simulator training that they promised airlines wouldn't have to pay for, but that's probably less than what they are going to pay because of delays.

Another problem with their foot dragging is that delays beget more delays. The more time they waste, the more new problems will be discovered, the more it will cascade. The fast way out is the way through, but from the beginning to this moment, Boeing has not appeared to recognize the gravity of this situation.
This happened to Apple too, while logging API errors (CVE-2014-1317 - in this case it was hex-encoded).

Given the frequency that this occurs, I wonder if it'd be a good practice to use a sentinel value for a password during testing and grep logs for it.
The article goes into detail as to why this actually can't be used to build modules against the currently running kernel.
>It's just so mind-boggling how this shit doesn't lead to more people dying.

Medical errors do cause a lot of deaths: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2016/05/03/4766361...

I don't know if any significant portion of that is linked to bad UI design in EMR software, but it wouldn't surprise me.
Ask HN: How to get the most out of a structureless internship?
Hi HN,
I've been working at a company for about 5 weeks out of a 6 month internship, and I feel a little lost. Normally, internship programs have a bit of structure behind them, designed to introduce you to core technologies. The company I'm working for just started it's first undergrad internship program, and I've been lucky to work for them in their QA department. My question is this: How do I make the most out of my internship so that when I'm finished I get a sense of satisfaction and my boss feels like I have contributed to the company?
Thanks.
sure is. sorry, tried to make the best of a bad situation, alternative is weirdly spaced text
I don't agree that it's a fringes issue at all... Trump is filling stadiums with people making racist chants. These aren't the fringes of the right
Anytime you do something new its a gamble and things will go wrong.

Tesla has never been shy of using expensive components for their products. Their entire strategy relies on bringing down battery costs.

Musk makes a very good argument for his choice to not use LIDAR - nothing alive on this planet uses it. Every creature navigates our world on vision, even dolphins and bats use sonar as a secondary system. The proof of concept is everywhere, Tesla is just adopting it.

And yeah, they're purely level 2 at the moment. I don't agree with their marketing as it does lead some to use it as something more before its ready.
I disagree, and it was definitely not intended to be a put down. It's a question, because it appears the OP was speaking of GitHub as it was, not as it is.
I don't question their intelligence or ability to read.
But whatever.
Thanks for the book recommendations— right up my alley as I very much enjoyed Lane's "Vital Question" too.
Halting production wouldn't necessarily be a prudent financial thing to do. The reported problems were with small physical sensors and software. It would be much easier and cheaper to retrofit finished planes with fixes after the fact, rather then halting all production then rush to fill orders when the plane design is given the all clear
As someone in the industry (with domain knowledge), I can tell you that you are oversimplifying the problem and ignoring Tesla’s advantage and leadership in this space. Other manufacturers have to account for legacy systems/designs, it is not as trivial as you make it sound.
I do not know yet the best to learn Azure or Google Cloud
Safe is not a relative term in mass transport aerospace.

Safe means "not a death trap."

That level of safety is a hard prerequisite for a viable product. There is no ambiguity about this.
Fascinating. However, being an accountant, I have to wonder how it's possible to scale. With (accrual) accounting being so dependent on management's estimates, how does it work? Do you offer audit protection? Do you work with ext. auditors? Do you provide GAAP / tax guidance?
I have the same hindsight knowledge after using Tensorflow & Polymer 1.0 in production. It almost seems like Google is trying to systemize so many functionality at once it is bound to fail.

Every trade-off is essentially a bet in tech and if I would have had this insight at the decision moment I would have picked PyTorch & React instead.

Lesson learned dont let your opinion of a business model cloud judgement on choices in the stack. Facebook has made some remarkable innovative open source projects that just work for the first mvp launch.

React went against all advise of keeping styling & content separated. PyTorch compiled the graph on the fly while tensorflow required a very specific procedure to define the graph on forehand, in TF 2.0 they caught up with PyTorch.
Facebook generally groups their regions into North America, Latin America, APAC (Asia Pacific) and EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa), so the 50% "Europe" number you are referring to isn't really as comparable as "EU+Russia v. US", which seems to be an assumption you are making.

