Muni monthly pass for an adult is $85. A round trip commute pays for itself within two weeks not including any other trips. 95% of the city is covered and anything that isn't is within reasonable walking distance. Unlike any business, its nearly guaranteed cities will always subsidize the real cost. The average resident is not as dependent on Uber as you assume.

Perhaps the most insightful comment I have read here in weeks.
You ran with swap on because you saw a bunch of other machines with swap on and decided the policy was invalid. Thanks for making real security jobs hell, this is the #1 developer excuse for avoiding security requirements.
> There is no issue of privilege here - if you are an attacker and you meet the privilege requirements, there you go, you can do these things.

It still doesn't really make sense to me. The SUID examples all show you -- as root, via sudo -- copying a binary into the current directory, and then marking it u+s.

If you can do that, then you don't need your new SUID binary... you already somehow have root access, so you can do whatever you want.

> But if you can just leverage what's already on the system you can avoid detection more easily.

Outside of a heavily-contrived CTF type situation, what system is going to have a SUID `cat` lying around? Or really, a SUID anything-that-isn't-normally-SUID?
it is the same thing in the end
Overcoming a "final" rejection can be as simple as moving a sentence from one of your dependent claims into an independent one. It doesn't necessarily mean every single claim is utterly un-patentable.

Obligatory warning: I'm not a patent lawyer but I've responded to both final and non-final office actions, eventually getting a patent
I can totally believe that someone in academia said something that sounded rude (and on a daily basis, for some people), and that's unfortunate. At the same time, registering and publicizing a "hate" domain name about someone's work could also come across as rude. Is there a scholarly CSE venue where you can share your experience reports, and make your arguments? It doesn't seem like HN has much foundation for evaluating or doing anything with the information.
This only appears to apply in Illinois, unfortunately.
Hooray! In my locale (Vancouver BC) we've slowly watched the city deploy more of those fake on-road-patios onto the main commercial street here and I'm hoping we'll just shut down car traffic soon since, honestly, if you're driving in downtown you're doing it wrong.
But why would they sell it to collections if people continue paying the minimums?
Replace the call stack with a state machine. Then you don't have to monkey around with coroutines to get back to where you left off.
I agree with the author's overall premise, which is that other people who don't own and who are not responsible for your system should not have authority over how you build and operate it. One of the things that I like about the current company where I work is that owners always have the final say about their systems, not any external technical authority. There is no such authority who could say no where I work (with rare and limited exceptions), and I'm glad for that; service owners make the judgment call about trade-offs.

> "so-and-so says no swap in production".

That said, while I understand the point of the article is something different, I broadly agree with this advice: generally no swap in production.

If you need swap, then that's probably a sign that the workload isn't matched well to the resources of the machine (unless the workload was specifically designed to employ swap, which most are not).

The problem is that: maybe most of the time the application's working set will fit within memory, and so it will perform well, but some of the time it will begin to swap and performance will degrade. The result of adding swap to a system is non-deterministic performance.

If you're building high-availability, high-performance production systems, then you don't want the potentiality of arbitrary performance degradation or non-deterministic behavior. Instead, you would prefer to solve the root cause -- such as by increasing the amount of memory available to the process or system, so that swap is no longer required.

An engineer adding swap to a system is like a doctor treating a patient's symptoms instead of curing their disease. Both are useful but one is preferable. If you encounter a situation where you could solve an application problem by adding swap, then an even better solution is to address the root cause -- ensure the application doesn't run out of physical memory. Swap is a band-aid that masks a risk better addressed directly. Hence: no swap in production.

(On the other hand, it might be fine to employ swap in production for services that aren't performance sensitive, and where it's preferable to accept the performance hit from using swap rather than pay more for better hardware. That's a fine trade-off if consciously made. In my experience, variations in performance are usually much more problematic to a business than changes to cost.)
Right, Khronos intends for SYCL on GPUs to be backed by OpenCL.

