That's egregious but have you ever looked yourself up on any one of those crazy info scraping sites? usphonebook.com and dozens of their ilk? You might be shocked by what you find. Some colleagues had all old email addresses listed, not to mention correct current address and associated persons.

Point is, Facebook probably already have it, the Enemy probably can easily get it.

Facebook is of course evil, I don't want to diminish their scraping and also security mishaps.

Search Guard site is here: https://search-guard.com/company/

My gut feeling here is that Elastic is probably right. The SQ team is very small, while that doesn't mean anything it does make you wonder.

On the other hand, does anyone know if a company that small has any viable way to defend themselves against someone with deep pockets like Elastic?

The complaint submitted to the court presumably has more details. It would have been nice if the blog post had included a link to it directly, but they did include the case identifier.

Edit: I went ahead and dug the information up. Here are the details about the court case on PACER (requires login): https://ecf.cand.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/iquery.pl?924893974295...

This appears to be a link to the specific complaint: https://ecf.cand.uscourts.gov/doc1/035018374190 (20 pages, ~1 MB)

Edit: I've uploaded the complaint to the RECAP archive, which I believe you can access for free as a PDF here: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/16154366/elasticsearch-... (see document #1)

One of the claims that's easy to summarize is that Elastic alleges that floragunn made massive changes to its codebase shortly after Elastic released proprietary updates, contrary to floragunn's typical development practices, and that these changes included copies of Elastic's proprietary code:

> On June 7, 2018, just over one month after Elastic made the source code for XPack version 6.2.x publicly available under the Elastic License, floragunn made a sudden and very large change to the Search Guard code. This change comprised 244 additions and 145
deletions of code. Many of these changes involved the wholesale copying of the X-Pack code that
Elastic opened little over a month before.

The complaint goes into more detail with specific alleged examples of source code copying, showing the code in Elastic's codebase and the corresponding code in floragunn's.
Not sure what you mean... A Prius is actually one of the single best production cars around in terms of aerodynamics (Cd around 0.24).

That stubby tail is actually done on purpose because it reduces drag, not increases it as you claim. A lot of aerodynamics are pretty counterintuitive. Look at the big table of drag coefficients here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_drag_coefficient

For the Bugatti, they probably weren't going for an ultimate low drag coefficients. They need to make sure their giant engine is getting enough air, which leads to lower performing shapes. Related, they also will want a lot of downforce to make sure the car stays on the road at high speeds; to do this they build a relatively non-aerodynamic car.
Thanks for the detailed response.

When it comes to the life span of the keyboard, how easy are they to clean?

With this Amazon one, I seriously spend about 30 seconds every 2 weeks wiping it down with a small towel and it's as good as new in terms of cleanliness.

I'm not a neat freak but I do know that build up of whatever can definitely play a role in how the keyboard feels over time and full size keys tend to collect a lot more debris over time.

Also if you don't mind, what would be 2-3 recommendations in the $50 range where quietness and overall "this feels great to type on" are the biggest goals?
> It's interesting how many organizations had problems with build.rs. Other build systems like Make, scons, or autotools have the ability to run arbitrary things in any step in the process compared to Rust which has a clear separation.

I think the history behind this is that Cargo was built with only Rust in mind; when your world is 100% Rust, you generally don't need much extensibility in your build process. Make, scons, and autotools all seem like they were designed to be more language agnostic from the start. It'll be interesting to see how cargo needs to evolve to be able to support interior with other ecosystems at the level that larger companies need.
PROTOCOL LABS | Filecoin Research Project Manager
Remote | $120K - $150K + FIL grants

Protocol Labs is a fully-remote research, development, and deployment institution for improving Internet technology; projects include IPFS, IPLD, libp2p, and Filecoin.

The Filecoin network achieves staggering economies of scale by allowing anyone worldwide to participate as storage providers using novel Proofs of Spacetime and Replication. On this robust global market, the price of storage will be driven by supply and demand, not corporate pricing departments, and miners will compete on factors like reputation for reliability as well as price.

Seeking in particular a Research Project Manager to provide direction and intent to our ongoing research efforts in blockchain/distributed ledgers and cryptography, as well preparing for Filecoin's network launch. Current avenues of inquiry relate to consensus mechanisms, SNARKs, and depth-robust graphs, among others.

I have been working in this problem space for the past year or so developing a new kind of social media that I think has some merits. Take away the advertisement model, the public nature of discourse, and replace it with meaningful context-driven one-on-one conversation and I think we might have something. My platform can take any topic and disseminate a discussion to as many one-on-one conversations as people who are willing to participate. https://www.confidist.com -- Would appreciate it if anyone wants to take a look at the current build.

I wonder if being on Facebook reduces your motivation to build new friendships (it does take some work) since it allows you (with little effort) to maintain some form of very limited remote relationship? Maybe without Facebook, we (remote people) would be more motivated to build new local, face to face, and fulfilling friendships?
Even Deming said that you can be focused on eliminating defects and fail to keep the market share, fail to delight with your product development. "The most important figures for management of any organization are unknown and unknowable."

