I think idioms and style have some level of overlap.

Semicolons could be considered idiomatic or stylistic, for example. Requiring strict equality operators feels more of an idiomatic way to avoid bugs, rather than simply whitespace. Eslint certainly has a number of rules that are more idiomatic than stylistic.

If you're touching on the lack of consistency in, say, open source javascript, I agree, code is all over the place. Also, I think you're looking at a language that has had dramatically more evolution (especially in recent time) than most other popularly used languages. Old code without promises and suffering from callback hell feels archaic.

However, I think if you look at, say, TypeScript repos (which is cheating, I know, it's not javascript), there is more homogeneity, at least from what I've seen.
Here you go :)

I thought they were cheaper due to the better energy efficiency. Less electricity means less cooling required, double whammy!
Depends who’s buying I imagine. Not sure about everyone else but I always picture the entities buying on the black market as singular people for some reason

When you consider it could be the likes of the three digit shoe inspectors over there in the US it could be a fair chunk of change
Makes sense in this case. I guess you can just deploy the microservices as containers on the same machine or what have you.
Jupiter’s Colourful Palette
From the article:

>Previously, a company called Zerodium was vocal about how much it will pay researchers, before handing them to its unknown government customers. In January, the secretive company announced it was offering $2 million for a remote hack of an iPhone.

So that's already more than what Apple offers. I tend to think they'll always be outbid.
Rossman tried to claim that Apple seized the batteries (they didn't: the DHS did, independently of Apple) and claimed they were counterfeit when they weren't. Except he was actually smuggling illicit batteries into the country (willfully obfuscating this fact by hiding the Apple logo) and then making videos claiming that they were completely genuine and Apple didn't want him to have these because Apple personally hated him.
In Italy it has been merged into electricity bills. I kid you not. And of course, the state broadcaster (RAI) is still chock-full of ads on all its channels. This is because it's not a media organisation as much as a cash-machine for aides and cronies of the government du-jour, with each channel literally allocated informally to each major party. You can imagine the average production quality.
Without a plan on how to accomplish that replacement, that's more a wish than a solution.
You give them your phone and and the ability to unlock it, now they can copy all your stuff. The phone they give you back isn't yours, you have been pwned.

Large scale machine learning that can curate, crop, and find all the most interesting parts of all the content uploaded.

Youtubes recommendation algorithm is aimed at maximizing hours watched, its essentially a retargeting algorithm (it only wants to show you what you already watched). A system that eschews revenue for providing useful content you may want to watch could give a big edge. You need all that content though.

I know this "no man", had to work on an approval from him once, and I actually saw the infamous code change that implemented this. I don't remember him reviewing it. IIRC it was sent to a mailing list, to which he might have or have not subscribed.
That seems unlikely, shadow banning has been around for a long long time.
Website for resizing image without losing quality
I have been wondering if we could built something on top of MPEG2 and AC3 and MP3, Codec with patents that had expired and something that is truly patents free. Which reminds me of Musepack, based on MPEG-1 Layer 2 [1]. Truly amazing quality at the time even when comparing to high bitrate AAC.

Again, I'm sorry about Camera Roll. I understand your frustration. But perhaps I can share some insight into what's going on and why:

- The choice to finish moving Flickr or not was literally the decision to keep Flickr on the planet or not. There was no wiggle room in terms of timeline or resources to get the job done. So we had to make some hard decisions, because I, for one, didn't want to see Flickr disappear entirely. For good. This was more likely than most people understand. (See: https://www.vox.com/2019/1/23/18194865/verizon-layoffs-aol-y... )

- Camera Roll wasn't used by most users. When we were faced with the question of "ok, we're going to have to temporarily shut off a major feature to meet this deadline", Camera Roll was the obvious one due to its relatively low usage. I'm sorry you rely on it so much, but it's very clear that's not common relative to other major features.

- Camera Roll being offline hasn't affected usage materially. There appears to be near-zero evidence that many people "basically stopped using" Flickr due to this feature being offline.

- Based on your comment, I checked with long-time Flickr employees who are still employed here, and none can recall Camera Roll being central or core to the Flickr experience, nor it being the landing page. Our usage data, both before and after shut-off, supports this perspective.

- One reason for a smaller # of updates about Camera Roll is simply that it's not done being rebuilt yet. We prioritize time spent building things rather than time spent updating people with "Still no update". I think most customers would rather have us ship it sooner rather than talk about it more and ship it later. The last updates are still true. It's not done, but we're working hard and it is coming soon, which we've said recently, more than once.

If you truly love Flickr, as I do, I hope this perspective is helpful. We (the royal "everyone on Earth" version of "we") nearly lost Flickr forever. SmugMug saved it, but we had to make some hard choices. So we did, and I'd still make them again. Flickr is in good hands, we're excited about the future, and we're excited to get back to building again.

I hope you stick with us.
How are any of those questionable tools?

Sure, don't put arbitrary shit on the internet and know where your data is going. But every example you gave is incredibly useful to many people on a daily basis.
Great answer - thanks. HN is a better place because of answers like this: logically structured, has references, simple but not 'dumbed down'.
Your comments are only backed by your misinterpretations of the sources. There is a reason that I am asking you to analyze what you read. What you are saying is not how business operates.

