My first guess would be concern that buses driving all the way up to the mall would somehow impede the flow of traffic for cars.

My second guess would be that, Milwaukee being such a suburban flight city, there are certain. . . perceptions. . . about public transit and the people who use it. I used to end up in some rather uncomfortable conversations when people found out I regularly used public transit.

My best guess would be that it's officially one, and unconsciously both.
You are outside the three year patch window that was explained when you purchased the device. No iPhone 3g is going to get patches either, nor a RHEL version that has reached EOL.

2 months for those particular websites. There's a difference between the timeline that a vulnerability existed, and the timeline of a specific known usage of them. Apple is trying to confuse the two.

If I discover a security hole that's been present in Windows for 10 years, but only know of an active usage of it say, in the Ukraine by Russia, I'm going to say that the vulnerability is 10 years, not 2-months. 10 years is the length of time you could have been exposed. 2months, Ukraine, tells you how much more likely you were in danger for that location.

But you should not act as if the vulnerability existing for 10 years didn't affect you, because you don't know about how many other people were using it.
> I don't see anything that would preclude them from installing some telemetry for this specific attack.

Why can't an exploit just disable this?
Yeah, but I also remember when it was the explorer itself that was bad. I don't know if they've fixed it, but Windows Explorer failing to show copy status and things like that was really disappointing - that's not 3rd party, that's not even outside of the OS team.
Does Julia provide benefits over other ML frameworks for research?
The level of hubris here is pretty high. "No reason"? "No performance benefit"?

Porsche is spending billions of dollars to bring a very high performance track-focused sports-sedan to the market. Hundreds of extremely good engineers are getting paid millions of dollars to figure this problem out.

I'm sure the transmission is a giant set of engineering tradeoffs (what project isn't), and maybe it won't work out and will end up being the wrong solution.

But it can't be so obvious that random Joe-and-Jane HackerNews know the answer off the top of their heads and Porsche doesn't after all the resources it has spent to figure out the problem.
oh man after actually looking at the website again, I realized that I had the two confused for some reason and posted the wrong one. at least someone came through and gave the proper one.
I can "tell" them. What a farce.

Until the title reads "New Law Criminalizes Sale of Private Data Without Consent", this crazy train will never stop.
What the article gets right is that the ev revolution is, after decades of wishes and slow progress, finally taking off. It is also right about the great changes it will bring to the auto industry.

What the article gets very wrong is the timeline. It says,"The Center for Automotive Research and other firms focusing on the impact of new technology on the auto industry don't expect electric vehicles to account for more than 10% of the sales market until the late 2020s"

No, that's all wrong. The big shift is going to start to happen around 2023 when battery prices will fall low enough that ev's will start to have sticker price parity with ice's. Ev sales will explode, slowed down only by how fast production can be increased. By the end of the 2020's they will be over 50%.
If anyone has worked in the travel industry especially around product or marketing I have a question. Why hasn't anyone built this yet?

I get emails from airlines telling me about all their deals to a continent, then seem to expect me to research all the destinations myself before I can even decide if their deal is relevant to me. In the age of personalisation this just seems so.. vague?
> elsewhere you claimed that Google knew because they "crawl"

I most certainly did not.

> PFirst one I went into -- third party reported, widely known problem in external graphics library. Project Zero did not find it, did not report it, and this is just tourism after the fact that points the finger outwards.

You specifically asked if Project Zero did such a public analysis of a bug, which that post is exactly. If you wanted Project Zero discovered issues there's a whole boatload of them on their issue tracker.

> Or maybe it's just that Android bugs are expected, so they don't get much attention any more?

More whataboutism. And also wrong.

> This isn't a hugely compelling example of their intentions. Show me one where they make the extraordinary claim that it was long exploited without any evidence whatsoever (elsewhere you claimed that Google knew because they "crawl", but in actuality this Project Zero claim was made purely based upon the span of versions the bug targeted), or make editorial comments about QA or source control processes. Instead it looks an awful lot like hand-washing.

Show me one where they do that about iOS. You are reading things that aren't there. Google did not make any extraordinary claims. Kinda like how you accused me of claiming "Google knew because they "crawl"".

The "editorial comments" on code review/QA are covered in the follow-up posts. Notably task_swap_mach_voucher when called with a valid voucher would kernel panic. There is no charitable explanation for kernel calls that are reachable by any application and never work. The "editorial comments" that are you objecting to are, if anything, too soft in their phrasing.

