Correct, there are no actual vulnerabilities in the hardware or whatever. It's that people are re-using passwords, getting phished etc.

But... based on the number of people I've seen had their Facebook account "hacked", there are going to be lots and lots of potential victims here. Enable 2fa, use a unique password for this account, and this will never happen to you.
No, but my camera watching what happens outside of my house is also not the same as a police camera. I didn't have such a camera at my old house, but if I did, there were several happenings that would have been reported to police.
> That geofence warrants scoop up innocents’ data has now been proven beyond doubt.

While true, it's unclear how relevant this is. The equivalent police process of canvassing people determined to be likely bystanders also involves police interviewing and investigating people who turn out to be innocent.

Probably the relevant question is "Is there a fundamental difference between police identifying potential involved parties via eyewitness testimony and 'common sense' practices like looking for windows overseeing a crime scene and police fetching location identifiers from passive sensors?"
I don't think that's a fair depiction of why people code on their own time. Some people just love making things, it makes them happy. I'm not young but still find the time to build projects in my spare time because I want to, not because it's training. I'd even go so far as to say I "have" to do that as I get pretty unhappy if I don't have some personal projects going where I can explore ideas and be creative. It's a side effect that I've learned a ton of valuable skills building personal projects and those skill directly translate into market value.
Also would love to understand what they consider a "mental health reason." I think we used to call that "it's just too stressful."
Interestingly the New Yorker manages to take the edge off of head-shot photo competition by using caricatures of its regular authors instead of photos.
One thing to watch out for currently are memory leaks that retain previous state even if unmounted and/or unrelated.

I’ve seen several bugs especially with useRef/memo, and animation related hooks, or hooks that combine several together to expose a simpler api.

I didn’t notice them until working with larger file uploads and local content. They can be hard to spot with small changes, Since they are usually deep in the memory trace stack.

The component with the bug doesn’t need to even be in the tree to accidentally retain state that you’ve cleared/unmounted.

Since then I’ve made a simple test that saves a large test blob to local state, and makes sure it gets garbage collected etc, not stuck in another components previous state memory snapshot.

—

An example could be a loading animation above/outside the tree, that uses a hook somewhere inside its library that tracks browser size changes. It wouldn’t seem to affect you, but it could inadvertently cache some state in the window. So you’d only detect it if you’re working with very large content.

What you really need is an open database.

Are we talking about programming, specifically?

Programmers are paid relatively well because

1. Software is "eating the world", so a lot of software is being written leading to demand for programmers.
2. Programming scales really well. Software has zero reproduction cost and can reach a global audience almost instantaneously. So software companies can make a lot of money with relatively few employees.

What would be the mechanism for pay dropping when women enter a profession?

Some global masterminds reducing pay across multiple corporations across the board when they find out women are being hired in that industry?

Maybe it's just a matter of a sudden increase of supply of workers as women enter a field to meet the existing demand, driving wages down?

Is it because the women are being paid less, while the men are being paid the same as before?

I imagine turning yourself in for even a felony is not as life-shattering in Norway as it is in America. Considering the number of people who die in jail awaiting trial for misdemeanors, let alone those who lose their jobs or have their property confiscated via civil forfeiture, you might be better off just heading for a border if the police even think you've done something.
As a lifelong voter who has voted straight-ticket Democrat in every election since my 18th birthday because I'm convinced that the Republican Party's dominance is inimical to the continued liberty, prosperity, and happiness of all Americans, I don't buy Moore's reasoning.

40 years ago (in 1979) was when Margaret Thatcher began her tenure as prime minister, which didn't end until 1990. Her project to dismantle the post-war British welfare state remains ongoing. Why wasn't he voting to oppose the Tories at every opportunity? Why go so long without voting, and ignore opportunities to at least symbolically oppose other Conservative PMs like John Major, David Cameron, and Theresa May?

Why now, of all times? Why not a couple of years ago, when David Cameron first floated Brexit? What makes the current situation so critical? As far as I can tell the situation has been critical since 1980. Has Moore not been paying attention?
Firstly, thanks!

We wouldn't even have history without the neolithic. We wouldn't have written language. We'd be forever in a holding pattern of hunterer-gatherer society. Now, while that may be cool in some aspects, a hunter-gatherer society is never going to land on the moon, explore the stars, destroy an asteroid with a collision course for earth, cure a disease that would wipe out the whole population, build flying machines and sailing machines to connect the whole globe, etc. Our chances of survival as a species have improved as a result of technology. And war has traditionally been one of the most motivating factors for the development of technology, for better or for worse.