Vulkan compute and OpenCL are not entirely compatible (both are backed by SPIR-V (but different flavors of it.))
Khronos has chosen to maintain OpenCL (and OpenCL-next) separate from Vulkan.
Yes, it's an interesting article, but I was also disapointed that I'd never been emailed by Gackle and Bell. Then I remembered that I hadn't set an email address on my profile.
Can you clarify that bunkhouse point? Isn't getting a bunkhouse and pay similar enough to what the author had suggested? Or do you mean that you'd not be competitive with salary demands if you were to stay on-site year round and deal with local costs?
I used to have a “don’t know/can’t remember” man in my team.

Can you recall what this code you wrote previously do? “I can’t remember.”

Do you know where the files are placed? “I don’t know.”

Where are the documentations for xxx. “I don’t know.”

Do you know the difference between xxx in testing in production server? “I can’t remember.”

It was frustrating.

9 out of 10 questions were “I don’t knows” and “I can’t remembers”.

I’d much rather he said yes or no.
How long do you guys think it will take Intel to come up with an Infinity Fabric equivalent architecture? I feel like Intel wasn't working on it until recently and that it might actually be a few years before they can produce competitive silicon, especially accounting for the possibility that AMD is going to keep releasing on this yearly cadence while simultaneously leveraging full node improvements @ TSMC/Samsung...
>you’d still likely get bombarded with robo calls to the MVNO number.

Tim Cook agrees - "The hardest decisions we make are all the things not to work on. There is lots of things we'd like to work on but we can't do everything great. Most companies do larger and larger portfolios because its so easy to add. It gets hard to stay focused. Yet we know, we can only do our best work if we stay focused"

I have seen dang's tailored-to-individual responses to provocative comments on HN, and in my view they are THE gold standard method of diffusing these difficult sorts of discussions, both in real life and on the internet.

That type of moderation is rare and it is the thing that sets HN apart from other forums.
“When a camper isn't smiling or is on the outside of a big group shot, counselors said they know to expect a phone call from back home. Liz Young, a longtime camp director now helping oversee two camps on the coast of New Hampshire's Lake Winnipesaukee, said she now fields as many concerned-parents calls in two hours as she used to get all month - mostly from parents asking about how their kids look on camera, or whether they're being photographed”

So they now remind the kids their parents are watching, so they’ll smile.

Time for a new era a camp movies. Not sure if it would be a comedy, black mirror or horror movie.

Hasn't Exxon been rather profitable for the last 40 years? How have the investors of 1979 lost out?

In any case, my understanding is that all of Exxon's research was publicly available, so investors could look at it and judge for themselves what they thought the risks were. The idea that Exxon executives were supposed to make their own scientific determination regarding the magnitude of the effect of CO2 on climate - an issue that has since then been the subject of 40 years of intensive debate in the scientific community - is absurd.

Yes, absurd. This is not a good-faith law suit. It is political intimidation and extortion.
That thread doesn't say anything like what you claimed it did.

Your account is being affected by software penalties that it incurred earlier in the day when you went for full-out ideological battle in this thread. HN has software filters based on past activity by trolls, and after looking at how they were operating on your comments, I believe they were operating correctly. What you're trying to do on this site is not what we want, not what the guidelines call for, and most importantly, not what the community wants. That's where we take our cues.
>If a number becomes untrusted after a SIM swap, you may be better off getting a new number.

Do you only use your phone number for 2fa? People don't call you or send texts? Keeping the same phone number is still convenient so people can still reach you at the same number.
It appears limited according to the article because of an existing statute found in Illinois law.

Does anyone know if other states have similar laws? Wonder what type of momentum would have to manifest for other state legislatures to get a similar bill into committee for debate
From that article:

> “Theorem” means that if a bunch of assumptions, then borrowing has exactly the same effect as taxing. That doesn’t mean it’s true of the world, but it means that if you want to defend stimulus, you have to tell us which of the “ifs” you disagree with.

> So the biggest impact of Barro’s theorem is not whether it is “right” or “wrong” as a description of the world. The biggest impact is that, if you are at all intellectually honest, it forces you to deal with why it is wrong. Many proponents do not do this; they just cite one assumption they don’t like, on the basis of intuition rather than real evidence, and go back to simplistic always-and-everywhere mulitipliers.

