Failure to delete old blog entries that he has nevertheless disavowed negates that disavowal? I don't agree.
I don't know if overprovisioning servers to counter traffic spikes is over engineering, the mental model is pretty simple. May not be as cost effective or infinitely scalable, but it's simpler to wrap your head around.

> Mobile Operators could also try to change the security settings of UICCs in the field remotely, or even uninstall and stop using the S@T Browser technology completely, but this may be slower and considerably more difficult to do.

I'm very curious to see what the actual fix will be and whether or not the general public will become more aware of the fact that their phones had always been vulnerable to SIMjacking. How do mobile operators usually notify customers of these large-scale exploits?
> That's about $4000/month in bandwidth costs

You're an order of magnitude off.

45 TB per day is 1,350 TB in a month, or 1,350,000 GB.

Show me somewhere you can get a petabyte of egress inside a calendar month for 4 figures USD...

Let's suppose you even used the cheaper egress from Cloudfront rather than serving from S3 (lol @ your wallet if you serve 1 PB doing that).

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/aws-data-transfer-prices-re...

The first petabyte costs an average of $0.045 per GB - $45,000.

The remaining 350 TB costs another $10,500 for a total of $55,500.

Serving off S3 directly? Yeah, that'll be more like $150,000.
I had no idea I was doing it, and couldn't explain the bizarre behaviour until I literally looked at the keyboard, but apparently my left pinky finger is hovering slightly above that area most of the time, and occasionally brushes it lightly enough that I don't even notice—but enough to trigger whatever behaviour is there (particularly irritating as a heavy vim user with a stuttering keyboard, who suddenly finds I'm unexpectedly in normal mode).
There are some sections of society where these attitudes are still common. We self-select our peer groups and so don’t see a representative sample of humanity as a whole. This leaves people like the author still fighting the old gender wars, and people like us saying “hey steady on”, and a lot of people talking past each other due to different definitions and experiences.

Without the IPO they need to find a seriously insane investor to unlock more funding. Its a $10 billion train wreck.
I genuinely don't think that was a novel argument to his interlocutors. I think they'd thought of that, and I think they have good counterarguments.

(I'd like to not get into arguing about Minsky's own actions or about mitigating factors in sexual assault in this particular thread. 'esotericn is talking about what is reasonable to discuss or not in which circumstances, not about the merits of the argument in question. And I'm also personally not interested in arguing the case.)
If you'd ever met the man, you would know that Stallman being social oblivious with no tact or decorum is not merely some idle claim.
Agreed, I have an at least 10 year old Brother laser printer and while it doesn’t support any new standard like AirPrint, their iOS app can still print to it across the network, direct from an iPhone/iPad, despite it being made likely before iPhones/iPads could even print.
If you had asked me 5 minutes prior to reading about this, who was the earlier writer - Milton or Shakespeare? - I would have said Milton. I now know that it's the opposite. Shakespeare preceded Milton.

There's something about Shakespeare's writing that feels closer to modernity though. Milton seems sort of medieval, perhaps because of the religious themes (and the fact that I've only read a small portion of Paradise Lost...).
My 6S still has a headphone jack, and I haven't had any real desire to upgrade it.

Get out. Go to places that aren't your couch or your desk. This could be a bar with friends or a walk in the park by yourself. Activity is great, but it's really the act of sitting in the same rooms perfectly still that I think is unhealthy.
Hindsight is 20/20, scrutinizing our understanding of past events instead of making grandios assumptions is the key to realising justice. Misinterpretting the words of a man because you don't like the way they think is an injustice.
Literally had this happen to us (website, not API) from a misconfigured partner last week - they accidentally misrouted unrelated click traffic through our servers. A 2 minute Page Rule and we not only saved our servers, we protected our partner's brand until they could hotfix. We could have done this with a rule looking at the path, but not easily something looking at obscure auth keys. Segmented traffic is happy traffic.
The first iPhone rattled the headlines, but I'd argue the third or fourth generation is what really settled it into the mainstream.

In other words, the West may the first to have fully automated factories and warehouses, but China is likely to be the first to deploy them on a large-scale.
Not sure I agree with the anti-lock in sentiment. It's a nice to have, but if what you know well is AWS or GCP or whatever, definitely lock yourself in.
similarly , making half that and using dedicated servers. When you re a solo dev you dont really have time to risk learning unproven tech or tech that doesnt scale. And as a dev i like writing code that does new and interesting things, not learning tools and other people's APIs. The amount of services this guy has to manage is mind-boggling, and unfortunately i m simple and stupid. I guess i m a hermit dev but thankfully i ll never need to work for others again.
Additionally, I think this is great to think about as far as the entire story of IPOing a big tech company in 2019.

You start with the story the bankers sell you. They all want to tell you you're going to be bigger than you ever thought possible, because, well... those fees are awfully nice.

