I observed this with amused, scornful yet despondent cynicism when it rolled out for me a couple of months ago. (I'm in AU.)

It doesn't work. At all. (TL;DR click the links at the bottom, or keep reading and be prepared to reattach your jaw.)

In an age of technical illiteracy from both young people and old, Google has made phishing campaigns a million times easier.

I have no contacts inside Google, but I would (still) put decent money on the chances being 1000% that a very large security stink was raised about this internally... to apparently no avail. So I'm fascinated to see where this goes, security debacle, bathwater and all.

YouTube universally shows "https://www.youtube.com › watch".

This site consists entirely of the One True Path™ "https://news.ycombinator.com › item".

Google Books, similarly, stocks hundreds of millions of one particular title, "https://books.google.com › books".

GitHub often shows up as "https://github.com › ..." or "https://github.com › projectname" (yes, I'm not kidding, the repo author is elided from the URL). Looking forward to seeing how spammers take advantage of this.

Best of all was the one time I clicked something that _downloaded a file_ (it had Content-Disposition: attachment set). Oh, because it was an .mbox file; that makes sense... except the filename and extension were completely elided from the URL, so the random download was quite the violation of the principle of least surprise.

Shortly after the file download event, I decided to get in touch with Google to politely sort of go "what gives" in case anything interesting or insightful came of the resulting conversation. The Product Forums is basically "cat /dev/pitchforks > /dev/null" so I didn't want to get stampeded to death in there, and the various feedback options on the site feel like a surreal merging of /dev/urandom and /dev/zero so I was distinctly uncertain about pursuing those options either. So I decided to try https://issuetracker.google.com/.

Well, I can report that this little-known corner of Google, mostly used to track Android issues, is very topically focused and simply doesn't have the forwarding infrastructure (ahem, or policy) to handle anything else. At least the human at the other end was nice about it.

I took a screenshot of the thread I created (which only I can view), and put it up at https://imgur.com/a/K443Tkp.

While writing this post, I also decided to properly memorialize this insanity and added screenshots of all the examples in the bugreport to the above album. (Besides the small screenshot of LWN, all were taken today.)

Since PNGs aren't very clipboard-friendly, here's a copy-paste (expires: never) of my submission: https://pastebin.com/ksBEEG91

NB. Don't thrash against the New Way. It ensures your job security as a security consultant. And earmarks you as Elite, And To Be Watched Out For, or something. I don't know.

(Oh, and I took all the screenshots using super-sized Xvnc. Chrome's devtools' full-page screenshot function doesn't work at all with the issue tracker UI.)

Re: the phishing example, it's roughly analogous to a business refusing to put up caution signs around dangerous areas like slippery floors or where there's construction. It's such a small thing that could help prevent enormous losses from clients and yet they won't do it for shady business reasons.
A few years ago; two kids and one very demanding day job have been keeping me busy. Hoping to resurrect it at some point.
Check tesla auto driver mode in rain. They handle it very well so I am sure waymo will as well. These are classic problems and you can trust those curious engineers to at least think about these issues before they even started coming up with the driverless car program. Vision technology has improved 10 fold in last decade.
I don't really buy using legislation. Alternatives exist and people don't seem to care to use them. That's the market at work.
Gstreamer Conference 2019
Around the equinox sunrise is probably around 8:30-9am here, sunset around 3:30-4pm. Twilight I guess an hour each way.

That makes sense when you need daylight to work - which is back when far more worked outside. Core business hours and timezones seem to fit around that minimum daylight. It makes a lot less sense to tie daylight hours, when they are in short supply, to the time now most of us are in permanently illuminated offices and factories.
There are tens of thousands of music acts in Spotify, Bandcamp, etc with less than 1000 fans.

So "1000 true fans" is already a big filter.

In fact, e.g. for 2017, 99% of the 377 billion streams were from the top 10% of 2017’s most-streamed tracks alone. Less than 1% of streams accounted for all other music.
WeWork isn't the scam. The way Neumann managed to cash out is the scam.
Mono, with .NET 4.7.2 actually gives you the .NET Standard 2.0 API surface area + other stuff. Eventually, the Mono and Core Runtimes will be merged and we'll switch over to that. It's all clear as mud; but the point is; we'll continue to be up to date.
Their PBXact line might be more what you are looking for - a FreePBX system with commercial support, with the same insane flexibility of FreePBX. Switchvox always looked kind of "locked-down" to me.
I defined maturity when I could see 5 minutes into the future. 38 for me.

