I have a hard time feeling sympathetic to either party here. Clearly the man was violating the terms of the contract with speculative bookings and booking seats for his luggage under fake names. OTOH, the airline clearly intended for these to be like lifetime gym memberships where people buy them and then hardly use them (an unrealistic expectation for something that cost $250K in 1980's dollars) and was looking for any way possible to cancel their obligations once this didn't play out as hoped.
This is a very good question. By now, there is a git repo (https://github.com/br-data/2019-winnti-analyse) for the more technical folks (includes yara, some scripts etc.)

We don't have focus groups, but we want to convey to our readers are certain understanding how these operations work. What threat hunting is, why it is important and all that.

At some point you have to make some certain decisions. One was not to explain what a rolling xor is. So yeah, we had to simplify a lot. The truth is, though, this stuff is hard for most people, myself included.

Hope that helps.
I did internships at some top companies in the automotive industry. I can only confirm that.
Price inflation locally is definitely related to the cost of inputs (like minimum wage). You're right about the academic definition of inflation, theoretically with a fixed supply of money, a rise in minimum wage would simply be offset by a reduction in jobs, hours or profit. But the money supply is ever increasing, so here we are...
A library version with unfixed security vulnerabilities absolutely should be classified as "shouldn't use".

>Not doing so is an asshole move.

Dictating how researchers should choose to publish their work product is an asshole move.

If someone chooses to share their work product with you privately, that's very charitable of them. It's not reasonable to expect charity.
I meant stripped from the mail body - though I suspect these programs would also strip them out of the other fields (I haven't checked that). In general, working with zero-width characters is a bad idea from both security and usability POV and is not a practical solution.

The result is that the only reasonable and compatible way to mix LTR (left-to-right, like English) and RTL (right-to-left, as with ME languages) is with HTML email. Note that in most cases rendering is an LTR context, so even sending RTL on its own will fare poorly.
1. Minecraft is the biggest selling game, or was at one point. Games should be fun, pretty is an after thought.

3. Its harder to pirate multiplayer games than single player only, thats why they ditched them.

I don't think single player games are high risk / low reward but the games industry is defiantly laser focused on high risk / unrealistic rewards.
These are some wild numbers. Please recheck. I don't know anyone that can survive in Calcutta on $70 a month. Out of college, people earn about $350-$650 dollars on the monthly.
A related/derivative concept that ties into the existing lexicon is name Vs pseudonym.

Bitcoin for example, uses
pseudonyms... not anonymity. A pen name or a hn username is a pseudonym. A voting system needs to be anonymous not pseudo-anonymous^, by using a pseudonym. If each voter had a secret number that is attached to each vote, that is a pseudonym.

"L is 32 years old. She works as a nurse in Moscow." - L is a pseudonym. It isn't anonymous even though the name is ommitted.

^This can get grey, as even a piece of paper with an X on it will carry certain metadata or related data: which voting booth, etc. But, the goal is anonymity. IE, the X cannot be tied to anything else.
I came here to say exactly this. It's even harder for the real right-to-left use in the ones I speak, where we frequently mix Hebrew/Arabic with English, for using certain words that just don't exist.

Plaintext mailers completely mangle emails like this, making them beyond unreadable. Mutt to its credit does the best job.

It sounds like this is a very myopic view. My favorite quote is quite apt here "Assigning single factor causation to the output of complex adaptive system is a triumph of hope over experience."

Here's my theory - Coinbase had explosive growth largely due to tailwind effects of the BTC craze several years ago. Since crypto trading has basically flattened coupled with competitors entering the market, then Coinbase is likely no longer growing and may in fact be doing less revenue than it was previously. Company's start to scramble when they cease to grow. Stakeholders double down. Employees start looking elsewhere. Executives make brash decisions based on emotions. etc etc.
There is an audience for "minimum wage kills jobs" articles and you can't write an article without a source. It's sad but true that the majority of the service industry is in perpetual failure mode, therefore, you can always find multiple business owners (they're "experts" right?) who will blame their failure on whatever the latest bogey man is.