Have you personally ever worked at a major corporation where someone decided to unilaterally change the terms with 6 or 7 suppliers. What are the chances that all 7 very litigious studios would have gone along with AMC making that decision and just shrugging?

You said yourself that AMC has very slim profit margins. One lawsuit would wipe their earnings out.

That's what has been happening so far. Here's a report from a couple of years ago about this:

The announcement today is actually raising the rewards 5x (from $200K to $1M) to make it more valuable to report this to Apple.
Going to Apple for repairs does not guarantee a quality service. See: The Apple Store Genius Bar Broke My $5,000 iMac Pro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MG_NRcy5mxU

"Subpar" is a very mild word to describe what was done there.

A related short story by Asimov:

https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eforcier/someday/someday3.xml
"Another $500,000 will be given to those who can find a "network attack requiring no user interaction.""

The implication of this conditional reward is that interactive use presents more/easier attack opportunities than non-interactive use. To clarify terminology, it is arguable that "non-interactive" can be a synonym for "automated" in this context.

Further, we might argue that canonical examples of "interactive" use are clicks, drags, taps or swipes. In other words, the prevailing "UI" for many users and the one promoted by many developers.

Now, if you agree these are fair statements then it is also arguable that from the user's persepctive it could be useful to engage in non-interactive/automated use not only for reasons of efficiency or convenience but also for reasons of "security".

Finally, given these propositions, the question I ask is why website and app users are continually faced with "terms and conditions" that seek to prohibit non-interactive use. Interactive use benefits those running a website or app server in at least one obvious and significant way: more interaction means more data to collect. But if we accept the implication of this bug bounty it also means greater risk to the user.

Regulators need to protect the user's right to use her computer, including a "smartphone", in a non-interactive manner. This right is constantly under attack (no pun intended) by those who are in the business of collecting user data. Interactive use can result in less data privacy and more/easier attack opportunities.
The company knew the physical ramifications from at least the 1970s, suppressed that knowledge, and now we are locked into decades their product manifested for many decades.

Ya, rereading what I wrote, I might have missed a part of what I was trying to address.

I don't think anyone is proposing that humans then do nothing and watch VR porn while being tube fed for the rest of their lives. There is indeed an infinite amount of things left to do.

The question is given this 'initial condition' where everyone is where they are currently in 2019, who does that work.

Is it the 56 year old truck driver who's now 100k in the hole for the truck he bought that's now useless with automated trucks and who's using his disability benefits to feed his opiate problems from the painkillers he needed for his back from all the hours in the truck? If he's not the guy we're putting in CERN trying to demonstrate the next Higgs field interaction, what do we do with him?
Is this just a number blacklist thing? If so, presumably you could get a regular mobile number and port it to your VOIP setup.
I was dissapointed to open the app again - I had been using it frequently when I switched to paper thought-records. When I reopened it I was greeted with a paywall.

Alternatives on iOS exist such as Thought Record that are free. Until there is an obvious value proposition that differs from free alternatives, I see no need to pay merely for a 'quirkier' interface.
They're only illicit if they have the Apple logo on them when they shouldn't, which is the whole point of taking it off.
The skeptical movement subscribes to critical thinking, empiricism, and applying the scientific model to find answers. To say that skeptics don't believe in climate change is very untrue.

This is contrasted to denialism which denies claims out of hand. This is not based on scientific data, but gut feeling or motivated reasoning.

Dr. Ichikawa is thus describing denialism in his tweets.

ECC support is built into the IMC (on the CPU) so de facto, every single Zen chip (except the non-PRO APUs) usually have support, but official support is still on a per motherboard basis (and you'd probably want to check the memory QVL as well) if it's important for you (it was for me) so it's best to check each board model's specs.

The Asrock X570 board mentioned definitely has support, as do the other high-end X570s I looked at like the Aorus Master, Asus C8H, Pro WS, etc.

Based on X570 BIOS updates so far (and their overkill VRMs this gen), I think the Gigabyte/Aorus boards would be my pick atm (I went w/ a C8H and I'm somewhat unhappy w/ the CPU/memory voltage wonkiness when tweak, but it does give me 30 IOMMU groups, so I'm able to do GPU passthrough via VFIO to a Windows VM w/o any issues).

Some suggest these are great for CTFs,but their main use is for defensive restrictions and monitoring.

Based on these known abusable behaviors of the programs,you can for example construct auditd rules or selinux/apparmor policies.

And no,these are not exploits or vulnerabilities,they're just ways of performing post-compromise tasks without having to bring your own malware or operating within a restricted environment.

You are absolutely correct, I worked in a well known UK electrical retailer in the 90s and we were indeed obligated to provide the names and addresses of everyone who bought a new TV to the TV Licencing Authority. (Last time I called it an "Authority" I was criticized for using "overly dystopian" language to describe it, but that's exactly what the legislation calls it too).