"We're going to IPO you at 20% of $PREVIOUS_VALUATION"

The counter-argument was, well, "We don't think you're worth that much, you're probably worth only $20B."

The problem is here... well there's not really a financial position you can take here especially as the short price skyrockets. Maybe you get some smug satisfaction, but overall, everyone in the early stage of trying to win the IPO for their bank is going to tell you what you want to hear.

Now... things suddenly change, you need to shop it around. Well, maybe you don't get the number you want. Maybe you do? You edge it a little down. Yet, all the benefits you have as a private company (insert your It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Pepe Silvia meme of Mack trying to connect the dots) you can't really keep entirely as you try to collect that public check.

Matt was spot on here, of course, they're going to try and take apart some of those political rights that usually people grumble about (see Snapchat IPO) and then somewhat get over as time goes on.

Yet even that didn't do the trick! So you slash the economic upside, and once again that's not enough.

Maybe you even set the price low enough that you can hype it and it will go up, but at some point, the market will give its verdict and in this case: WeWork didn't cut it.

In many ways, it's an interesting litmus test of the health of the tech industry. Yes, there's been a bull market for this last decade, but bubble... maybe not. Maybe, this is great example of Wall Street being serious about how much large private companies are worth? Either way, what a crazy saga nonetheless. I wonder if they'll be able to (somewhat paraphrasing Matt) turn the dial from growth to revenue and approach the market later? Time will tell I guess.

Maybe we'll get an Alex Gibney documentary out of it!
The implementation of std::regex appears to be NFA based [1] which is surprising because backreferences are part of the standard.

Gotta say, that's been Umidigi's one weak point. I've got a F1 Play which hits most of my buttons-- cavernous battery, Micro-SD and 3.5mm sockets, and USB-C, but the camera has a distinct "We set the focus at one specific point about 2 metres away and nothing else is ever going to be sharp" compromise. I've tried Open Camera to no avail; perhaps it needs some sort of manual aperture control.
Well, ok, you're right. I should have said something more like, "you are presenting an argument that is normally made by anti-vaxxers, so that makes me think you are one. But perhaps I am completely wrong about that." Or maybe said nothing at all.
That depth of hack... the potential is large that it was also an inside job, e.g., another Robert Hanssen.

Is not defensible, is either true or false. Would be a perfectly rational defensible statement if the facts will prove that is true, and will be demoted if proven false. Is just an opinion based on speculative reasoning from somebody that (as everyone of us) could have an incomplete picture of the facts.

We know that we are in deep trouble when the new generations start solving math formula or hypothesis democratically, by the numbers of 'likes' and 'thumbs up' that they receive.

Is a popular opinion true automatically just because is emotionally satisfying to us, and hence is popular? Not.

As long as he assumes the risk to be corrected and wrong, Stallman has the right to express an discomforting ugly hypothesis or a discordant opinion. And is just that, an opinion. I have no reason to thing that is a dishonest one, that there is malice, attempt to defamation, or that there is a hidden agenda subjacent about it
And if that's no longer possible, it's easier to contain an unhappy populace in an Orwellian than in a "Huxlodian" state.

If one of my friends started defending pedophilia and saying it’s okay if the children consent then they would swiftly not be my friend anymore.

Judging someone for an opinion is not wrong and hiding behind a veneer of dispassionate intellectualism doesn’t remove your responsibility for your own actions.

I find it’s mostly arrogant tech fools who think it does. This sort of behavior is how you end up with Stallman defending pedophilia, rape being debated in the LKML, and idiots like James Damore.

This kind of seems like a troubling insight at first glance, but it doesn't pass basic sanity checks imo. You could make the same exact argument about any other type of industry. Watch:

>The [pool of discretionary income people have to spend on books] is a small fraction of [all commercial companies' marketing budgets], therefore it will always be more profitable to run free bookstores that try to make money by putting ads inside the dustjackets and all along the shelves.

But this obviously isn't true - Barnes and Noble is a thing. Or you could even consider Kindles and the ebook market examples of how this isn't true. It can be far _superior_ in terms of revenue to offer a product that people pay for directly, as opposed to baiting them into a space with ads in it.

I think the mistake came in when you compared all of the marketing budgets combined, (call it M), with all of the discretionary income combined, (D), and took it as axiomatic that D << M. But... how could that possibly be true? Most companies will not be operating at a loss, which means their annual marketing budget will be some fraction of their gross revenue. From what I can tell from some googling, at least ~60% of that revenue, averaging over all corporations, is coming directly from... consumers' pocketbooks.

Some more googling tells me that marketing spend from US companies was ~$200 billion in 2018. US consumers spent $14 trillion. So the whole premise strikes me as questionable. Am I missing something?

