“Because liability” has always seemed like a too vague and dismissive cop-out. You might as well say “because wizards”. Assuming a company’s actions are actually legally above-board, I’d love to hear the articulable reasoning behind why being transparent about these actions adds legal exposure. If the company is doing things that are not legal, then yea, of course being transparent is risky.

When a company says, “we need to be opaque and evasive because liability” I immediately now assume the company is up to no good.

The size of the seats was a little bit worse than what airlines sell today as premium economy.

It's interesting to see what Boom is doing here relative to Concorde. They have a similar sized cabin, but they propose to configure it with fewer but larger seats.

They will have more efficient engines and a lighter airframe, but the lower efficiency at higher speeds means they can't match subsonic range, so they'll have to make a fuel stop on transpacific flights, which hurts comfort and will cost at least an hour per flight. Economically, transpacific routes may make more sense even with the fuel stop. Concorde probably could have done this too, but Air France and British Airways didn't serve these routes. All of the very long routes they might have used it on crossed Europe and Asia where they couldn't go supersonic.
many people have the expectation that they can know what they are signing up for when joining any group. company values are the values a company is claiming you can expect and hold them to when trying to make decisions.

even corrupt dumpster fire companies tend to try and honor their corporate values as a kind of tie breaker. I know of a company that is so corrupt it routinely has to fire people who created fake roles and then secretly hired family members for them; which has problems with backstabbing, etc. and is crazy political but when it comes down to it will actually try to honor the stated company ideals.
The issue there is that declaring conventional war on someone who is making WMD's means you losing really quickly. So you need WMD's to ensure you can stand against them. And therein lies the entire history of military development. You can't enforce anything without force. And he who has the most force has the advantage.

Apple has to be mulling an entry into search. Apple Search would be the default search engine for iPhone users, the majority of whom conduct almost all searches on their phone.

Being the one aggregator to rule them all has so many advantages. Google can extract outsized profits from almost every single industry because people are too myopic/lazy/indifferent to go directly to the source.

Apple could change the game. It could use its war chest to build a search engine as good or better than Google. It would forsake some profit because Apple Search would, through deep iOS integration, improvement of Siri, and bolstering of upcoming AR offerings, create ever greater lock-in to the Apple ecosystem. Furthermore, Apple's entry would give bargaining power back to content providers, galvanizing content creation on the margins.

There is an iron rule in business: competition will eventually erode profits. It's not a matter of if, but when. Will it be in 5 years, 10, 30, or 50?. GE used to be a seemingly unflappable industrial powerhouse. Look at it now. Google can stay way ahead of the competition if it continues to leapfrog on AI, but as soon as it becomes more iterative, or if the government decides that it's a monopoly, its decline would be non-linear. Apple faces another dilemma with a similar outcome. If some technological shift or government intervention opens up the App Store and iMessage to all mobile hardware, profits would drop precipitously. The only antidote is massive R&D and innovation.
IANAL, but it seems to be a weak case and is based on how the guns were marketed. I assume they would have to prove that Lanza was motivated by the ads, which seems unlikely since 1. he's dead and 2. I haven't seen gun ads outside of niche shooting magazines, etc.

Also, the counter argument might be: are movie studios, music labels, video game manufacturers, etc. liable also because they glorify gun violence as a business model? That would be a far reaching consequence. Car ads show people driving cars pretty aggressively; would they now be liable for when people get in accidents due to driving aggressively?
The level that the bill of rights applies to non-residents isn't very clear. The fourth amendment specifies the right of "the people", but it doesn't expand on who this includes. Some interpretations have it as us residents, some have it as all people.
Yes, this a moral judgement: Blowing company money on hookers, especially while cheating on your wife, is a bad thing.

The point I am making is that Snopes was/is horribly mis-managed and should not be given any money. Don't waste your money on fools.

'reading ease' amounts to applying a three-variable regression on a text and basically says "longer words and sentences make you sound smart." It's not the tool you want to use to measure "sophistication."

Even if we were to use such a crude metric, cognitive decline does not mean a person's speech becomes simpler or easier to understand. It's just the opposite (see word salad: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_salad).

Illumos is not just the kernel, it's a complete operating system - as is traditional in UNIX. This idea that you get a kernel from somewhere and a libc from somewhere else and a init from a third place etc. is quite unique to GNU/Linux.

I think it's not ideal to use the term "distribution" for their downstreams like SmartOS etc. because it reminds people of all these GNU/Linux distributions, but a better term doesn't immediately come to mind...
The US has common law, so I believe this ruling becomes precedent unless it is overturned.

What line does this walk? Things that are even physically possible and things that are not? I just can't believe Snopes dedicated cycles to debunking this.

Thankfully it got some press and they changed the label to "satire". I can't tell exactly when because the snopes link has been excluded from the way back machine (for whatever reason).
It’s absolutely scary. Particularly in the context where the suit is alleging the gun was illegally marketed, but the shooter didn’t buy the gun, he killed his mom and stole her gun before proceeding on to the school.