There's a few articles floating around that say shoplifting is greater at self checkouts[1], but apparently its not enough to keep these jobs around without regulatory distortion.

One way of thinking about it is that the store shifts responsibility to both the shopper and the police (in the case of shoplifting) but the police might not agree to the additional workload [2]

If it's about money for you, you might be one of Those People.

You know... the people who negotiate their salary.

People who aren't team players, in other words.

We can't have any of those hanging around here. Lowers the tone.
But wouldn't that be more productive for the business to have people always producing value, rather than rushing things in for a deadline and slacking off immediately afterwards?
The iPhone article doesn't read like that, either. The news articles sensationalized it, but the PZ post didn't.
This is an excellent write-up! Some friends of mine worked at one of the psychology departments as programmers/IT-guys while studying CS, lesson learned: Real knowledge of statistical methods is rare among psychology researchers; one (of my friends) even got fired because he pointed out that they asked him to fake results (the experiment basically assumed the Halting Problem to be solvable).
I was just like the kids the op described. Turns out, I never could make it to early college classes (so I got Cs in anything pre 9AM). I quickly learned to only sign up for later classes. Then, I entered the workforce as a software engineer, working for companies where I could head in late. Life’s worked out ok for me.

Turns out, you can live a perfectly happy life in which others don’t dictate your morning routine.

The recommended way to use LE is to run the renew command daily and it will do nothing until it finds a cert 1 month or more old. That way you have 2 months to solve an issue.

Yeah, I agree with the broader claim. IMO well-structured Haskell will tend to be easier to maintain then well-structured Perl, and poorly structured Haskell will tend to be easier to get well structured than poorly structured Perl.

I just thought the express claim being made significantly oversold it. Whichever approach you take with the Haskell in the example under discussion, modifying the Haskell is not easier than adding a handful of characters to a simple regex.
That seems interesting, mind emailing me at tapabrata(underscore)ghosh(at)vathys(dot)ai?

Taxes give us a lot of things, like the Snuggie: https://www.theverge.com/2017/2/16/14638104/snuggie-is-offic...
I'm clearly primarily a maker: I make applications for users, mostly websites, and I care about them being easy to use and useful to the user. I also care about easy of maintenance, and therefore about clean code.

I notice I do strongly identify with the Poet/Mathematician, I'm just not one in practice. I do love elegant code, algorithms, data structures, code that's concise, logical and easy to read. I love that many programming languages have become more functional. I wish I could do a project in Scala. I wish I understood Lisp.

In the end, though, I don't care as much as the real Math/Poet. I don't care for Scala's over-the-top Turing-complete type system. I don't care for proof of correctness. I care that my code works and looks good and is easy to maintain, and joyful to work with, and those are practical matters for makers.

I also appreciate the work of hackers, but mostly because their compilers and VMs and OSs make it so I don't have to worry about those things. I've programmed in C, but I love not having to worry about memory allocation anymore. I want my algorithms to be efficient, but I don't pretend I can reinvent an existing algorithm and implement it better than the standard library has already done for me.

So I don't see the strife, I see different roles. Makers make the end-user applications, but to do so, they use languages and programming principles designed or influenced by the Math/Poets, and they run on efficient and secure platforms built by hackers.

We need each other.
> A single self-checkout station probably replaces 2 cashiers. Not to mention they take up less space. It makes a lot of sense for the store owners but I don't think it makes much sense for the community.

That's not a reasonable position. The same could be said about many technological changes. Replacing jobs with technology, especially unskilled jobs, is always a win for society as a whole.
I was thinking along the same lines; but there's a potential problem in that this provides an incentive to mislabel a beverage's ABV to get a lower tax rate.

That's probably solvable-ish by fining companies found to have an ABV off by more than 1% or so, but that's a lot more work to monitor, especially with the number of different products on the market.
The security aspects have been covered but there is another advantage. When people get a 2 year certificate they very often forget to renew it until their website becomes broken. With a 90 day expiry you are pretty much forced to add a task to crontab that renews automatically.
Stages of Learning a New Programming Language
I (lol)ed because "turbo" and "turbo-s" are a naming convention from their conventional cars that is fairly non-sensical on an electric car given that they don't have turbochargers.