Again - I genuinely believe hyper-local minimum wage hikes are especially stressful to the service industry. But articles like this make me almost more skeptical of that belief, because if this is the best they can do to make the case.....
it is not clear to me if this covers re-identifying.
Hydrophilic disc uses solar power to separate salt from water
> the author prefers dubious advantages to real improved security

Encrypting the data transfer doesn’t improve any of the HTML email security issues. So I fail to see how that would be “real improved security”.

But I do share the authors sentiment on the failure to not using open standards of both Protonmail and Tutanota. So maybe I’m biased.
I did not know that you could buy (patented) cow semen that is sorted to guarantee to produce only female cattle. I have family that operate a small-ish farm with several hundred cows and they certainly do not use such technology. It just a matter of fact for them that female calves are worth significant more and half the time you get females and the other half you get males. I will somehow try mention this in passing to them, through I suspect they do not do use artificial insemination which is a required step for this technology.

I also wonder if in the future chicken farms will apply this when the technology get more refined, the patents expires and the cost of artificial insemination is cheaper than wasting time and resources on eggs only to then kill half the offsprings.
Just because they haven't used the ₹ symbol?
> treat reporting as gospel and don't validate

Indeed, and they've been doing the same thing with projects like jackson-databind. 10s of completely meaningless CVEs issued for each new deserialization gadget that someone finds and gets added to a blacklist designed to protect a known-unsafe use-case (deserializing user input whilst defaultTyping is enabled).

It causes a huge waste of resources on the blue side.
What a load of bollocks. The arguments against come down to, 'you are an idiot who can't figure out phishing links' and, well, that's it. Something about marketing emails. Stupid. Luddite. I'm surprised they don't insist you use a monospace type face in your email reader to give it that late eighties feel.

I have always used HTML email, even when it was new and poorly supported. I want people who read my email to see a nice appearance. I like bold face and sometimes images.

"Strongly preferred". An appeal to the Authority Fallacy is an indication of a weak argument. Or, no argument at all.
Woah. The business model analysis blew my mind. Why is this not on HN front Page????
The hint that it’s bullshit is when other obvious levers “cannot” get pulled. “My labor costs went up 8%, but I cannot raise the price of a sandwich!” If that we’re true, restaurants wouldn’t be able to charge $3 for a 12oz fountain coke in a glass cup that costs $0.10.

Guess what... you can. If you can’t, usually there’s another, self-inflicted reason. If you look back a few years ago, there was a significant tomato price increase and you had similar stories where expensive tomatoes were prompting price increases on the menu.
real ones? :D:D
As Portuguese doing consultancy in Germany, the market is way better than in other European countries.

Why I Have a Website and You Should Too
The people you are interacting are not sending HTML email on purpose, but simply by accident because of details. I would hazard to guess that if the default was changed that they would not noticed.

Given all the communications that you receive, how often have typographic 'flourishes' been added in a useful way that would need mark up more advanced that ASCII/Unicode?

Given the following (from the article):

* HTML as a vector for phishing

* Privacy invasion and tracking

* Mail client vulnerabilities

* HTML emails are less accessible

What exactly does adding mark up give you on a day-to-day basis over a text/plain Content-Type?
If a business's profitability drops, that very frequently translates to lost jobs or cut hours in order to preserve expected returns. Otherwise the business may close entirely and the owners seek to invest in a more profitable venture.
I think having all your own basic lab equipment is key. In most cases one can’t do effective embedded development without such gear.

I think for small companies with short term embedded needs, you can actually be extra valuable, they don’t need to invest in all the gear and know how for a one off a project.
What you describe is pretty much exactly parallel to the automation of physical work. Having a steam engine gets you a long way, then the first few robots a bit further... there's no particular reason to want a factory with zero employees (except the watchman and his dog...) unless you want it to work on Mars or something.
That is partly due to fragmentation in my opinon. There are just so many games I want to play but there just isn't enough time. Even games that are a perfect fit for my personal tastes can go unnoticed this way. And the amount of games being released is so astonishing that even fans have difficulties to keep up with major releases.

That said, I don't consume many AAA-titles, I think game developer conferences are boring because they are 98% marketing vehicles and I just look up some streamers to get to the good stuff.