> Can’t the facts settle this argument? Alas, not easily – and both policy and economics would be better if they acknowledged this fact.

The other bleaker outcome is that anybody who doesn't support the needs of the 0.01% will just be wiped out since they no longer serve a purpose. Think about it: sweatshops will be replaced by robots, menial healthcare tasks performed by robots, garbage collectors, janitors etc. None of them needed. So why give them food provided by the robotic farms? The only thing stopping a mass population wipe out by the technocracy is altruism.
This is an area that's always been fascinating to me, but that I've never dived into. I'm not overly interested in this particular program, just exploits in general and perhaps examples of how and why they work. Anyone have any resources that they've found useful?

Right. Using perhaps right-wing friendly terminologies, Yang is closer to the equality of opportunity end of the spectrum and Sanders is closer to the equality of outcome end.
How would this apply in a situation wherein a person uploads a picture of a minor that they are not the legal guardian for? Could that person sue the uploader of the photo for damages of having to go after Facebook? If situations like that are feasible under this then I would expect K-12 school districts to implement swift measure to ban all teachers from taking pictures of students as to avoid putting themselves in the middle. I find it egregious public schools don't have better policy on banning social media uploads of minors since it's such a gray area right now.

I don't think that's true, at least on Linux.

This program uses 1 TiB of virtual address space, and runs fine on a machine with no swap (and much less than 1 TiB of physical RAM).

#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
size_t const len = 1024 * 1024 * 1024; // 1 GB
for (int i = 0; i < 1024; ++i) {
char *p = (char *)mmap(0, len, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANON,
-1, 0);
if (p == -1) exit(-1);
}

}

The space won't be associated with any physical object (whether RAM or swap) until you actually touch it.

This case is about whether they can be held accountable; it has already been established that they knowingly violated the law. The law says that the aggrieved party can sue for $1000 to $5000 per violation, and Facebook violated the law millions of times.
It is not the the future liabilities are unknown. It is that exon had information that it new that would effect those liabilities and didn’t inform the stockmarket. It isn’t up to the company to work out how much that they will loose but it is up to Exon to give the market the information they need in order to make an informed decision.
Erf. This gets a bit complicated when those services start turning into a public forum because they're (effectively) the only gig in town.

I'm thinking YouTube, Reddit, Facebook, Google when I'm talking about these sorts of things.

We've also got the fun game of "Platform or Publisher?" and responsibility about the content on the site itself.

Is it right for a CEO to get charged with a crime if someone on their website offers sexual services (SESTA / FOSTA)? Well, if it's an open forum, absolutely not. If the company is in complete control of their content? That's a different story. Now the question becomes "how much control over content can a CEO give up and still remain responsible for the content on the site?" and where we as a society decide we need to end up on that gradient is where we answer the question: "what should site owners be able to do on their site."

I agree with you about software patents, though. I think software patents across the board do more harm than good.
I think I'd rather work with macros than metaclass magic.

Sanders is more focused on New-Deal style policies: expand Medicare to cover everyone, make public colleges tuition-free, and that sort of thing. His approach is more-or-less to shore up or expand the institutions we have and make sure everyone can get the education they need to compete.

Yang's approach is UBI: basically, give everyone monthly income with no strings attached and no means testing.

In both cases, the cost of the policies is offset by various forms of taxes.

Bernie's approach rests on the assumption that there are and will be enough jobs for everyone (if they have adequate access to the education, health care, and child care services they need), whereas Yang's is based on the assumption that there won't be.

In the long run, I figure that Yang is right (though we could also deal with the problem by transitioning to 30 or 20 hour work weeks), though Sanders' policy proposals better address the major problems we're dealing with right now.
> To be fair, there was no public record of it until 2012 or so

I'm not sure if reddit publicly acknowledged it before then, but it was certainly known that you were doing it. (It was also pretty damned obvious that you guys were fucking with vote counts -- e.g. "66% like it" on every post -- among other questionable anti-spam tactics...)

The earliest record I can find of the idea being discussed on reddit -- there might be earlier ones, this was just the earliest I've been able to dig up so far -- was in a suggestion by user ltbarcly back in June 2007:

> A better idea is a silent ban. Let him post comments, and show him those comments, but just leave them out for everyone else.