Before that, I used to drive over 150 mph in my Porsche on a fairly regular basis. (Every week or two.) I'm male.

I got pulled over for speeding and got let go. Could of lost my license.
No, Netduino is .NETMF only.
Slice values are normally copied so it's not an issue. The slice would need to be stored in a global or a struct's field and then changed while some other goroutine is reading it.

(I haven't seen this happen, though.)
The thing that always bugs me about this kind of thinkpiece is the short-view assumption that there's some telos to whatever effect they're describing. Tobacco use has waxed and waned in popularity many times over the centuries since its introduction to the rest of the world.

That seems like a nitpick but the whole "we'll have more addictive things" hypothesis rests on there being an arc of history. Like, sure maybe? Then we'll have less. I like a lot of pg's stuff, I just find this is pretty far out in left field.
>Sure, but to create a venture scale business you only need a few hundred highly successful ones; you need around 250 power users to create a $100M business.

And creating "250 power users" at that scale is crazy hard.
I am rubbing tricks with you.
> In most of the US, not being able to drive in bad weather will make self driving cars a complete non-starter.

This strikes me as complete hyperbole. "Most of the US" population wise is in cities, which have weather management (snow plows, bright lights), and plenty of people will buy a car that "self-drives" 80% of the time-most people's driving miles are boring highway commutes, not off-roading.

In my view a serious problem is that a person becomes "labeled" as a suicide risk, and has to bear that cross for the rest of their lives. It could get you kicked out of school, barred from employment, and so forth.
Probably not, but that's not important because it's research, not a commercial product. The question to be asking to evaluate how exciting it is is "Could this do anything better than normal communication if it were developed further?" As others have pointed out, the answer to that may be a no.
Heads, trick heads, up. Let's rub those sh1ts together
Still hella hard. And the multiple is only interesting if you intend to go public, sell the company, or something.
They had to start somewhere. Waymo is doing testing in Florida right now for the rainy season. They have also done testing in snow.

I happen to believe that whenever a phony gets rewarded, it's a tiny kick in the gut to everyone else who is truthful and authentic. It damages the entire ecosystem. People look to other successful people for examples of how to behave, and when frauds succeed, more people start thinking, "Well maybe that's how we're supposed to do it."
At SerpApi.com, we've noticed this new format for a while. And the bad news is the trend seems to accelerate. :/
what you are looking for is called kubeadm, which is an official CNCF project, in go.
BUT:
1. kubeadm won't change your kernel params, or docker or anything on your hosts. It expects someone took care of it (and according to their docs). And that's how we started.
2. your list of features: it's not one size fits all. Not everyone wants the overhead of _all_ of these, and not all developed under CNCF.
Therefore one needs the post cluster deploy steps, with these things.
Also, things like DNS, HA does depend on your infrastructure (it's where things get hard). E.g. We tried to solve HA on prem by using keepalived.
>Patreon alone has >100k creators, right?

Most of which make close to nothing (server costs, and way less than 10K/year).

>And it's not a super popular platform yet.

No, but it's the #1 platform for direct fan support.

Also, you can find the new developer site here: http://beta-developer.wildernesslabs.co/, which has the Meadow docs. We haven't pushed it to the main site yet because we're still missing a home page design. :)
> Lidar is unable to see through the snow. Road surfaces are sometimes wet, sometimes snow covered, sometimes ice. Visibility can drop to zero.

All these problems apply equally to people drivers and their eyes. Why can't automated systems at least match us?
What's the barrier to using Stripe to top-up credit (say USD 20 buys 1 million virtual credits) then spending those on the web buying tiny things for tiny amounts?

In a sense, WeChat Pay etc in China have already "overcome barriers" to micropayments, even tho the amounts do not need to be micro.
Thank you for linking this article.

> Nobody wants to look stupid or get told to RTFM, and so, they choose silence.

That's a great insight.

I wonder how many users are lost to "setup / entry point problems" in projects.

These problems may not even be "bugs" but issues such as difficulties in configuration, too many steps, something not entirely straight forward.

One thing that comes to mind is analytics to see conversion funnels, that may work for websites but not so much for tools or libraries.

It's a great motivation for testing, and perhaps user studies. I would be willing to pay a few bucks for someone to try my project and tell me what issues they ran into. Unfiltered.