I did consider people with internet access, I just didn't call it out. I think it's beyond reasonable that Facebook has >50% penetration of the total eligible Facebook population with internet access, and I'd believe upwards of 80%. Internet.org essentially exists because Facebook knows that they've been approaching this ceiling for years.

Also, referring to duplicates+false as 11% and then false as 5% doesn't imply 11+5=16. It just means that "not unique individuals" is a superset of "not actually real people at all".
The period chosen misses a 10x run-up just before it.
You seem to jump from 'deaths of despair' to 'inequality is a problem'. Can you explain how you establish the connection?
You mean it will work with Microsoft Edge when Microsoft Edge becomes Chrome.
Better get Jepsen to test it. That would be an interesting read.
Fusion as a power source is only 30 years away now :)
They're definitely in a unique position, but there's always simply not wanting to crush their investor relations department, not that I have any evidence or suspicions that this factors in at all.
Many cancers are heterogeneous. Once a malignant community forms the established organized population deteriorates into chaotic competition.

They are lowering customer's urge of refreshed models with nice and quite meaningful software updates. Clever move, if you ask me.
Yes, if the increase is phased in over a few years you’re right, business will adjust. But many places have implemented a large increase in one shot and it’s had a really negative impact on small businesses
They explain it, but it's still deceptive.

I would have expected a honest benchmark result. Which will be much worse than 6%.

Which is totally fine! an interpreter will of course be much slower. But this seems like the wrong kind of marketing by omission to me.
Which car company do you imagine Tesla would have "just bought out"?

Keep in mind that Tesla couldn't even raise enough money to buy out themselves, not even at the incredibly discounted price of $420/share.
But that is ... wrong.

The US cops have talked about escalating risks for years but US cops haven't faced actual escalating dangers. One can track the actual danger faced by police and it has been declining.

The problem is the average citizen gets their information from TV dramas where cops indeed constantly face dangers.

I smell weapons grade bullshit.

>On Monday night, we discovered

Because one casually does security audits on a Monday night and then releases a "nothing has come to our attention" statement?

The one is proactive (on a monday night?) the other speaks of a response to an external actor. Which is it?

The mere fact that a release like this happened suggests some sort of legal/SEC/accounting requirement was triggered. i.e. Something happened.
I would actually be pretty much content if stuck in that position. I grew up without running water, electricity for an hour on Friday, confined to an island that was less than a square mile, and I had to entertain myself without the luxuries of modern technology. So, it is actually very easy for me to be content with pretty much any Western standard of living.
Does anyone know the risk of meltdowns for fusion? I know the energy released is several orders of magnitude larger then that of fission(what nuclear power plants do now), so I would assume a meltdown would be several orders of magnitude worse.
If we can create energy through fusion safely it really is unlimited carbon neutral energy. There is a limit, but the natural end of the planet will happen first.
This is great news! I had no idea we were this close to fusion.

Mutations impact pathways. Studying genetics and epigentics is fine. Metabolism is another angle but the brain itself consumes a lot of energy... it’s not just dividing cells. If you target metabolism you run a huge risk of killing the patient before the cancer does.
I think building a remote team should be more helpful in this case? Do you have experience hiring remote developers? Any advice?
If your supposition is correct, why should we, as a matter of public policy, protect the businesses that aren't efficient enough to pay employees adequately?

It's often argued that nobody can afford to, but here you seem to be assuming that it is possible, but it's important to preserve the companies that are uncompetitive.
Simpson's Paradox tells us that this is utterly plausible. Inequality is getting worse everywhere. While aggregate statistics shows inequality is decreasing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson%27s_paradox
What if the inequality we see today is a symptom of rising wealth across the board? If there is more wealth to go around, there is more chance a large portion of it gets into the hands of a few, due to the unequal distribution of talents.
I'm thinking about it. Do you have experience hiring a remote team?
Had not seen this though I am interested to anything Victor says, and climate change.

This looks like a lot of work went into it, and it seems to contain a lot of information. I wonder if there were an easy way to rank the innovations on various axes (most impactful for the environment, easiest, most profitable etc)
Indeed, and the line numbers are a warning that you might have an order-of-execution bug lurking somewhere.
Well, okay, one example of PC culture is sensitivity towards microaggressions. Based on your previous comment, you're probably already rolling your eyes, but bear with me. Microaggressions are usually (and very broadly) defined as actions which unintentionally marginalize people. These actions are almost never noticed by the person at fault -- that's what makes them "micro." Examples include things like calling a black colleague "aggressive" when they're arguing -- that particular language has been applied to black people for a long, long time to cast them as violent or criminal, and thus comes across differently than when applied to a white person.

