The article is indeed lengthy. I'll try to distill and contextualize it:

- Thai soccer team gets stranded in a cave

- British expat and diving expert helps with the rescue effort

- Musk also tries to help, dedicating a small team from SpaceX to design a submarine to rescue the kids, with preliminary approval of his efforts by the Thai government

- The kids happen to be rescued before Musk's submarine could be put to use

- The British expat got on CNN, implied that Musk was just in it for the publicity, and said that Musk can "stick his sub where it hurts"

- Musk had a Google alert on his name and was quickly notified of this. He Googled the man's location and saw that he lived in an area of Thailand with a lot of trafficking victims, which gave him ammunition for a tweet. Allegedly, he didn't even know that it was the same person that helped with the rescue.

- He got on Twitter shortly thereafter, defended his submarine, and called the British expat a "pedo guy" (Musk claimed that this was slang-like and he didn't actually mean that the expat was an actual pedo guy)

- The expat sent Musk a letter asking him to retract his comments publicly. Musk saw it as a financial shakedown and refused. Later, in court, the expat was offended with Musk's reading of the letter as a shakedown.

- Someone employed by Musk's family office hired an investigator who claimed that he can discover whether there is some truth to the "pedo guy" claim. He also said that he already had some intel. Any confirmatory evidence could be used as defense in a potential defamation suit, though it would be retroactive in this case. The investigator turned out to be a con man and turned up nothing of substance.

- The expat filed a defamation suit which has gone to court. A judge and jury (of around 40 people, no less) are assessing the facts of the case, and Musk had to testify in court for several hours.

I think the case would be more clear if the expat didn't attack Musk's reputation first.

Which is why a system that allows recyclers to verify if a device was stolen and return stolen devices and get locked non-stolen devices would be good?
This is an interesting twist in the processor wars, here is the #1 cloud company that is turning its profits in providing cloud services in to processor R&D to build new CPUs.

This is a much more important announcement than the press is giving it credit for.

I have argued in the past the Intel "lost" the smartphone CPU war because Apple decided not to wait for them to come up with some high margin processor compromise and instead to re-invest profits into the development of bespoke processors that gave their products an edge over their rivals. Others like Samsung followed suit with own processors for Android.

Doing this both takes away Intel's ability to 'gate' what is and isn't a cellphone processor, and their ability to set the margins they would like.

Amazon, Facebook, and Google have been designing and building their own server designs for years. This takes away Intel's ability to gate their choices at the Server manufacturer. As a result more AMD server processors were deployed by these three companies than the rest of the market combined.

Now Amazon is taking profits from the AWS service and re-investing them in bespoke CPUs that are tuned to the workloads they can see customers running on their infrastructure. As a result they will not only enhance their cost/power edge over Google, Microsoft, and everyone else, their infrastructure can be better than anything you can buy in order to run your own workload, locking you into their service (a moat if you will for keeping you there).

If they succeed, Google and Facebook will follow suit. (I am guessing Google already is well down this path, knowing them but also knowing their secrecy about such things)

If you take 50% of the enterprise server market out of Intel's portfolio they are left fighting for enthusiast/gamer share and AMD is eating their lunch there.

It is going to be really interesting to watch this play out.

The MSR saw some of the fluorine react with UF4 to make UF6, which is volatile. There is the potential for fuel to be volatilized and transported elsewhere in the reactor system, causing possible concern for criticality accidents.
The Vectrex was a video game that came with its own vector monitor built in. It was only black and white and relied on plastic screen overlays to get color in different parts of the screen.

A long time ago I was Chief Data Scientist at 500px following the acquisition of a company I cofounded and this was exactly what I was advocating for. Professional photographers are cash poor, but with the right interface and contracts we could have done it. I wasn't able to get the CEO to see things my way and other problems with the company led to my departure, but I still think this is a viable business. The key here is what is meant by "inexpensive" because $500 is inexpensive to BMW but expensive to a startup.
>Can you blame them for trying to help themselves?