I love web design and working with designers to create functional, beautiful websites that focus on a great user experience.
That sentence is an contradiction, it's either open source or requires a commercial license, cannot be both.
Do we really need the HN pedantry of specifying every nth detail like "on working days" in a sentence when I am talking of working practice? That should be enough to imply work days. :)
Based on the algorithm in the tweet, it looks like it's reversible. This would imply that it's indeed encryption and not a hash function or anything.
Speaking as an employee at Google (but not for Google; opinions are all my own), I will offer you this anecdote:

I have met a lot of people in my career who are motivated to do work for the public good in order for the whole world to benefit (e.g., standards, open source, public speaking/education etc.) and not just one company. I met the vast majority of those people after I joined Google, and many of the others had previously worked at Google.

As a lowly engineer, it is difficult for me to speculate about the true motivations of upper management. But, I do feel confident saying that I work alongside a lot of people who are not motivated by evil or "embrace, extend, extinguish" mentality. My colleagues have good intentions, and they act on them.

That said, Google is a big place. It's so big that usually I only hear about user-hostile things like this from the news. I personally find it demotivating and sad, because it undermines the good work that I know is being done elsewhere in the company. It seems like the latest in a long string of incidents, and it probably won't be the last.

So, take that for what you will. But, please also consider that it may not be as binary good/evil as you make it sound.
Using permanent DST instead of ST means:

- Clock noon and solar noon are one hour apart, forever

- It's the same thing as rotating the clock labels for all the time zones by one step, all around the Earth

We are choosing what label to put on what time of day. If the labels are fixed throughout the year, both choices are exactly equivalent, after everyone decides whether to get up an hour earlier or an hour later. But one of them separates the time from the fundamental astronomical cycle from which it is derived.

I am. I am surprised they don't make the X "click here to download a virus".
I'm never going to pay for articles by the Atlantic, that's for sure.
I would start by both getting involved in the server part of the Swift forum (https://forums.swift.org/c/server), and by checking simple tickets you could help with on those projects Github.

Could somebody estimate how much additional sensors cost over the stock car waymo uses? I see at least 4 LIDARs if I am not mistaken...
Wait, so you think white men are not killing themselves out of despair? Or maybe that if they are they are pussies unable to see how privileged they are even in their despair? Or maybe that they have reasons to despair, but that every single one of them had it coming anyway because of the sins of their fathers?
What’s interesting is that although the difference between computers of the 1960s and those we have today is greater than the difference between, say, a horse and a fighter jet, the principles of controlling (programming) them are still the same...
No, tech companies should do their best to get rid of cars in the city. Cities should be built for people, not vehicles.
The neighborhood where I grew up, it was common to raise a family on one parent working a blue collar (union) job. Now that number is somewhere between 2 and 4 jobs per household. Also, there's a vicious circle, where people drive more because it's more dangerous, because there's more traffic. This is evident if you go past an elementary school in the morning.
>Perhaps he also has to work until 6pm and cannot choose to start one hour earlier. Perhaps he wants to do things outside just before going out for dinner; in some places restaurants do not open before 7:30pm. And so on.

If enough people in a country want to do things "when the sun is at a certain point" and that point coincides with a working hour, they can move the 9-5 to 8-4 or whatever.

Coordination does not have to correspond to renaming the hours...
There are 2 reasons for the decline of the DSLR camera.

The first is the complete lack of innovation. Without any meaningful APIs, end users cannot do much with their DSLR. There's no app store where I can buy apps to enhance my DSLR. There's a lot of room for creative photography if we could only program our own DSLRs. Smartphones, on the other hand, often do provide such APIs. This is how you get people doing astrophotography on a smartphone with a vastly inferior sensor.

The other reason is much more banal. For various reasons, people jumped to the DSRL bandwagon thinking that would make for better photos compared to more compact cameras (false for most people). DSLRs never should have become as popular as they did. In the film days you had simple compact cameras and SLRs. Only enthusiasts bought SLRs. That was the case in the early digital days, but then around 2005 people suddenly decided to switch to DSLRs, despite their not benefiting from them.

Over a decade later, people have realized that the eagerness with which they jumped to SLRs was misguided, and are now back to using something convenient. Unfortunately, camera manufacturers assumed this temporary rise in interest in DSLRs would be permanent.
I think "seriously asking" actually ends up making your comment seem ruder rather than nicer. The phrase has taken the same loop as "literally", unfortunately.

To answer the question, they do. Many pension funds manage billions of dollars, so they're at the scale where complex investments like that start to make sense. Even when they don't directly do it, very large private companies like WeWork often start getting included in mutual funds.
I started with an X100F because I was really fixated on the idea that a small flat/pancake lens would mean I’d more likely take the camera with me than leave it home.

