> To comply with GDPR, we have to know where PII comes and goes, and over 80% of that data goes over HTTPS. That means that for any company to be able to comply with GDPR, they have to inspect all HTTPS traffic.

Fine. A company can inspect their own traffic.

This doesn't mean that _other_ companies should have the same ability, including upstream providers.

Sports players have a limited amount of time to exploit their bodies.

Developers have a much longer lifetime of continuous learning, opportunities to get better, and focus on being the best they can be.

But at the end of the day, when a developer or player no longer offers their organization value, they will be cut loose. This is hugely destructive to that person's ability to care for themselves and their families. Is it any wonder that they want to do whatever they can to secure a stable future for themselves?
This looks awesome! This covers all of my complaints and even has some core material that I don't have but probably should have 'cached' in the back of my mind.

Props to Pavlo and the course TAs for the great work! A lot of DB courses don't really highlight how dynamic the storage & database systems area is right now but this course does.
No, but selective moderation based on unclear inconsistent guidelines is. Look at hn, I'd say it's heavily moderated, but the guidelines are clear and the moderation is mostly consistent. When accounts and comments get banned or killed here, it's usually obvious how the guidelines were broken, most of the time.
Completely agree. I remember reading Musk had a fights with the original Tesla designer because he wanted to make something weird and funky and ended up firing him. Just make it normal looking, but you know, the good normal.
Deepfake Detection Challenge: Initial Data Set Released for ML Training
There are things governments cannot do that private companies can: shut down and go away because you made product no one wants. Over time this applies a positive pressure on governments to accumulate junk - layoffs are unacceptable, costly, etc. It isn’t the ‘fault’ of government. It’s just that cleansing is necessary for quality And systems that do not allow for cleansing have junk perpetuate.

Governments cannot discriminate, which is the fastest way to trial product - targeting your most fertile customers and adapting. Therefore, they will be locked into massive waterfall-style design.

Governments cannot ignore edge-cases.

It makes it really hard, though I’ve noticed that lots of new gov.uk stuff and things like Id.gov are pretty good.

I went against my gut feeling and took a job at a <1 yr company(new startup/spinout backed by $$$$ org) because i'd get exposure to certain tech. Manager was (& is) a nice person but didn't instill confidence when talking about how things were planning to be.

I left that job 2 years ago after ~8 months. Mentally fucked me up and it took a long time to recover from the ineptitude and incompetence in that company.

I looked at their glassdoor reviews and the same complaint and comments me & co-workers made when we left 2 years ago are still repeating with people who are joining and leaving today.

Never again going against my gut feeling.

It’s interesting that most of the demonstrated applications are examples of how to lie with photos. Images alone can’t be trusted, but it makes me a little sad the more readily these tools are made available. Oh look, a program based around making photos that lie that’s cheap. I suppose I’ll have to start defaulting to trusting nothing even more. It’s not really a direction I’d like public discourse to have to go in, if we could collectively agree to behave a little.

>WHY do these vehicles always have to look so freaking dorky?

Someone once explained to me that it was because EVs try and minimize the weight of the chassis to extend the range of the vehicle, and it's difficult to get more traditional curvatures in the chassis while doing that and balancing with safety/cost.

No idea how accurate that is.

Your answer is a good one for helping to understand the problem and is true of almost all computers in active use today. But I want to point out that you can have a classical computer that isn't binary. Analog computers have a long history and are still used in some places today. Also ternary computers where bits can be 1, 0, or -1 had a role in Soviet computing and let you used Balanced Ternary[1] which is even nicer than Two's Complement. But these are classical in the sense of having one particular value in the way the rest of your answer lays out nicely.

Information on herbicide/pesticide use in organic farming is abundant. A quick search (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=organic+farming) will yield plenty to begin research. Due diligence is necessary given the mass of mis/dis-information, turning fact-finding into a much more difficult process for the laymen (like me) than it should be, but seek many sources, develop a consensus.