I don't blame them for trying to find a remedy, I do blame those that take advantage of that.
> this vulnerability is remotely exploitable in smtpd, ldapd, and radiusd, but its real-world impact should be studied on a case-by-case basis. For example, sshd is not exploitable thanks to its defense-in-depth mechanisms.

Does this mean OpenBSD will have to update the tagline on their website that says "Only two remote holes in the default install, in a heck of a long time!"?
I think personal opinions are quite relevant here, legally speaking the law is clear and we've all got a problem with that - concurrently, legally speaking any game you've got through steam is a leased copy so if steam revoked your ability to play it tonight you wouldn't have a clear legal way to challenge them (unless the game is a subscription and they continue to collect that fee)

I'm not sure I follow you. My claim means that there is the opinion in the EU that Huawei should be banned. For some reason you understand that as "The EU banned Huawei". That's not what I claimed, and I have no idea how you get from one to the other.
A pool of statistical outliers is not a "big pool" that the parent comment was referring too. There are quite a few brilliant software engineers I got a chance to work with who had no college education whatsoever, but they are very clearly outliers among very few. I strongly doubt there is some big untapped pool of engineers without degrees who are just being completely overlooked simply for not having a degree.

The only thing surprising here is that it isn't scalp cancer.

Hair straighteners work by breaking and reforming the disulphide bonds in proteins. Proteins perform many important roles related to DNA repair, chromosome formation, DNA replication, and other cancer-relevant actions. It can't be good to have bonds in those proteins getting changed somewhat randomly.
Can you imagine that Bill Gates would get wealthy again or Warren Buffett? They would be lauded as heroes! They already are for suggesting something similar, just at death. They give away so much already and are loved for that.

What if they were that person twice our three times! The most productive people will have a new incentive to create tremendous value again!

Very soon I will get a warning from hn that I'm posting too fast. I Don't know when that will be but I will respond when I can. I love the constructive dialog.

I really do believe in this plan.
> Yes, it’s one thing to promote a cleaner and faster web though better design and implementation. It’s another thing for Google to use its effectively monopoly power to enforce that.

AMP is more than just cleaner and faster - it gives Google control. They could discriminate on cleaner and faster without it, but they purposefully don't mention that, since it would undercut the push for AMP.
Why do you care? You like the address bar to show the original domain name? What if this UX problem was solved by the address bar always showing the original URL, regardless of whether the content was loaded from an AMP cache or not?
That's why I like DBJs method. You still use a command line program, but you pass a filehandle that the authentication data can be read from.. this seems much safer than trying to parse and re-format that data as an intermediary. Also avoids any data leaks through the often unprotected 'cmdline'.

Is there some technical reason OpenBSD doesn't do this?

Alias is a super weird feature of AWS Lambda imho. We setup separate Lambdas for dev, test and prod instead, like Serverless Framework does it.
What's very cool about this to me is how well put this report is in layman's terms.

Also is this going to increment the "X remote vulnerabilities in X years"?
I am glad that they have statistical evidence, however it has been believed for a long time.

Beauty salons use a wide variety of products that are biologically active and unregulated. Many are known carcinogens, and working at a beauty salon puts you at increased risk of cancer. See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19755396 for random verification.

The question is what it does to the customers. It has long been suspected that increased cancer rates among blacks are tied to the fact that they are more likely to use beauty salons than whites. And if they do use them, they use them more often.
23% of the women who apply to Harvey Mudd are admitted. 10% of the men who apply to Harvey Mudd are admitted. It sounds like they have one admissions process for women, and a different one for me. That's one way to get 50/50 I suppose.

That wouldn't fly in the workplace. I'm surprised it's acceptable under Title IX.

This is what I did. When the Google News redesign happened, it made Google News substantially less useful to me. Enough so that came up with a replacement.