Eg.
Macan < Macan S < Macan Turbo

Of course, the two non-turbo Macan models above both turbochargers so the moniker really just means "the fastest model" in Porsche speak.
How is LE funded?

[edit]

At least partly through corporate sponsership:

How bad it was depends on what you value. Did splitting up societies across Europe lead to more differentiation? Yes, absolutely. Here's some other things it led to:

-Population totals and density dropped.
-Life expectancy dropped.
-Trade fell in volume, trade routes shortened, and the variety of available goods dropped.
-The trend of urbanization reversed and Europeans became more rural.
-The likelihood of dying to disease/plague increased.
-The number and length of usable roads shrank
-The plow fell out of common manufacture and farmers began relying on picks, hoes, and shovels instead

It's up to you whether those things count as "not that bad".
Assume you can then simulate the folding of full-sized proteins, too?
> My thought was that they could be to target old versions, even if the site is new

That would make a lot of sense if we were talking about Android but how many iOS devices are still on iOS 10? Apple's stats show 97% of devices are iOS 11+ ( https://developer.apple.com/support/app-store/ ). It seems rather unlikely that someone would invest in finding & weaponizing a zero-day exploit against iOS 10 for less than 3% of users. Possible, sure, but Apple's claims needs evidence here.
> Once place I worked, after week-long reviews of your work, and a day-long interview, the final question in the process was, "Is golf a sport?"

Of course it is. It has sponsorships. Sponsorships make something a sport. Well-known fact.
Sure, but that is missing half the equation. Every person who vapes is not a person who previously smoked or would have chosen to smoke if vaping didn't exist. The rate of the growth in vaping is much higher than the rate in decline of smoking. Like I said before, vaping can help people who are already addicts become healthier, but it is also creating new addicts and that is a problem.
Elbs do support public key verification of the backends (search for Enable backend authentication). I believe you are correct wrt Albs and nlbs, and in neither case does it check the cert ttbomlk, just the public key.

> hardest on the day your child is born, but it gets progressively easier

A 3-year-old definitely takes a lot more continuous attention than a newborn (assuming the newborn is healthy, eats and sleeps okay, ...).

I was able to get some amount of work done while taking care of my first kid up to about age 1. In the two years since then, not so much (I just pray for conveniently timed naps). The second one is 6 months old, and is way easier to take care of right now.

If you just accept that you will be doing no independent creative work, then a 2+ year old isn’t too bad. They can start to “help” with routine chores, can walk around for themselves, can feed themselves, eventually stop needing diapers, etc. The work is not really hard per se. More like relentless.

I am a big fan of the take-home problem. For example, Symantec once asked applicants to design a simple virus detector with wildcards (similar to grep) and then they gave interview spots to people with the best performance. During the actual interview, however, there wasn't much whiteboard coding only designing or "how would you do X" sort of questions.
really fascinating stuff. thanks for sharing / the article does not do justice at all to the concept., read the pdf and google it instead.
> If it helps any, my experience is that it's hardest on the day your child is born, but it gets progressively easier as the years go by and the children become increasingly self-sufficient.

Not sure what kind of beings you're raising but my experience with three kids is that it gets progressively harder until around 5 and stays stable until 13 and gets much harder from there.

The USSR was the first to land on the moon and send images back (in 1966), but ever since the US landed people there, they were technologically behind, albeit not very far behind. They could have done it, but with Americans flying there twice a year, the race was already lost. So they sent some large robotic landers instead (Lunokhod 1 and 2), the kind that are the size of a VW beetle and are designed to survive the night. Unlike manned missions, which lasted at most 3 days, Lunokhod 2 was active on the surface of the moon for 4 months, traveled 42km, and sent back 80000 pictures.
You still get video and sensor readings from the flight, you get a dust plume to analyze from a distance (especially with bigger impactors also giving you data about what's below the surface).
If it was so trivial, why didn't anyone find it before? The source is open. PZ only found it after finding these sites exploiting it. Unused code is not uncommon.

The point is, all software has bugs; but there's no way Google can know what "QA" iOS goes through, and to pretend it's nothing is ridiculous. There's plenty of examples out there of code being reviewed by several super clever people, and yet they miss something. Trying to work backwards from a bug without the context of actually working in the team that wrote the code never works.

Sites like NYT or BBC are highly inept at reporting anything remotely technical in nature. They are good for general political coverage to an extent, but that's where it stops.