A lot of times, management fads are a procrastinating activity for the organization. The real problem is they are lacking direction. Imagine Apple, circa 1998, going 6 Sigma instead of becoming product-focused. They would get more and more effective at producing a computer fewer people want to buy every month.

Look at what Juran writes about the development of the Ford Taurus, the car that really pulled Ford out of a slump in the early 80s. How much of it is focused on preventing defects? No, it's about designing quality into the car, defining quality as the things that make the car something people want to buy over another car. Doors fitting tightly by having low variation in size is just one aspect, important but not enough.

For Tesla, quality is a 200+ mile range, but also a bunch of other things, without which people wouldn't pay for the battery. I assume that Tesla has quality control but the stories of disorganization in the plant suggest that it's not running at a similar level to the Japanese plants, which also produce millions of cars people want to buy. Nevertheless, they are focused on what makes demand for the car.
As always: for most software, the consequences aren't that bad, so a company that was really rigorous and disciplined and as a consequence a bit slower might well be out-competed by a company that's run in a bit more 'fast and loose' way.
> No and no. The goal of regulatory compliance is to avoid liability

But the way you avoid liability in this scenario is by implementing controls that reduce risk. You can fudge the audit if you want to. But for most regulated industries, if you have a major incident, you’ll have an investigation. If that finds your controls actually weren’t in place effectively, you can lose that protection, regardless of the outcome of the audit. The PCI SSC will tell you that a merchant that has been breached has never been found to be compliant at the time of the breach, and that’s probably true.
You just have to use a bank connected to Zelle and it’s done through the bank’s mobile app. There’s 400+ now apparently so it’s hard to be banked and not be connected somehow. The alphabetic list is on their site.

If there is one unique solution, then constraint propagation always works, yes.

But a propagated constraint isn't always just a single value at a time. There are cases where a solver (human or machine) needs to identify that a group of two or three or more cells mutually creates a constraint. ("Naked twins" and other such configurations, in Sudoku jargon.) Which can recursively cause to exist another such mutual constraint, and so on. Identifying every possible way such a constraint can arise isn't a simple operation either to implement or to execute, computationally speaking.

For both Norvig's programmatic solver and for a human, it's possible and common for trial and error to be faster and more expedient than trying to identify and execute every possible means a constraint can arise. Norvig's aim was for implementational simplicity more so than computational elegance, deciding to care about only the simplest possible type of constraint, and let trial and error handle everything else.
I can't claim credit for it; I hadn't even realized it had happened until I dug a little bit into the history while reading this thread. All I knew was that my userChrome.css was still working fine... ;)
One thing I am trying to understand . lets say there is a
super flash crash and take Acme INC

Day 1: (before crash) price : 200$ S&P 500 weight : 2%

Day 2 :next day market crashes. Acme is very low volume so price crashes to 1$ .

what happens next ? do all the EFT that follow S&P have to sell all ACME for 1$ because it is
not in the S&P 500 anymore.

Day 5 : ACME jump back to 200 $ and is back in the S&P 500.

So my question is what would have happen to a passive investor. if he bought 1000$ worth of ETF right before the crash. Will he still have a 1000$ dollars at the end of it .
Maybe Uber and Ubeam will join them.

Even if it were still functional organization this would be outside of it's purview. This is all SEC territory.

We need a system that doesn’t require project managers, at least not as a full-time position.

I don’t think they’re all that necessary. I think they’re a byproduct of considering developers as high-functioning autists not capable of managing themselves, and we’re in an emperor’s new clothes scenario.

All of the PMs I’ve met have either been wholly non-technical, or they were allegedly technical 20 years ago and they have no understanding of modern technologies. Useless either way.

I think by getting rid of project managers, and the managers of project managers (who are even more disconnected from what’s going on) companies would save themselves a lot of money.

Senior developers could take on a management role. But that’s the key, they should be developers, not people who have a PMP certificate and don’t know what a compiler is.
> And uncommon words are much easier to understand, given a dictionary, than common words are. The fact that they're uncommon means they don't have the wide variety of meanings and usages.

A somewhat related phenomenon is that many fancy words in European languages have Latin or Greek roots, so foreign language speakers can correlate with a similar word in their own language, or, for those of us who wasted some of our youth on this, may even be familiar with the word in the original language.
Fair enough, but then on the other hand who knows where a continuation of widespread carefree usage of psychedelics would have led us....perhaps to a relative utopia, perhaps to societal chaos that would have resulted in a ban that would have lasted far more than 50 years. Either one seems perfectly plausible to me.
You mean an old type of browser? That's like, where we started.
> On the other hand, does anyone know if a company that small has any viable way to defend themselves against someone with deep pockets like Elastic?

The Search Guard code has been taken by Amazon and rebadged as https://github.com/opendistro-for-elasticsearch/security

So they're not really fighting Search Guard at all. They're fighting Amazon with this.