It's not for everyone, as it requires running your own webserver, but I use Tiny Tiny RSS to aggregate the feeds of the various sources I'm interested in, then can read the aggregated feeds (I have multiple, a different feed for each general subject) through the web interface and/or by using an RSS reader. I use an RSS reader (gReader) on my mobile devices to do this.
It's the retailer you'd have to sue, as they sold you the dodgy product. Even if you won, they're unlikely to take Disney to court.
Just realized this is iOS-only. Any chance you've built this on react-native (which will make it trivial to port to Android)?
The economics of on-demand are totally different:

First, there's a delivery part. Delivery companies often become very big and make a lot of money.

Second, centralizing many small dry cleaning places into one has Significant economic advantages.

Third, they probably use an asset-lite model like Uber.

Fourth, all those make them somewhat similar to some sucsesfull, high growth companies , so it's possible they'll grow big.
This tax on "imputed income" actually exists in Switzerland for properties, with interesting effects on the market.
I've had a bike stolen from a closed off area surrounded by cameras and needing badges to enter. The police were called and didn't even bother with pulling footage, in fact no one did. I've heard almost a hundred stories about dashcams capturing the plates of at-fault drivers in accidents and nothing coming of it.
Odd that they spend so much time talking about alignment, because all of my trinitron based CRT monitors over 20" needed to be adjusted seemingly on a daily basis to converge correctly across the whole screen. This was something that I rarely remember doing with the cheap shadow mask monitors (although frankly they were generally smaller screens) and at a lower resolution.

The trinitron monitors I had were running 1600x1200 or better and with a small font the convergence would give white text a purple shadow/etc. Very 1980's apple ][, which a lot of people seemed to be OK with, or maybe its just because they ran much lower resolution TV signals or much larger fonts.
"Product people" is a very generic term, which likely includes some of what you mentioned.

Not if the bypass requires a cryptographicly signed verification by Apple that the device was not reported stolen.
Some of the big podcast apps have recently been sold and it only makes sense that they plan on adding telemetry.

The MP3 file might not change, but there's a chance that they are going to start watching you play it.

A lot of investments have been made in the podcast world recently and VCs usually don't make things better.

Most of the issues are classified as Local privilege escalation, and none of the daemons mentioned are enabled by default, sshd can be enabled in the installer, but as the quote says "sshd is not exploitable thanks to its defense-in-depth mechanisms."

So, no. Still holds.

And even for the user that only uses high level web frameworks, the moment that user needs to debug its program (which might have a bug in its executor), it needs to understand pinning.

I don't see any use case in which understanding pinning is not necessary.

You go with the data that you have, not the data you wish you could get.

It would be nice to redo the study with a large population that is randomly selected. However there is also no reason to believe that the results will be significantly different in direction. Therefore it would also be unwise to discount this result.

I would not say this is on response to riscv. First of all, ARM was one of the very few vendors not supporting before but mainly due to their co-processor model. Second, the reason arm in giving in now is due to new performance requirements for v8-m due to crypto and ml usecases.
This feels like an old school vulnerability. Things like this were the norm in the 90's and early 2000's. It feels weird to see an exploit like this now in a large and well known project, and very weird for it to be in OpenBSD.

It just goes to show, as a user you can make informed choices in what software to use to reduce your security exposure, but that's not enough. You still need to pay attention to new problems that might pop up. No software is guaranteed to be safe in perpetuity.
> I get all the arguments against AMP, but "annoying for users" surely isn't one of them.

Sure it is. It's certainly not annoying for all users, but it is annoying for some, including myself.
Apparently, the avg cyclist in the city pedals at 50W to move forward. Now, imagine you'd have to power your USB charger at 20W at an 80% efficiency factor (which is what current high-end hub dynamos manage regarding efficiency):

Your avg city biker will only have left half of his pedal power to move his bike across town.