There's a time and a place for philosophical arguments. RMS chose poorly in this case both in the time and place. The outcry is the social cost.
His statement was perfectly comprehensible no mind reading required you are just muddying the waters.
However, it'll still be incredibly useful for cross-compilation.
What “format-preserving encryption” gives you is a hard-to-predict (pseudorandom) permutation on the N elements. The resulting permutation is not guaranteed to be uniformly distributed on the space of all N! permutations; it just comes from some large space that's still much smaller than N! (depending on the number of random bits used), and it's hard to predict which member of that space the permutation will be.

It is simply not possible to sample from a uniform distribution on a set S (here, the set of all N! permutations) in time less than lg|S|. Just think about it: whatever your randomized algorithm, if you only flip a coin M times, there are only 2^M possible outputs of your process. If you want every member of S to be achievable, this requires 2^M ≥ |S|, or M ≥ lg|S|.

Anyone who knows who Richard Stallman is, much less cares about his opinions, could probably be classified as 'neuroatypical' in some regard. I don't think there's any point to discussing the utility of 'neurodivergence' in the context of this scandal.

I'd agree with Matthew Garrett here. Some of Richard Stallman's statements in the past have bordered on being outrightly indefensible for various reasons. Not necessarily indefensible as the opinions of an individual, as controversial as they may be, but certainly inappropriate as the opinions of a person representing an organisation. I doubt that Stallman's various eccentricities have done much to hamper the FSF's mission, but Stallman himself would certainly do little to endear it to anyone.
What is an API? How does it work?
Bitcoin is never going to solve anyone's problems now. The people who have taken it over have relegated it to a lesson in what not to do. Shorter block times are not a problem and neither are much larger block sizes, both of these things have been proven by other currencies.

Its infuriating to me that Sony led the way with high end waterproof phones. They had a relatively stock Android experience and pretty much perfected the water proof phone with an open headphone jack.

Then Apple came out with a phone without a headphone jack and they just dropped the head phone jack from all of their worthwhile phones. I was a regular Sony buyer for years because of them being waterproof, but reluctantly had to switch last year to Samsung when my Sony phone was stolen.

Thank you for this excellent write-up. Monetizing APIs is always a great topic; did you consider or will you consider using a 3rd party API management service such as RapidAPI or Apigee to keep track and charge for API usage?

If workplaces functioned as democracies instead of dictatorships, I’d be more agreeable to the premise.
You are correct. I'm using an obsolete name for the library that contains the dang functions I want to debug :) I honestly don't understand the rationale for putting it in the Windows SDK. It's not like any other compiler is going to use it and you could just update it with VC patches if it changed. The underlying OS API is even less likely to change anyway (UCRT being the C99 lib) so tying it to the Windows SDK is puzzling.

I'll concede I'm probably missing some obvious gotcha.
Public outcry isn't the only factor. For example, the director of the GNOME Foundation just requested that RMS resign from the FSF[0], and said severing ties with the FSF is a possibility otherwise.

I think you're thinking of DFAs, which don't support backreferences. NFAs do. Right?
Online media outlets are well known to lie and often do in cases such as these. They are the yellow press of our day.

Unlike 20th century newspapers, they don’t have ombudsmen or public editors who care more about truth than headlines (A traditional newspaper might make mistakes such as these, but they’d at least be embarrassed enough to issue a correction the day later). And since they publish in the USA, about US persons, they also have no fear of libel suits due to the US constitution’s commitment to free speech.

Anyone who is a public figure, or might become a subject of news coverage, needs to be very aware that their words will be taken out of context or lied about if needed to get clicks.

This is a strange conclusion for you to draw because this statement applies to the majority of HN posts likely including both yours and mine. No decisions are being made here.
This is the same as saying "Define Pornography." You're asking for a bulletproof formula that doesn't exist. That doesn't mean we can't take a pretty good bite out of it.

How about this: Any action taken by an individual or organization with the intent of influencing another individual to execute a commercial transaction.

No billboards, TV commercials, newspaper advertisements, hyperbolic statements about products. I'm sure some wacky new loophole would be found, but it would be just that, some wacky loophole, not a massive trillion dollar industry built around manipulation.

The direct result of Blue state regulations and taxes is rich and poor. The middle class is shrinking rapidly and will eventually be gone. This isn't an example I would use for the rest of the US.

How exactly do taxes and regulations enable these companies? Most of these companies outright ignore regulations and incorporate in Delaware to get around some of the ridiculous taxes.

Taxes and regulations only serve the rich and will keep out smaller companies that don't have the resources to compete or attorneys to get around regulations.

Left-leaning people usually dislike big corporations, yet ironically support everything that keeps them in power.

We should now question the valuation of the other companies that have recently gone public. I understand WeWork was unusually tumultuous, but many of these talking points equally apply to recent IPOs.

A couple quarterly filings have already begun to bring some of these companies closer to reality.