Factorio just offers more than call of mortal combat fantasy 85. If this market and especially the mobile segment has problems, I wouldn't really mind.

Sure, there are indie developers with good games that will feel this fragmentation. But I don't think anything can be done about it. Developing games is just a popular idea right now.

Since gamers started to finance development themselves, the result has mostly been awesome.
Wouldn't uniformity be a bad thing for less common Linux distributions since whatever targets the famous distros would also work with the less common distros but while the former have the big userbase and skilled security team, the latter will be left exposed? And in turn create a vicious circle where the less common distros will be used even less and the more common distros even more, thus creating a monoculture that despite being open source gives control to a few organizations and/or individuals?

(of course this issue with uniformity can also happen outside of security reasons - e.g. if all distros provide more or less the same experience then why bother with a small distro?)
Previously[1] I was using Kakoune with the Rust LSP, now I'm using Atom with the Atom-IDE-Rust plugin, which is mostly just the LSP backing it I believe.

You are way off in your guess about the cost! According to the study you yourself linked in another comment, the subsidies are $12.06 per cental, which is 26cents per quart. The subsidies are a big part of the margin though (3/4 of it).
You can use the search tools to find libraries for the categories you're interested at:

As a personal answer, I really like unitful for keeping track of physical units and libraries like MLStyle.jl or Match.jl which add stuff like pattern matching to the language (though they are more general helper libraries compared to stuff like Turing.jl and DifferentialEquations.jl):

In Toronto they did something wonderful. DATA. When they implemented transit priority on a previously more car-centric road, of course you had some small business owners screaming murder, saying their sales were down like crazy (we heard 30-40%) and wanted compensation. Majority of business actually supported the new project because it was about bringing more people total (more people fits in transit than would fit on a parking lot).

Turns out that the city had a partnership with the credit card processors to measure the change in spending before and after the implementation of the project (on a aggregate level for all the shops on that street). Surprise surprise, a year later, they were able to prove there was no drop in business. We never heard again from those business, and surprise, they are still open.
This ship has long ago sailed. People are using email less and less these days as it is, anyway. I get personal emails less than once a week now.

You'd be better off pushing people to using email for communication in place of walled-garden IM or social platform du jour (which I also think will be a losing battle in general, but perhaps more worthwhile), in which case being able to make your email look nicer might even be a draw.
I'll address more of your comment later, but for now let's start here:

>Only an issue if the client rolls their own HTML renderer. Outlook uses the IE Trident Engine, Thunderbird uses Firefox' engine, Gmail transforms using the Chromium engine internally. That means the email client is usually as secure as the respective browser, unless you use a mail client that rolls their own engine.

This is not true. You can't just drop a modern web browser into an email client and have it magically be secure - if you do, your client will be broken and insecure. A huge number of browser features have to be removed - loading external images, stylesheets. scripts, images in stylesheets (except datas URLs, so add a special codepath for that). Things like animations aren't desirable, nor forms, etc. The list of things you have to turn off is huge and getting longer with each browser release. And you had better keep up with those releases, as each one fixes a half dozen security bugs which are inevitable in a technology whose specification alone is a million lines.

I think lots of people are in it for the benefits - I know I got excited for bitcoin partially because I know what an immense pain international money transfer is and that market is ripe for capturing. However bitcoin seems to go up when there’s a big improvement in ransomware and other scams. You might be right that bitcoin’s basis could significantly be scams.
> AA's interpretation of a vaguely worded rule

It's debatable whether or not frequent speculative bookings constitute fraud. It's not debatable whether booking a seat for your luggage with the companion pass under a fake name is fraud.
Breakfast being the most important meal is a lie that even doctors and nutritionists pass along. It was a lie so well crafted by the food industry that it's hard to convince people otherwise.
If someone can force download and install an application through browser/email then the issue isn't with the application being downloaded and installed but whatever allowed the application to be forcefully downloaded and installed (that is, your browser/email client).
I wonder how much of this is more easily (or less easily) handled with Ruby-like blocks. One can pass in a procedure as an argument to handle the conditional execution.
These are the assumptions but I think there’s room for interpretation on that. Nintendo hardware is not particularly cutting edge and while multiplayer is a focus of the switch it’s local multiplayer they are focusing on. Nintendo has been doubling down on great gameplay and polish which is making bank for them while other people are chasing poly count and expensive networking infrastructure.
In permaculture we say, the problem is the solution. That farmer should take 1/4 of his land and have airplanes drop rice. The worst case it doesn't work but he learns a lot, the best case is he has a new crop for when this situation occurs.