I recently came across a quite new rim dynamo [1] which seems to have bearings that last for ~15.000km which might be a real alternative to hub dynamos regarding efficiency. Never had the chance to try one so far since my hub dynamo is still going strong.

it's ethical to not look at a billboard.

it's probably not ethical to vandalize a billboard so other people can't see the ad on it.

it's definitely not ethical to sell billboard vandalism as a service, or to patronize a service that does that.
It's true that it is hard to see the harm constant surveillance causes. The impacts it has on your life are so indirect that it's often impossible to trace, or to even know that it's happened.

The data companies collect from you is sold to others who collect it and sell it in turn. Dossiers are constructed about you as an individual listing your specific traits, activities, political leanings, etc. You can't see what these companies have decided about you, how accurate it is, who has access to your data, how they are using it, how (or if) they are securing it.

Sometimes when it comes back to bite you in the ass you'll know. your data will be leaked to the public internet, or you'll be a victim of identify theft.

Other times, your life will be impacted but you won't know why. Maybe you don't get called back for an interview at a job you wanted, but you don't know it was because they didn't like something saw in a report from a data broker (you bought too much alcohol for example). Maybe your insurance rates go up next year, but you won't know it's because of how often you eat out. Maybe you can't get a table at the restaurant you wanted to eat at, or maybe you're paying $10 more for a product you buy online than your neighbor, maybe you just wait on a hold a little longer than others when you call customer service, but you won't know it's because you weren't rated highly enough on your secret "consumer score".

The way the data companies collect can be used against you are myriad and subtle, but it's being done all the time, it's probably already impacted you. You just aren't allowed to know it.
The relationship is causal. Married couples are a household. Married couples consist of two people. Two people is more than one person. Two incomes is more than one income, etc. Even though all married households are not dual income, those that are shift up the mean for the rest. This is an artifact of measurement via 'household'.
When the AI worked it worked well but when it failed the failure was obvious and creepy.
>I think what you really need are smart people, and people who are willing to put in the work to get past the first few years of stumbling and not knowing what anything means.

I totally agree with you, but that doesn't solve the issue, there are not that many of those people out there struggling to get jobs, because employers already know about this trick. That's why a bunch of quant and other top-tier finance shops are full of math and physics grads who had almost zero knowledge of finance before getting hired for those jobs.
I advised a friend to ditch the JS-powered pop-out social media icons which were hovering almost out of sight over on the right. They said quite flatly, "nope, that's staying". That was probably ten years ago. There is a school of public opinion that everyone seems to be attending. The things they learn there are not always logical or justifiable but I get the impression that they all want to secure their piece of the pie and that means meeting everyone's expectations, so they are all doing it to each other, together. Google is "merely" running classes in that school, it seems... and of course helping the school keep running by supplying tons of tech.

I was mildly disgusted when required reading for freshman orientation at Akron U included a book called Nickel and Dimed. The gist was something like "get your education or you're screwed". But people made it that way in the first place! Everyone supposedly needing formal higher education in order to have any decent future isn't something that just happens, it's something the human race is doing to itself. Leave it to a higher education institution to push the idea that "this is just the way it is, do the right thing if you know what's good for you".

edit: obvs I didn't read the book, it's not exactly like I said. I think I bought the book but dropped that "class" anyway

In a similar way, stupid "trends" like social media buttons and Like buttons are just examples of how everyone is ruining the web together. These days it's the aforementioned massive JS frameworks and SPAs and of course the obsession with "analytics." In a way it's nice for me and my workstation because it helps drive up the current average affordable densities of RAM and storage, but ...it's slavery. And Google seems to be less and less bashful about it.

"you are slaves of whatever you submit to by obeying" --that guy
Somewhat diverging from the topic, but I wonder how many “chronic Lyme” cases people self-diagnose are instances of parvovirus B19. I'm in the process of recovering from a B19 infection now, but had my kids not gotten it first and displayed the classic slapped-face rash of parvo, I would have almost certainly gone down the Lyme rabbit hole based on the signs and symptoms I've been experiencing. The spontaneous appearance of rheumatoid arthritis that lingers for weeks immediately brings to mind the colloquial notion of Lyme disease.
