(sadly) do-not-track also doesn't work - it makes you stick out even more when activating it. best is to try to blend in with aggressive hardware compartmentalization. there are no solutions that can easily be recommended to somebody less tech-savvy which would protect them from bad actors (and GDPR or not - there will always be plenty of them).

> End-users, meanwhile, should have nothing but gratitude for P0, since that project essentially represents Google donating fairly expensive and scarce specialized resources to public interest work.

Why should end-users "have nothing but gratitude" when vulnerabilities are disclosed and they are immediately placed at risk until they get a chance to update, even when the vendor has promptly provided a correct patch? I know I certainly don't appreciate that and can't reasonably expect any normal person to appreciate it either.
Is it just me, or is the site extra fast now that it's finally back up?
The thing that sticks out most to me is that from what’s been disclosed, she didn’t need any insider AWS knowledge or access to achieve these attacks.

You could justify any ugly design under the "subjective" premise, even pink buttons on a #FF0000 background. But to anyone with good taste, it looks better now.
Mozilla certainly discloses more than other vendors do, but I'm talking to Mozilla security team members about this now, and maybe one of them can jump in here and correct me, but I don't think they can claim that all their internal findings are reliably (and meaningfully, in advisory form) disclosed.

Regardless: that's a good point. I should have said, public disclosure of internal findings is not an industry norm. Mozilla is a good counterexample to the argument that everyone close-holds internal findings.
I'd feel the same way about a space-based defense system but apparently it's full-steam ahead on that particular money sink.
The people on the internet are not the people outside is how I always think of it. Too bad the internet denizens so frequently shape and mold the conversation.
I've tried a few times over the years to play with it, but couldn't make much progress. The most recent version available is from 2001, and:

"But note that COLOR.COM can only run under DOS - not Windows. As you can see above, it's 9 years old and I no longer know how to run it. The current version is available at GreenArrays". But I can't find a ColorForth download at GreenArrays. And the "9 years old" comment might be from 2002!

Edit: And the FTP site seems to be down, so I can't even download it any more. However, I found a 2019 repo at SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/colorforth/

> Well, the doctors you asked had a vested interest, they are unlikely to say “we are mostly useless”, so I can just as easily discard that. See how easy it is to maintain one’s belief without evidence?

No, the doctor does not have a vested interest in lying to me. They're HMO doctors, this is but one facet of their job, and they're doing it because it needs medical oversight. Hell, the program itself was offered effectively at cost (it's in the HMO's interest to have healthy patients, so they charge just enough for the program to cover their expenses rather than treating it as a profit center).

In a perfectly healthy person, extended fasting is probably fine. Medical supervision isn't because it's particularly dangerous for perfectly healthy people, but because nobody is perfectly healthy and complications can arise with pre-existing undiagnosed conditions.

Apple's program has a few very specific classes of bugs that they pay out bounties for: these bugs probably don't qualify.
Obviously, because the alternative is that bugs never get patched, and get independently discovered by people who sell them to brokers instead.

If you want to get angry about this, get angry at the vendor that took your money and time and attention and gave you a product with an exploitable security vulnerability in it. I think the issues involved here are a bit subtle to warrant knee-jerk anger, but if you've got to get angry, at least get angry in the right direction.
Hmm, I wonder...is this video editor ffmpeg-based? That second issue sounds like the default behavior of ffmpeg. If I have a file with multiple audio tracks called "blah.mkv", and I run `ffmpeg -i blah.mkv -c copy blah2.mkv`, by default that will chop out all but the first track.
I love Blender. I'm not an artist, even though I've made a few little things in it, but I still think it's an incredible piece of software and a shining example of what open source software can be.

I think it's unlikely that "beautiful people will always be treated differently". For one thing, this is much less true today than it was a few decades ago, but probably more true than it was a few centuries ago. Further, what is considered beautiful changes constantly. I am attracted to women and what I found physically attractive in women 5 years ago is different from what I find attractive today. And you can see the same in broader society.

Maybe at the extremes, people will always be treated differently but I don't think that's a given.
> quite sad.

I wonder if you can expand on that.