I researched this the last time TV detector vans came up (it seems to be on repeat on HackerNews a lot...), the legislation was repealed in 2013 so it's not done anymore. It was for sure this that was the real enforcement tool I imagine prior to 2013, rather than the mythical van. Much easier to just check the address against the TV sales database than randomly drive a fleet of vans around the entire country!

Neither helps in the short-term (say in the case of getting popular from a viral post where not living up to the momentum can mean losing out on the users), and while shared governance can work in a case where all parties have the same goal and are deep-pocketed, it has many risks when it comes to creative control and the user privacy/monetization scale. (What if someone had privately offered one of the MUD staff $500,000 to collect 'anonymous' data from users?)
Uhhh. Nope. Simply untrue. Cochrane is on-record as asserting that the fiscal multiplier is precisely proven to equal zero. Did you even read the link? His 2011 "paper" simply lies and says it isn't so, but gives literally no explanation or nuance, just lies.
The New York AG has the obvious advantage of having jurisdiction over the world's financial capital. Other states may often lack the nexus with the business to have standing.

Then, it's simply a matter of experience: corporate and especially financial law is beyond complex, and they have the expertise, plus the financial resources, to investigate such cases. New York law is also similarly ahead.

And, of course, the majority of Attorneys General are currently Republican and have absolutely no interest interfering with corporations unless those happen to be involved in journalism, renewable energy or other despicably altruistic lines of business.
TLDR: Two zero days. Complex social engineering including spoofed university emails and identities. Not a lot of detail.
Yes, these particular types of data can be shared (as you say, sharing immutable objects obviously doesn't require copying since they're immutable); but I took "shared data" to mean being able to share arbitrary objects, since that's the sense of "sharing" that is relevant when we're talking about various forms of concurrency. If all I can share between concurrent computations is those limited data types, then I have to pickle/marshal everything else, which is effectively the same thing I have to do with multiple processes.
I get these letters regularly. On principle I refuse to deal with Capita/BBC/TVL and would rather they waste the money trying to contact me. There is no obligation to deal with them unless they get a warrant. Only once have they visited and left a calling card but fortunately I was out.

I agreed with you from your opening thread until you held high Dylan's lyrics, rather than his instrumentally produced melodies which entranced me in the 80s. Poetry is not legalese or code, and is open to interpretaion.
The point I think is that as GitHub adds more and more integrations (git + issues + fork graph + CI/CI + ...) then it's not so simple to move to another service. The vertical is more convenient until you realize you're an Oracle customer all over again.
I'm amazed that this is only the first time since the introduction of ATSC. "Rescanning" your TV is something that happens once every couple of years or so in the UK, to pick up new channels or update changed ones.
I do not believe a springboard crash counts as a hack of the kernel.

Nowadays shadowbanning is so widespread that I wonder if it's useful at all.

It's the kind of thing that blows your mind the first time it happens to you, but then you learn to check for it everywhere.
Indeed, the only "benefit" we received is that everyone ordering merchandise online had to use multiple clicks for 20 years, and Amazon probably received a nice settlement from their competitor. The implementation is fairly obvious and shouldn't have been patentable.
This seems backwards.... they are offering more money for attacks that don't require user interaction because they are HARDER, not easier, to accomplish.
I'm a bit of a "no man", and at a company I worked at in the past my (pseudo-technical) manager told me to spend hours creating some sort of extremely purpose-specific test environment to aid in resolving a ticket that would only take me 30 minutes to resolve directly - so I just resolved the ticket instead and closed it, and got on with the rest of my work.

Eventually I was dismissed from this company a couple of days later and this situation was raised as one of the points. I was told "you can't refuse a mission given to you by your manager, regardless of the circumstances, that's ridiculous" and when I replied "I have different views to you on this" it was considered to be rude. The person who dismissed me is more or less the management boxing bag - a certified "yes man" who nobody respected.

Of course this hasn't changed my attitude, though. Still a proud "no man" and wouldn't go with the flow unless I'm sure everyone completely understands the consequences. At some point people have to realise that their loyalties don't go towards their manager and instead should go towards the shareholders and clients. There is a bit of give on this, of course, but eventually you have to do the right thing by the people that actually stand to gain and lose - not just being another cog in the machine that exists only to support other cogs in that machine.
Note that random hackers from the internet already have access to these devices.

> and they do not cover inventions whose implementation is obvious to most experts in the field

This is (ahem) patently not true; there are plenty of patents whose implementation is incredibly obvious. Insultingly obvious. As in, "Did that company try to patent string comparison?"

Look up the "standard network byte order" patent, for instance. It's now expired and was never enforced. The friend-of-a-friend who got that patent was heard to exclaim "I can't believe they gave that patent to me!", which should tell you a lot about the quality of the patent industry then -- IMHO it hasn't changed for the better.
Subjective. But then there's always uBlock Origin, which blocks crap automatically without breaking stuff. Who wouldn't want that on their phone?
…but then you can't claim that there were genuine, as Rossman did in his videos.
great point. The details he left out was how much salary is he currently receiving. If the others are not pulling a salary because there is no money coming in, or have not pulled a salary from this for 5 months, but he has, then he is an employee.