And Amazon would probably (and certainly has the money and business case) to rather buy out Elastic than to lose this lawsuit by proxy - and maybe that's what Elastic is actually playing at.
OmniSciDB is useful when you need really high-performance from a relational database. Think <100ms query times over billions of records. This level of performance is useful for streaming use cases, operations, repeated drilling into subsets of data, etc.. Note that OmniSciDB refers to the open-source relational database portion of our product.

Using any of the OmniSci open-source charting libraries is useful when you want to do something using only OmniSciDB (i.e. not wanting to purchase Enterprise Edition), or when you want to create a custom visualization that isn't provided by OmniSci Immerse (our commercial visualization tool). Some of the work referenced in the blog post was in partnership with the creators of the Vega.js library as research into high-frame rate and large data interactivity in browser visualization
If thing explode and you can't do anything about it then you are clearly in a cargo cult, not under a management that understood the underlaying philosophy; it is a glorified flow chart and you have to come up with your own practices for each step unique to your own process(es).
I now see your point, thanks.
I was thinking this “google_push” is probably not unique (a.k.a many users could have the same) but the adtech providers could check the ids + timestamps to help with the match. NB: Google is not syncing with everyone on the same page view so the adtech providers have to be lucky enough to be synced on the same page view. Another question is: what is the “google_push” entropy?

Having worked in adtech, I can tell you the adtech providers probably don’t do that, for those reasons:
1) those adtech providers are usually competitors
2) if they work together, they can already sync their user ids directly together (so using google id is not necessary).

So I don’t think Google intentions were malign here on this particular point (contrary to Brave communication and all the press coverage).
But yes, Google shouldn’t add entropy by sending the same “page view id” to different adtech providers. Note that Google is “better” than the others here: every other adtech providers send the same user id to each partner (persistant identifier, not session or page view like google). And those providers are sometimes quite big: for example, AppNexus or Criteo trackers are also everywhere on the web. Overall, it’s the RTB system with all those cookie syncs that shouldn’t exist, and except for the “google_push” argument, Brave study is quite good (they are just explaining how the adtech world works).
And why not? The entire political process is kabuki interspersed with conversations with important donors and lobbying groups that actually establish policy.

Nihilism isn't the answer, but neither is demanding a particular kind of we're-all-professionals kabuki without any real change. Flipping over tables is at least something.
On the surface it seems pretty simple- the end of history utopianism of the '90s has mutated to the end is near dystopianism. There are no shortage of statistics explaining why the standard of living for the average American has dropped off, sometimes sharply, compared to that era. Hence accelerationism is now king.

For a good analysis for why both the far right and the far left are unhappy (more so than in other ages, at least), there's this article on neoreaction, which became vogue to talk about in 2013 before the present dominant political trends: "Shedding Light on the Dark Enlightenment" by Rick Searle at the Institute for Ethics & Emerging Technologies (https://ieet.org/index.php/IEET2/more/searle20131202)
> It is simply a fact that the Second Amendment was meant to preserve the people's right to overthrow the government (or, at least, to defend themselves against the government).

Nah, this is totally wrong. The Constitution explicitly gives Congress power over state militias to suppress insurrections:

"The Congress shall have Power To... provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions" [1]

Further, the Militia Act of 1792 allows the president to take control of State militias, and this was famously used by George Washington himself to quell the Whiskey Rebellion.

> Madison famously wrote that state militias would keep a federal army in check.

He did, yes, but he was talking about States vs. the Federal government. He also later saw how bad militias were at being an army (a point Washington argued over and over again) in the War of 1812 and changed his position in favor of a strong, standing, Federal army. And FWIW, we put the question of States keeping the Federal government in check to bed in the Civil War.

If you drop "pocketable", I think the super-super-zooms are really amazing (canon sx60hs/sx70hs and nikon p900/p1000). They exceed what phone cameras and DSLRs can do.
I'm totally with you, I speak at effectively 1.5x in real life, so that's what feels natural to me listening. But I get turned off if something needs to be sped up _beyond_ reasonable human speaking speed to be palatable, like 2.5x or 3x. It's like putting a pile of salt on really bland food. I get the feeling that I'm panning for gold.
> That's a false equivalence, because you're assuming that this system is the only one which benefits the poor.

I'm not assuming that, i'm merely stating that this one does. If your goal is to benefit the poor, and you have a system that does so, you should be happy. If you are not happy, it is not because you are upset about poverty.

> The worlds poorest will suffer from climate change the most and this system is only making it worse.

Yes, and unfortunately mitigating climate change is directly at odds with alleviating their poverty. It's a tricky problem.

Depends on what you want to run on the private server. If you want to run some app like emby and file sharing and things like that, https://cloudron.io is a good choice. Basically, you don't have to worry about updates and maintenance. If you want to do it all on your own, maybe you can learn to deploy via docker and friends.
I think the author had that insight, just chose not to use that route because it wasn't necessary. For either a human or machine solver, the trial and error route may well be simpler / less code / faster at runtime than implementing and executing every way to recognize a set of N peers for N values.
If you really want to understand it, I would encourage you to write down notes about it by hand.

For some reason I do not yet understand, the motion of physically putting pen(cil) to paper helps ingrain that information into your brain, in a way that typing it into a computer does not.