HN user "widowlark" posted (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21337495) a link to a "Scientific American" article which you may find useful: https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/science-sushi/httpblogs...

The Wikipedia article on "Organic farming" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_farming) has a section-or-two discussing the practice; it'll provide a decent jumping-off point for further research.

I've read in multiple places that AMD's resurgence is largely attributable to controversial IP deals and partnerships made with China, providing a struggling AMD with the resources necessary for Zen development.

I said their ability to crack things might surprise you, but did not make any claims. I do not know for sure what they can crack but I do know their capabilities are not publicly known, this is coming from those that work there as well as court filings.

Unfortunately linux often STILL doesn't handle plugging and unplugging devices very well and it kind of seems like this has gotten worse not better with systemd.

Also you seem to be conflating dealing with devices with initialization of the system. Dealing with such devices has insofar as I'm aware always been handled by c code in and out of the kernel whereas at one time initialization of services and orchestration of components was handled by a scripting language.

This is to say that a bash script may have brought up different components and services but that c code that makes up the component is in charge of actually managing said device.

Its obviously feasible for both c (or any other language) code and orchestration of start up and shut down of services to be buggy but its not equally easy for end users to fix their own problems in all cases.

Ideally bugs get reported to those who are most capable and the underlying code is corrected however if said labor isn't paid to work on their project hours to do so may be in short supply and it may frequently fall on users to lend a hand.

This is a numbers game. If you have 10000 users and 10 of them are qualified to solve such problems you may be lucky to get the help of 1 to submit patches or post a solution to a problem on a forums for others to use before the upstream problem is fixed.

If 100 are qualified you are 10x as likely to find help to solve a problem. I have on many occasions come across a solution months or years before an official upstream solution came into being. You are suggesting that most sysadmins might find it challenging to solve their own problems. They don't always have to. Merely having comprehensible user friendly systems make it more likely that one of their fellows can help them do so and more likely that such solutions travel both laterally between users and hopefully upstream solving the problem for all.
I drive a Gen-1 Volt (which I love), and it's as sporty and sedan-y as a car can get while still being a hatchback. There's no reason that a non-dorky design can't be made in this form factor.
But Comcast would still know what IP address you are communicating with.. isn't that going to tell them 99% of the time where you are going still?

I mean right now, I do a DNS lookup for news.ycombinator.com and I see 209.216.230.240 .. I'm refreshing the site and that is the address I'm communicating with. Granted you can have multiple DNS assigned to the same IP.. but that's not going to do a whole lot, right?

What's to stop comcast from just using their ip->dns lookup table to do basically what they are doing now? Yeah it gives them a slightly less clear picture.. but almost the same?
That's a simplistic view. Apple can impose their political views upon you that you didn't agree with when you bought the device (see the current HK Map debacle). Their leadership could change. They can and will ban Apps that are not a threat at all.

You stance also implies that there's no way Apple could allow sideloading in a safe way (real sideloading not their 7 day and/or paid cert crap). I already need to contact Apples servers to unlock my phone, I would be fine if I had to unlock my device with Apple to allow sideloading. And since this is becoming more of a free market and free speech issue, I hope lawmakers will fix this problem.

We're a small (non-tech) company. Reason for deciding on G Suite for Knowledge Management is because the team is already familiar with it, and training up on new software takes up valuable hours.

That's my main argument to why it can't be good for them, it's evidence how much the use makes them want to believe.

But on a more cynical note, I get the impression that it might even help fight global warming: just consider how small the ecological footprint of a stereotype stoner failure lifestyle would be compared to a median middle class career. Find a solution to the packaging of spontaneous midnight snacks (sorry for reveling in stereotypes) and it would be about as green as it gets, except suicide. Could we capitalize (well, "ecologize") on that?