What? I'm asking about why disclosures happen when patches are provided promptly. I'm not objecting to disclosing when they aren't. How does that "obviously" mean "that bugs never get patched"?
Haha, I see your point. I work with CometChat on content like this. Our content strategy is to help developers like us build awesome chat features. Our platform is a hosted service, granted, but we worked really hard to create a beautiful user interface and clear tutorial that anyone can follow to learn more about managing state in their Vue app. Any constructive feedback on how to improve?
The cache coherency protocol takes care of that. In other words the first part is just a memory load and can vary from 0 to a few hundred clock cycles, the second is local to the processor and has a more or less fixed cost. The worst-case execution time is completely dominated by the first part, the best case instead is dominated by the second.

Reading the article it appears that everyone knew that this was a filter. She asked for 100k donation to reveal her face, but no one donated this much yet.
They were at risk before they knew about the vulnerability. The gratitude is for the fact that it now actually gets patched.
I agree with people with more paying more into the general fund of the government. But when major parts of the US budget get deficit funded, why does higher education get individually loaded cost wise? It makes no sense, there's no real need to discourage people from getting too much education. And long term loans, are just as inflationary to issue to the economy - and when you collect the interest back long term, you're just causing a drag on economic expansion.
The disclosures motivate the patches. We're not guessing about that; we have a before/after picture of the industry prior to mandatory disclosure windows.
Am I the only one that was shocked to find out that we have around a thousand independent advisory committees on the payroll? As someone who is a citizen of the US and who is not a Republican or a Trump supporter, I think we do need to scale back funding in a large number of areas of the government given the huge amount of national debt we have taken on. Having around a thousand advisory committees seems ridiculous. Maybe the Jason committee should have been spared, maybe not, but I can't claim to be upset that we are trying to cut back.
> I imagine people exist in a virtual continuum and can change all aspects of their appearance

in our actual reality, that sentence is completed with "given they have enough money to purchase visual upgrades, and those without money using default skins are the ones that are discriminated against." (Sad, that I think that's what it would be, I too hope by the time we have that kind of virtual reality we're beyond money and discrimination.)
No, noise ordinances are in place to prevent people from interrupting each others sleep, which is necessary for maintaining a relative level of sanity. It is not analogous to preventing companies from forcing a specific UI pattern on a website.

Without video of the filter in action, I'm skeptical of the claim.

It seems plausible that the person on the left is using a filter of some kind.

"More accurate" is a good way to phrase it. "More accurate" also describes GR when you compare it to Newtonian mechanics. Strictly speaking, Newtonian mechanics is false and has been falsified if you subscribe to the Popperian view. However, if Newtonion mechanics is false, is it useless? No.

As it turns out, there are a few problems with the epistemology of falsifiability. The main ones I can think of are:

1. Duhem-Quine problem - there is a large number of auxiliary hypotheses under test in any experiment, in addition to the primary hypotheses. These very numerous and we need a framework for deciding how to apply the results of our experiment to the many hypotheses.

2. Statistical claims may be unfalsifiable. Consider a theory that claims that a coin flip has a 50% probability of being heads... how does one falsify this? One can't strictly falsify it, but you can show that the evidence is unlikely given the hypothesis. So we need some framework that connects statistical and probabilistic evidence to our knowledge of the world.

Or in summary, the problems with falsifiability are that falsifying a theory doesn't give us the information that we want, and it's impossible to falsify many theories. To abuse analogies, falsifiability is kind of like trying to cross a river with your car, when there's no bridge and the car won't start.

One approach other than Popperian falsifiability is a Bayesian system of belief and likelihood. This only one direction that the philosophy of science is exploring, but it is probably the one most familiar to HN readers.
Right?! I think there's lots of honest debate to be had about how superficial we are, but honestly, my reaction to this is "That worked? wow!"

This is exactly why I have problems with all the "AI / self-driving cars / CRISPR / etc" articles that correctly point out how long we've spent with revolution "just around the corner"....that corner might be far away, or it might be close and there's every reason to be skeptical of any given claim. But when it happens, it WILL be dramatically rapid, and poo-pooing the idea of thinking about it in advance just leads us to a society that was warned long ago of a coming adjustments yet is always somehow surprised.
Air launch to orbit has been explored a bit, although mostly by launching from aircraft to get more horizontal velocity— the hardest part of getting to orbit isn't getting high enough, it's going fast enough horizontally that you don't fall down to earth.

IITians are demi gods in India. This status puts a lot of pressure on student at a young age to crack this entrance. So much so, that there are regular cases of students committing suicide due to the pressure from society and family.

It took me 2 years to get over the failure of not getting into IIT. It's a really messed up situation.