Source, as preserved by archive.org: https://web.archive.org/web/20070604141333/http://reddit.com...

There are also blog posts complaining about it from well before 2012 -- e.g. here's one from 2010: http://www.stochasticgeometry.ie/2010/03/09/silently-banned-...

The comments on it even use the term "shadowbanned".
It is waiting list, not a product.
There's a big difference between saying "no" to the right things (valuable) and a borderline oppositional personality disorder (not valuable). There's an art to saying no. Ideally you look for ways to say yes, and try and distill the nuggets of value and work them into your future plans while acknowledging that now may not be the right time to pursue them. Or nerd-sniping them with other ideas to leverage their enthusiasm and bright-eyed/bushy-tailed attitudes. Likely they're just looking for impact and don't know how to get it.

Otherwise you're kind of a dick, and nobody wants to work with that. Unless you're in charge and they can't get away, I guess.
I wonder how they're going to manage this. I could easily see some less than ethical researchers applying for this program and selling all the 0 days they find to the usual suspects rather than informing Apple.

My guess is that they're not going to let just any rando h4xx0r into the program. They'll take on well-known security researchers and academics who have something to lose by leaking zero days.
Letting certain people post uninhibited also hurts the community. There's no perfect solution.

> If a troll discovers this, they will be enraged and redouble their efforts if it's technically possible to get around the ban.

In my experience shadow-banning people on my forum, outright banning someone tends to enrage people much more since they basically realize they are banned in the heat of the moment that got them banned. One benefit of shadow-banning is that they may have cooled off by the time they realize, and frankly people tend to handle it better, even sometimes a "ah, touche" sort of mentality.

I've noticed my own posts on HN individually shadow-banned by looking at my comment history in incognito mode and I get it. "Yeah, I knew I shouldn't have worded that post so strongly."

Better mod processes help the issue. On my forum, people shadow-banned pop up in review queue at intervals. If they seemed to have cooled off, they can be unbanned. Mods can also vouch for certain posts like people can on HN with showdead on. There's a view in the mod panel that sorts people by vouch count and we can potentially unban people that way as well.

Nobody would need a shadow-banning mechanism if the moderators had unlimited resources. People forget that it's an effort to be on the right side of the trapdoor function.

Meanwhile I wager that people that don't think shadow-banning is ever just are coming from an idealism you tend to have before you actually try running a forum and realize the extent a single person can harm your community and waste everyone's finite time.

But not having swap will cause the machine to misbehave (https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/unix/NoSwapConseque...). Swap in this situation acts like a backup, surely you would prefer temporal degradation then total system shutdown. The solution here is continuous monitoring of free memory (we use datadog) + swap.
I don’t think that you can look at a specific patent in isolation and 30 years later hand waive that it wasn’t worth it.

The existence and availability of obtaining patents on new publicly disclosed inventions heavily incentivizes R&D efforts overall. The disclosure and exclusivity properties encourages constant innovation and novel discoveries in order to compete. There is unquestionably a constant arms race to patent new ways to provide features which amaze users. I assume Amazon was then and continues to be now absolutely laser focused on developing patentable user-facing features which increase conversion.

The same patent system which gave us 1-click also gives us technology like Apple Pay, which is a delight to use along with impressively secure. In 30 years I assume people will be lamenting how obvious that was too.
Linters are probably the single biggest productivity boost an organization can engage if they don't yet have one.
I don't think so. I don't see anything to click that would let me do that, but I'm happy to do so if someone tells me how.

How can it be argued their pay isn't fair? If women's soccer is like every other major sport, male athletics will produce much much more value than the women's side. Being paid more is a reflection of more production.

Should men get paid the same for donating sperm as women get paid for being a surrogate? Should women who labor make the same as a man who can labor more effectively? I think the answer is no, that's ridiculous.

Of course this type of issue only goes one way. I don't ever see powerful entities getting any reception in industries where men collectively get the short end of the stick. Even though men are much more likely to be in poverty, homeless, etc.