Over the last 2 months, I've noticed Facebook has almost completely stopped responding to any vulnerability finds or bug bounty tickets submitted. It's gotten really bad.

For instance, right now all 70,000,000 of the Facebook users in Vietnam have their information posted online on an open web server. I am not going to post it just yet in the last hope that someone from FB will reach out to me, but the info is their along with their IMEI number, cell phone number, information on what ads they've seen and clicked on, etc. For some users there are absolutely private messages, it appears to be only for Muslims in Vietnam though (so not all nor am I saying all).

Until yesterday, the S3 bucket https://whatsapp-messages.s3.amazonaws.com was open. You can search CNAME records if you have a SecurityTrails subscription, and this bucket belongs to a certain FB contractor. In fairness it could have been something known as "Domain Shadowing" whereby you secretly hack a groups subdomain records for evading firewall purposes, but in that case the argument still stands.

It had over 13,000 pictures from various Latin American police departments that change every few days while I tracked it.

NOTE: FB Security ppl, my email is in my profile.

EDIT: This is a very good paper from Tsinghua University in 2016 on Domain Shadowing, which more people should be aware of. Check your subdomains, and make sure you use the free option in SecurityTrails to do it. Passive DNS checks aren't enough here: https://faculty.sites.uci.edu/zhouli/files/2018/09/ccs17.pdf
They say later that

> When a feedback instrument surveys eight colleagues about your business acumen, your score of 3.79 is far greater a distortion than if it simply surveyed one person about you—the 3.79 number is all noise, no signal.

Which implies to me that they believe there is signal there, but that it goes away when aggregated?
You'll be happy to know I have nothing to do with hiring of any kind, but just as an individual contributor it seems quite unhealthy to me to work on a team where work is my #1 priority, but everyone else's distant second.

I suspect you'd find it quite ridiculous to have to pick up my slack as I have to run at 5pm to practice with my bandmates, at least if you weren't paid correspondingly more for the extra effort. Change that to a PTA meeting or soccer practice, though, and suddenly it's how dare you suggest that I get paid less for not only doing less work than you, but doing some of the work I was expected to in the first place!
I find Brave New World by Huxley to be a much more accurate portrayal of the current state of affairs at least with regard to the whole, actively participating in and enjoying our descent into total surveillance and control. There's a YouTube video somewhere showing the comparison but I don't have a good enough connection right now to search YouTube.
But does this mean nonbinary people shouldn't get personal spaces, or their own personal space, and what happens when someone is genderfluid, etc, do they have to shift their personal space each time they feel more male/female?

I'm mostly just trying to understand how this is applicable within my circle of friends.
The reason for the mass graves of course, is the increase in human population as a result of agriculture. It's not necessarily that as a percentage, you were less likely to be a victim of violence in the Paleolithic era.
Operational: activitypub can be extended with proprietary vocabulary without any issues, so they can develop features quietly before proposing them for inclusion in the spec, if they even do that.

Business: what kind of work would contribute to their competitors? On the standard? Well, 90% of open standards (invented number) was created by for profit companies. On libraries and services, why would it?

Technical: implementing global search on the www as a whole is also impossible.
Before you get too invested in your strategy, I'd like to let you know I think the way you're trying to bootstrap your service is super spammy if your plan is to post these links on HN as often as possible.
Ah sorry about that! I was having trouble getting my articles seen so I figured reaching out to a handful of power users with more karma points (like you!) would help. In my defense, this is best practice in other forums like Product Hunt so I thought reaching out respectfully would be okay here too. And I saw no asking for upvotes/comments in the forum guidelines but didn't see anything against asking for a submission :)

In any event, my apologies again for the troubles. I have ironed this out with the moderator (who has adjusted the guidelines) and I've paused my emailing. I wasn't aware of the rule, but I am now.

I'm new here so not trying to start an argument. But hopefully where I'm coming from makes sense. Reaching out simply felt logical to me, not unethical.
It is the determination that is illegal itself.
Yeah, apparently downvotes can be used as a "disagree" signal. Usually when I see a comment being unfairly downvoted that way, I upvote as a counter-balance, even if I disagree with the argument (i.e., how many bytes in 1kB).

Better for them to learn early on that stocks can fall, with small amounts of money.