OpenShift went from open-source to closed-source. The infrastructure and organization was already in place.

I would say that it's stable enough for all RedHat customers who pay for it.

I have no doubts that old RedHat would do it, but IBM might have a different approach.
Hey Aaron, I work on Cortex which is a tool for continuously deploying models as HTTP endpoints on AWS. Under the hood we use Kubernetes instead of Lambda to avoid cold starts, enable more flexibility with customizing compute and memory usage (e.g. running inference on GPUs), and support spot instances. Could you clarify your comment regarding editing of config files? Is it still a problem if the configuration is declarative and tracked in git? I'd love to hear your feedback! (GitHub: https://github.com/cortexlabs/cortex | website: https://cortex.dev/)
In bullet 1, you say that you were heartbroken to see a citation in a defense project.

In bullet 2, you say that classification is the antithesis of science because projects are classified (read: not published)

But in Bullet 1, somebody cited you in an unclassified paper, and also once you publish you obviously don't get to control who uses your ideas or for what purpose short of a patent.

These seem mutually exclusive, but I might be misunderstanding.
At least, it would have been, if not for the massive early winter storm currently barreling across the Midwest.
The crux of the argument is that they advertised it for illegal use.

Governments, especially in some areas, are also often starved. They're trying to do work without the sufficient resources to do their work effectively. Companies in that state usually end up in a death spiral and fail.

Often this ineffectiveness is misconstrued as incompetence and used as evidence to further decrease the resources available.
To what extent do you guys maintain drive diversity artificially? i.e. include higher % seagates just to diversify risk of one batch/type being bad news.
I think a closer parallel would be a car company that advertises a sports car as excellent for racing. While there are legal racetracks, the manufacturer could be accused of promoting dangerous and illegal street racing as a way to push their product.

Do we want to effectively ban advertising a product as fit for a legal purpose, if that purpose has some functional overlap with illegal ones? It’s a reasonable question. How such a law would be implemented and executed, however, worries me greatly.
>Unless you've broken the law (and certain special cases), they have no authority over you.

This is not true at the border. They can seize your property, and delay you for what the law would say is temporary, but is long enough to be a major inconvenience.

So then why doesn't Backblaze have a Linux client again and just have like a 1TB limit or something? I mean, CrashPlan has both a Linux client and has unlimited storage. The great thing about CrashPlan as well is that it can be ran in a Docker container and the data is versioned as well.
I've seen it work exactly the same way in MSSQL, weirdly enough.

Sorry, was coming from an ARM perspective. Conditional execution is fun.
The x86 `syscall` instruction stores the return address into `rcx` as well as `RFLAGS` into `r11`. These are unconditionally clobbered and thus cannot be saved or used in a `syscall` transition.
It looks like the page has been updated:

> Part of a Broader Problem: The spread of border-related powers inland is inseparable from the broader expansion of government intrusion in the lives of ordinary Americans. For example, CBP claims the authority to conduct suspicionless searches of travelers' electronic devices—such as laptops and cell phones—at ports of entry, including international arrivals at airports. These searches are particularly invasive as a result of the wealth of personal information stored on such devices. At least one circuit court has held that federal officers must have at least "reasonable suspicion" prior to conducting such searches and recent Supreme Court precedent seems to support that view.

Wikis? Any thoughts in late 2019 on what you like and why?
This is so true, I had the exact same experience last year (back then they says it was something like 700 USD per core yearly for the startup plan), decided to table the offer and use their dump backups until I was bigger. Then they released Regional replicas as an enterprise feature and realized their core offering was complete and all the new cool stuff was going for their paid enterprise offering. Then they became proprietary and lost me completely. If I ever need distributed read replicas I can do it myself with Postgres or just use AWS RDS. My money is on Yugabyte now.
Making Sense of the Apple AR Glasses Rumors
I applaud the author for sharing their notes. But also, this is why HN (and general upvote-anything-that-looks-interesting forums) sucks. If you are actually defining architecture, you should not be reading these kind of blog posts. I get that they are interesting to the layman, but so is The Anarchist's Cookbook. Don't make whatever you read in The Anarchist's Cookbook.

And I'm crabbing about this because I am easily susceptible to Anarchists Cookbooks. I have had to implement X tech before, and googled for "How do I X", and some blog post came up saying "For X, Use Y". I'm too lazy to read 5 books on the general concept, so I just dive in and immediately download Y and run through the quick-start guide. After spending a while getting it going and getting past the "quick start", I wonder, "Ok, where's the long-start? What's next?" And that doesn't exist. And later, after a lot of digging, it turns out Y actually really sucks. But the blog post didn't go into that. I wasted my time (my own fault) because I read a short blog post.

A lot of people live by Infrastructure as Code, and so they will reach for literally anything which has that phrase in its description. But you don't need it to throw together an MVP, and a lot of the IaC "solutions" out there are annoying pieces of crap. I guarantee you that if you pick any of them up, you are in for months of occasionally painful edge cases where the answer to your problem is "You just weren't using it the right way."