Anyway, I list that as an example because what you're talking about isn't actually an example of political correctness (which is, again, a shitty term for basic respect and awareness of social context). Humans like black-and-white issues. It's really nice for us to be able to put things in boxes. So when we perceive someone's action in a certain way, our gut instinct is to cast that entire person as that way. Do people sometimes take someone's rudeness (even if accidental) and brand them a racist, discarding all of their opinions? Absolutely. Do some of my family members hear that I voted for Hillary and decide that none of my opinions have value? Also certainly. Humans are dogmatic. "Political correctness" is an umbrella term for cultural sensitivity, and can (like any idea) be applied dogmatically. It is not fundamentally dogmatic.
Forget about your learning style: learning how to learn
I think that's unlikely to happen. Even if it all is deterministic, the amount of variables at play will make it very difficult to determine the outcome beforehand (if not even impossible, eg Conway's Game of Life).
How many people died building the Brooklyn Bridge? Nobody knows for sure, but it was around 20 to 30. Could you imagine putting that many human lives into a bridge in 1967 or 2019?

I don't know death stats at all for the subway. I do know that it was three different systems operating at least partially independently of one another until about 1940 when they came together under city control.

I think they're viewed as the antitheses of "driving enthusiasts" (for better or worse).

Someone who appreciates physical buttons in a BMW likely falls closer to that side of the camp than a stereotypical Prius driver.

I personally would consider myself a driving enthusiast but would have no issue with driving a Prius as a commuter. Quiet, reliable, efficient.. and then I can feel less guilty if I want to have an inefficient "fun car" for the odd sunny weekend.
If you're poor and desperate, you're probably also agreeing to devalue your own time. If you feel that netting $3/hr is a good deal, because it's better than $0, that's one thing - but you're also enabling this thing to be generalized to others.

This is rampant in the creative world. Hungry and desperate musicians racing to the bottom, because getting paid _anything_ over nothing is "better". What happens is that they're devaluing the whole industry, and suddenly "paid in exposure" is a thing.

I understand that being poor can be hard, and short-term fixes can be tempting; But people need to see the whole picture.
Wow, I can imagine that going wrong in so many ways. Executions squads come to mind. Groupthink. Even less liability. Instant guaranteed kill instead of only probably kill, even fewer annoying survivors in court.
When I moved to Los Angeles in '88, I was at a Sunset liquor store one Friday evening when I noticed the normal looking tall gent next to me was Rutger Hauer. Bless his heart, he was alone and let me gush in semi-drunken adoration my disbelieve it was him, how much I loved his work and so on. We sat on the curb in front of El Compadre for quite a while chatting and drinking. One of my favorite memories in life.
I didn't say that either, and it doesn't matter. The problem is of the same general type. It's more than close enough. The FAA should be extra-careful, so maybe the A321neo will get banned. If the EASA wants to take a hard line on safety, they can hardly object.

After a bit of high-level discussion using that leverage, things may change.

These decisions, in all countries, are being made with consideration for international economic implications. The resulting decisions will be given technical justification as required.

What obligation did Krebs have to be nice to these people? Were they sources of his? Did he have a prior relationship with them? We can stipulate a bunch of scenarios in which Krebs would have been obligated not to publish Canfield's name, but it is not a general principle that he is enjoined from doing so; you have to identify the specific relationship that creates the obligation.

Sometimes those relationships are quite broad! For instance: on HN, it is generally verboten to out people. That's a rule we've adopted to maintain civil discourse on the site, and something we agree to when we decide to participate here. But HN has lots of rules that are not in fact rules in the real world; for instance, 'pvg regularly chides 'dang for enforcing the HN's idiosyncratic (but good) rule about not putting quotation marks around paraphrases of other people's comments.

Does any such circumstance apply here? The professional ethics rules of journalism have more the opposite directionality, cautioning journalists against maintaining anonymity of sources to the detriment of the readership.