In reality the X100F, while compact, is camera-size and camera-weight, so the actual dimensions matter little. It won’t fit in a pocket, that’s the dimension that really matters.

I swapped for a slightly better camera (X-T30) which is about the same size and with a lens that is also slightly longer (talking actual length here).

The shots I get of my family and kids are the prize. The difference between my phone and camera results make the strap around my neck worth it. But it’s still a challenge not to leave it at home.

I've noticed that if you change your user-agent to something really old and turn off JS, you can still get more "normal" looking results, complete with the option to view the cached page right there, but I'm not sure how long that will last...

Also don't forget that not too long ago, Google decided to start hiding pieces of URLs and convincing the web standards groups to make that a standard:

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/google/google-chrome-h...

(In that article there's a very visible email address of a product manager at Google responsible for this, be sure to let her know your thoughts...)

I think that's just more proof that "web standards" aren't necessarily good for the user, especially if they're controlled by anti-user corporations. It's not unlike what's happening with open-source too: "we can do all these horrible things to oppress you, but it's open-source so you can see exactly what we do to you."
Thanks for your question, very good one.
We are currently looking to find the right balance of what perms should be OutOfBox and what should be custom setup.
E.g. Running things like telepresence CNCF need sshd. And running sshd needs root (and RunAsAny).
We are working closely with them and just proposed a work version which should be fine with less perms (currently for Openshift), and then we can tighten such things also in k8s.
Nerds.

As if that’s the only possible outcome. Defending oil companies by claiming their success is in alignment with what’s best for the poor is a rather bizarre point to make.
Lots of we Americans do the same, not 9-5. I've worked several places where I did 7AM to 3PM, and did just fine. As you said, the advantage is freeing up some time in the afternoon and evening. Some companies are nasty about 9-5 butts-in-seats, but the better ones are usually flexible (particularly if you make meetings you need to and show yourself to be competent).
> It’s a horrifying thought, but it could be that for every one person who opens an issue on GitHub, 100 or more people have already tried your project, run into that same bug, and simply moved on.

It could be 100, or just 1. And sometimes it’s hard to know which without a lot of effort.
Phar Lap was named after a horse!

DOS4GW was probably the most common, especially with PC games.

PMODE was pretty popular with the hobbyist market. CWSDPMI was also pretty popular once DJGGP started being used with it instead of Go32 (which I think wasn't even a full dpmi provider)
While I could look things up internally, if I did I couldn't post back here about it, sorry!
You know solar noon is not necessarily noon. Right? Pretty sure it changes throughout the year, too. If so, that seems more an argument for dst. I'll check in a bit. Someone may just know, though.
It's a tough balance. You start a one-dev project for free that gets big, suddenly it's next to impossible to keep up with support requests.

If your project is targeted at developers, you might be able to find someone you can trust to help you out, but if it's targeted at non-technical users that's like finding a unicorn.

I'm not arguing in favor of keeping people out of course, just that it's not as straightforward as "issue templates bad" vs "RTFM noob".
Great work on PJON! Where can I find documentation/more info on how to build this for STM32 microcontrollers, like the STM32F091CCU7 using SerialAsync (over PLC)?
Modern powerful hardware has a hard time emulating a glass of water with good fidelity. Reproducing physical effects like ghosting is often harder than it looks.
An Occupy Activist Was Deported For Tweeting
I own an MS and it has no idea what snow is. Once the road markings disappear, you're done.

If there's a car track, then it'll think that the cut-out created by warm cars or a plough form the edges of the road.

But if there's just snow, it has no idea. It'll easily mistake parts of the roads where snow has been crossed by tires as being dashed road markings as well.

The highway by me - well, you can stick autopilot on if you want. You'd better watch closely though, because unexpected snow patterns on the road surface will have you close to a median barrier quite quickly.

Generally if the road is fully snow covered AP is disabled. If the sensors are covered, which they will be if you've left your car outside in -10c or so, then basically everything is disabled.

Works great as a car though!
xD I don’t know either but I did my best to make you whole on needless downvoting.

But yes, pension funds do invest in private companies in a few ways. Some of it is relatively recent. They absolutely will invest during the “road show” of pre-ipo companies, but I’ve also seen numbers like up to 20% of vc funds coming from public pension funds [1]. It’s actually kinda a great idea imo, they’re definitely not betting the farm on these companies, and it’s a great way to get further diversification on an asset class that probably moves differently from other asset classes. They’ve also branched into things like real estate trusts, another kind of diversification that moves off-cycle from other asset classes.