In reality, if you want to be DevOps (yes, I'm using DevOps as an adjective, ugh) you should probably develop your entire development and deployment workflows by hand, and only when you've accomplished all of the basic requirements of a production service by hand (bootstrapping, configuration, provisioning, testing, deployment, security, metrics, logging, alerts, backup/restore, networking, scalability, load testing, continuous integration, immutable infrastructure & deployments, version-controlled configuration, documentation, etc), then you can start automating it all. If you've done all of these things before, automating it all from the start may be a breeze. If you haven't, you may spend a ton of time on automation, only later to learn that the above need to be changed, requiring rework of the automation.

President Trump has already started that process, and has asked Congress to help: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2019/06/24/7354323....

For example, they've already started mandating drug pricing transparency in advertising: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/14/health/drug-prices-tv-ads..., but are being opposed by industry groups obviously.
I'm with you on this one. People saying "it's about the advertising" are being disingenuous, or they haven't read the statements made by the plaintiffs in relation to the case. The argument being made is that the weapon that was marketed to civilians was "military-style" which, being blunt, it is not. By not striking this down as being a ridiculous case it's being left open for more lawsuits of a similar nature.

Now, leaving the firearms debate and politics out of it, if the same principles applied to every other industry the alcohol, tobacco, and automotive industries would all be out of business. At some point, society is going to have to realize that we should be protecting our children by at least the same standards that we use to protect our money.

Nothing. What happens is if the cause for the search was insufficient, the case gets kicked out in court.
The value is that they hire a ton of people with a very low bar. The smartest go into investment research, the next lot go into sales, the next into marketing, the rest into admin.

The effect, I believe, is two-fold: one, these guys are cheap. And two, you don't have to rely on someone's education, you can see if they actually can function in the workplace.

But this places a huge burden on actually being able to train people who aren't particularly intelligent to do a complex job and creating a team-based culture (i.e. where the sum is greater than the parts).

One example of this is Aberdeen Asset Management. They went from one guy in an office to one of the largest asset managers in the UK (and the world) by hiring this way. A big part of their growth came from acquiring firms with lots of lazy Oxbridge types, firing them all, and moving in their low-cost team of guys.

This isn't like what IBs do, it isn't what Jane Street. Both are highly selective, and hire into specific jobs. IBs will do a big training program over a few weeks to get everyone up to speed (i.e. on accounting, whatever) but what I am talking about is 3-month rotations through every part of the business.

HR at IBs hire "geniuses", they hire the best of the best...if you do this, it makes no sense to pay them a big salary and then stick them in the back office (they will probably get poached). Now most of these people aren't actually any good, most will get promoted up to VP because they have been there X years, and then get laid off during a recession...but the hiring culture is totally different (and btw, massively overstates the ability of HR too). And btw, it is semi-efficient because most IBs understand they will end up with a bunch of overpaid turnips...it is worth it to find the next rainmaker (but the rainmaker in asset management never pays off because they get poached).
It solves the issue of secret-sharing much better than any of the other proposed solutions here, including InstaPass. You can post the URL in a public channel with confidence, as even if an attacker accesses the URL, they have to verify themselves with their social identity to decrypt the data.

But yes, it's not end-to-end encrypted, so you're better off self-hosting your own instance of sharelock.
Is it dumb though? Why should they care about Linux users? Really, how does it make sense for them to spend time on it?
Yes. If the magistrate fails to notice the illegal-ness of the evidence and gives the warrant, it is valid nonetheless.
We use the standard Microsoft stuff. SQL Server, SSIS, SSRS, PowerBI. There are some pain points, but for the most part, it works, and it's pretty inexpensive if you're already a Microsoft shop.
One major public source for numbers games results was the last 3 digits of the daily Dow Jones Industrial Average. Published in most large US newspapers, difficult to hack or predict.
Queues introduce entire other dimensions of complexity. Now you've got to monitor your queue size (and ideally autoscale when the queue backlog grows), and have a dead letter queue for messages that failed processing and monitor that. Tracing requests is harder b/c now your logs are scattered around the worker fleet, so debugging becomes harder. You need more APIs for the client to poll the async state, and you need some data store to track the async state (and now you've got to worry about maintaining and monitoring that data store). It's a can of worms that should be avoided when possible.

The only way to know whether or not to accept this kind of complexity is to think about your use cases. Quite often it's fine (and desirable) to fail fast and make the client retry.
yeah, was going to say if you have access to the target user's `~/.ssh/config`, you have access to their keys.

Though I suppose if a key has a password on it, this attack might be useful.
It’s a bummer there is still so much serious political discussion about which people count as people.

Your idea of genius seems to be simplicity. I consider genius the ability to understand things others cannot. I think the question is, how long did the researchers get away with this fraudulent act compared to bankers who created the last recession? The ability to hide something for longer from more eyes is a greater sign of genius than coming up with a trick nobody bothered to verify.

And of course, the really fucked up part is what the bankers did was legal.

I feel like you're ascribing genius to the equivalent of a parlor trick.