Humble Crusader Kings II Bundle
I decided to work along with the ThinkJulia tutorial until I got to the first case study: Turtles. The ThinkJulia package installed fine, but the tutorial doesn't tell you how to get out of package install mode. After trying 'quit' and 'exit', a Ctrl-D got me out of julia.

Started it up again, proceeded with 'using ThinkJulia' which spit out a warning about updating a manifest file and to try 'Pkg.resolve()' which I did. It gave me an error, 'Pkg not defined'. Spent a few minutes failing to get the turtle, but did somehow wind up back in pkg mode which I still don't know how to get out of. To hell with that tutorial.
Nobody born in 1982 has anything in common with someone born in the 90s. If you want to make “millennial” that expansive, then it loses all meaning.
Not FOSS, but I can highly recommend Davinci Resolve. I actually have come to prefer it over Premiere and Vegas which have been my favorites for over a decade now. Compared to those two, it just feels like a much more modern, well polished product. The stability is what has really sold me after having to save Premiere and Vegas projects after nearly every edit because I never knew when they would randomly crash. Its free license gives you just about everything you will need and the multiplatform support is great. I really recommend you give it a try and see how it suits you.
Chrome Platform Status, Release Timeline
When the vendor provides a patch before the 90 day deadline, do you want P0 to never disclose the bug or to wait a month after patch was released, or what?

I think you're complaining that P0 don't give users enough time to patch - e.g. disclosing one day after the patch was released. If so, that is fair and I think they could wait longer, but for things like Microsoft, Apple, Android, Chrome, etc. security patches - those are disassembled and diffed within hours of release, and for some vulnerabilities an exploit is ready within 24h, so P0 disclosing everything so defenders can for example prioritize installing the patches, turn off features/services, etc. is generally a good thing.
But this is exactly the same situation as with the nukes:

There's no way any of us can change the situation individually. We're past the event horizon; nuclear war/catastrophic climate change is a certainty, and we're all going to die. Some brave individuals are protesting against it, and some people are preparing for it. But for most of us, it's a done deal.

I have a theory that it actually allows people to stop worrying about the future, and therefore we don't have to make long-term decisions. It's actually comforting in a "what's the point of saving money, we're all going to die in a nuclear holocaust/climate heatwave anyway. Might as well spend it down the pub now..." way.

That's a cool quote, but I think the reality of the situation is that as technology gives us more control of our personal appearance looks move from an explicit status indicator to more of a fashion choice.

Vain people will definitely still exist, but excess weight or baldness will be probably be a conscious presentation choice and social signal, rather than a marker of genetics or dietary habits.

In this environment it would be incorrect to say "no one will care", but hopefully people will care less and less as they age out of that period of their life in which self expression and fashion choices tend to have gratuitous importance based on our insecurities of youth.

> While education systems in west are focused towards collaboration, Indian education system makes them compete against each other like wild dogs.

P.S.: the "competition" is just for entrance to these premier Indian colleges. I guess, the same would hold true if you want to enter prestigious U.S. colleges like Stanford, Harvard, Yale, or any other Ivy League colleges. Of course, in India, the number of students applying is vastly different, which is what makes it super competitive.
Completely see where you're coming from. I work with CometChat and our attitude is to help developers build text, voice and video chat features.

We are a developer tool like any other. The fact that we're a hosted developer tool lets us remove the (potential) headache of DevOps and the (absolutely definite) headache of security and compliance like GDPR and HIPAA. Little things like message history become seamless because we can help manage your data for you.

I hope you don't think this is subtle advertising, though. We're sharing a really good solution and some handy free UI components we worked hard on. People learning Vue can benefit from this tutorial a lot too.

It is bad. Macs are expensive relative to how much usable silicon you get, and supporting a studio that needs to support iOS is tens of thousands of dollars to Apple's pocket I'd rather not spend. Contrast to Android which lets you cross compile from any OS and platform.

First: everyone is already at risk for everything that P0 finds. The difference is no one if publicly talking about the flaws or the risk in the open.

Second: P0 never “immediately places people at risk” because they always follow responsible disclosure.

P0 has a well documented and frankly fairly conservative policy before anything is publicly disclosed. Do vendors want more time to fix things? Sure, they always will. Do P0 disclosures sometimes happen publicly before the vendor has things fixed? Yes, Occasionally. However, looking at the net, P0 has provided far more value than they detract with public disclosure of flaws