(even more off topic ramblings from here on)

You could set up "fun monasteries", were people could self-admit to dedicate their lives to nonproductive but low-impact activities such as stonerism, abdicating from consumerism, career and procreation in exchange for minima food, shelter and the means to follow their low-impact hobby. Those "fun monasteries" could be set up not just for doing drugs but for all kinds of low-impact but sufficiently addictive activities. Video games, certain sports, artisanship, coding, even for nonreproductive sex, science, or, if you want to go full retro, for religion. I'm sure that they could all be cheaper and lower impact per head than excusing models of welfare that just treat everybody in need as temporarily embarrassed middle class. "fun monasteries" would not replace welfare, they would be an individual alternative to it. Just like the prison system already kind of is. Would there be a mass rush? I doubt it. Butt supporting people who might be willing to severely lessen their footprint in exchange for a nonmonetary stipend sounds like a no-brainer low hanging fruit.

(for those who read till the end and who were wondering if that isn't just a green spin on the "concents" in Stephenson's Anathem, sure, the idea grew when someone mentioned the concents in a different thread on the site. Before that it was just general disappointment in how much we still resent low-impact lifestyle choices, even in circles who outwardly agree on strong measures to fight climate change)
> If you could rewarded with an incredible salary for sticking at the same company for 10 years and making a great, reliable platform using "boring technologies" then more people would probably do it.

> Instead to raise your salary you gotta jump jobs every 2 years

I believe the majority of America stays at their employers. It just seems to be the en vogue style for this group. I've made careers at my past two employers. I like to think I've made out very well by sticking to the same company for 4 years, going on 5, much better off than if i joined a startup working slave labor for much less total compensation only to have my shares diluted once an exit happens.

I've done it all at this point in my career, and sticking to a stable, cash-positive business is the best option at this point, IMO of course. Everyone likes to think they'll be the special 1% to make that big exit but then again our generation (millennials) were raised to believe we were special so it makes sense why people go chasing the dollar.

Your employer takes a little more time to adjust, but in the end, people end up where they should be over time.
Right-- so if we need 10-1000 qubits per high-quality error corrected boolean-ish qubit and 20,000 error-corrected qubits to really tackle interesting real world problems, we need 3-5 orders of magnitude improvement.

The fact that we have exponential improvements to parts of the process is nice. But exponential improvement doesn't continue forever. Extrapolating from the current status 5 orders of magnitude out seems reckless.
This isn’t exactly true... Comcast just launched their own DoH endpoint. I also used to work very closely with the DNS team at Comcast. At the time, they did not sell or even log/look at DNS data. It was sampled in aggregate to break down CDN traffic in Netflow data.

A fair trial isn't what he's after. By his own admission he would be quickly and easily prosecuted for his actions. He's after something which doesn't presently exist:

“If I’d made preexisting arrangements to fly to a specific country and seek asylum, for example, I would’ve been called a foreign agent of that country. Meanwhile, if I returned to my own country, the best I could hope for was to be arrested upon landing and charged under the Espionage Act. That would’ve entitled me to a show trial deprived of any meaningful defense, a sham in which all discussion of the most important facts would be forbidden.

“The major impediment to justice was a major flaw in the law, a purposeful flaw created by the government. Someone in my position would not even be allowed to argue in court that the disclosures I made to journalists were civically beneficial. Even now, years after the fact, I would not be allowed to argue that the reporting based on my disclosures had caused Congress to change certain laws regarding surveillance, or convinced the courts to strike down a certain mass surveillance program as illegal, or influenced the attorney general and the president of the United States to admit that the debate over mass surveillance was a crucial one for the public to have, one that would ultimately strengthen the country. All these claims would be deemed not just irrelevant but inadmissible in the kind of proceedings that I would face were I to head home. The only thing my government would have to prove in court is that I disclosed classified information to journalists, a fact that is not in dispute. “This is why anyone who says I have to come back to the States for trial is essentially saying I have to come back to the States for sentencing, and the sentence would, now as then, surely be a cruel one. The penalty for disclosing top secret documents, whether to foreign spies or domestic journalists, is up to ten years per document.”