People need to be allowed to make mistakes with low risk.
Perhaps, but this is only important if you need the absolute best coder above all other skills. People do other things during their free time that can build valuable skills that contribute to them being a better programmer and teammate. For example, volunteer coaching makes you a better mentor, playing team sports can make you a better collaborator, etc.

Just being good at code isn’t the only important thing. Programming requires communication and understanding what people want. Sometimes you need to debug the human mind.
Welcome to Russia! Your free one-way ticket to Gulag is right here :D
Well it's certainly an open question, although here's something that's just struck me. Careers that were dominated by women were in the orbit of doctors and lawyers, those being nurses, paralegals and secretaries. If you're thinking about being a nurse, why not consider being a doctor? I'm not sure STEM professions had these associated careers.
When it comes to things like threats of physical violence, threats to get someone fired, or even blacklisted at other companies, I expect to see offenders immediately dismissed. That's a basic workplace hygiene issue, and none of the companies I've ever worked for would tolerate it.

Cultural flourishing != happiness

Culture "flourishes" until civilized people can't take the lack of love and happiness anymore, then the potlach happens.

> what's to stop other companies doing this in a predatory way? Start an "open source" project, gather years of valuable contributions from a enthusiastic community, then pull the rug?

Pulling the rug would mean revealing that your company never really owned the copyright, so at the very least you make yourself look bad.

Also, I don't imagine courts take a favourable view of transfers of ownership which are essentially fraudulent. I'm not a lawyer, as you can doubtless tell, but I presume it wouldn't be good for you if they could prove you'd planned the thing from the start.

There's an analogy outside of copyright: stolen goods. Sale of stolen goods isn't a legal transfer of ownership, but you don't want to be caught knowingly selling stolen goods, much less proven guilty of it (and the whole point of 'pulling the rug' is that things play out in court). I presume a similar principle would apply with intellectual property.
Huginn is more of a framework for writing and running these scripts. It has some built in modules to make the process easier. IE: The webhook agent is an easy want of getting POST data into a script without bootstrapping a webserver yourself, you can then just raise an event and have another script handle it. No need to write and manage everything individually, you can run everything in one place.

Men in general, are more aggressive and assertive when it comes to pay increases. If a male dominated industry has sustained pay increases year on year, this is probably why. Over time, female dominated professions have wages that do not increase at the same rate.
I can't work without music, it drives me crazy.

I have ADHD, so working in an environment with lots of voices and other sounds is impossible for me.

I've also got tinnitus, so working in silence will drive me insane too.

I'm listening to music for upwards of 12 hours a day. It also helps that I have a real passion for music, mostly techno and psytrance, and also DJ and produce, so I love it.
I'm taking an EMT training class as part of my transition out of software into medicine. I'm very excited for it!
I can listen to music when doing easy/repetitive work - it actually makes it seem less dull. When working on something hard or reading/learning something I can't listen to music.

To be fair, if you're passing the closure to a component that extends PureComponent or is wrapped by React.memo, then memoizing the closure will ensure you take advantage of that optimization in the child; otherwise, you're passing a branch new function reference on every render, which means the child is needlessly re-rendering. At work, we have many components that are very complex but take a limited set of props, so these kinds of optimizations are absolutely vital for good performance.

That said, you're correct in that this should be the exception and not the rule. It's pointless to do this for a component that returns a single element, as the virtual DOM reconciliation will be much faster than the memoization + props comparison.

Yes, don't forget all the shitty careers, with long hours, danger, and significant health hazards. Not much equality of outcome on those either. Somehow no one is claiming sexism is the cause of disparity for those.

It doesn’t say anything about how well you can “ship” a product because you posted it to Github.

“shipping a product” involves knowing what trade offs to make, deadlines, working with QA, deployment strategies, documentation, not breaking preexisting code, etc., dealing with security and regulatory audits, etc.

Nothing about posting a pet project on Github gives a signal about shipping a product in the real world.

> You know what makes my blood pressure rise? People in real life and in this thread who tell me that I'm naturally not suited to it, that I like people more than things.

Well... most men aren't suited for STEM, either.

I think that there may be some validity in saying that women, on average, have a temperament difference or focus difference or whatever that makes them want STEM less. But there is NO validity in saying to any particular individual "therefore you are not suited". No, you judge the individual by the individual, not by the group.
This is an inane comparison. Excel doesn't scale nor provide the features than an EHR system does, let alone meet various regulatory and audit requirements.