Retirees and savers are not entitled to below market labor rates (nor interest rates high enough to live off of savings and investments [1] [2]). Save more and/or get a job.

Unemployment is at its lowest in 50 years [3]. This would be the ideal time to implement minimum wage increases, so any workers let go are reabsorbed into businesses that can pay the new minimum wage (while those that can’t go out of business). "Creative destruction" and all that jazz. The more disposable income minimum wage earners have, the more mobility they'll have, and with it the ability to move to locales with better housing affordability.

The Fed can’t generate a small bit of inflation with trillions in quantitive easing and holding interest rates down (and as a side note, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis has even said "Pay more" to attract the workers needed [4]); raising the minimum wage is unlikely to cause inflation any appreciable fashion (compared to existing housing and healthcare market dysfunction).

Previous HN thread 15 days ago [5], with WSJ article showing the federal minimum wage bump to $15/hr can be implemented with little downside, along with the CBO report the article is based on [6].

Not having inline images is an issue though. It helps immensely with readability and usability. Especially with people that aren't as computer-savvy.

Partly because many email-clients will list attachments below the mail content. And since it is standard practice to include the previous mail when responding you have to scroll a kilometer to get to the bottom with the attached images.

That is just unusable. Yes, it is an issue with bad clients and not plaintext. But nonetheless it is a big issue.

I think this opinion is strongly worded and might get some heat, but I think you touch on something important.

Plaintext email often serves as an in group shibboleth to distinguish “us” from “the other lusers”. Does it have merit beyond that, or do these articles just reinforce that?
Maybe you should read the entire page? It specifically warns against top posting and quoting the entire email you're replying to.

So if people followed this advice you wouldn't have to scroll a kilometer for attachments (unless someone actually wrote an email that long).

I think there are still threats that come from improperly anonymized data, beyond my own government or a single stalker/harasser.

For one, that this data is improperly anonymized would make it an easy avenue for malicious nation-state actors to use to track/analyze/destabilize the population. If I am a government with an interest in freaking out the US public, I could quite easily de-anonymize sensitive datasets and begin using them for wide-scale harassment, identity theft, etc. on an automated basis.

The lowering of the bar makes it easier for Johnny Troublemaker to start harassing people based on their PII as well. Instead of paying for the data, just download some datasets and run a Julia notebook against them. Maybe not much changes for the targeted stalking case, but now you can cast a wide net when looking for someone to mess with.
I can send you the list per email and you can exclude the ones you don't like or even add some.
It was pretty amazing. I recall Doyne Farmer was there too - he had this crazy custom coprocessor card for his cellular automata explorations. I got to write some stuff to run on a CRAY Y-MP. Got to to play with NeXT black box serial no. 36. (LANL had the first 50 I think). Lots of crazy cool people and tech!
What is 'algebraic' about algebraic effects?
This is something a government should absolutely do, it's basically disaster prevention. However I don't think democracies are well equipped to handle such tasks in general: decisions are made by people who are either part of a body of hundreds of people or frequently have term limits that prevent them from seeing the consequences of decisions on disaster prevention. This creates a lack of consequences and personal responsibility. In comparison a dictator-for-life is easy to blame for all problems, he just may not care.

Ideally we would find a better form of government. I don't have any particularly good ideas though.
Having lived in sub $15k a year, it’s pretty easily doable. That being said, they also rarely make just $15k, most have multiple jobs. Finally, you assume they should be making more or have a better quality of life. Unskilled labor really doesn’t have anything to bargain with, because they don’t provide much value. Arguing in relation to your salary is silly, because your skills have value (and from the sounds of it are growing in value). We can’t make up value, that’s why other people go from $15k a year to $0 a year when we take away their job by increasing minimum wage
