No, that’s “x32”. “x86_32” is not an official name for anything, but based on the contents of the post, I believe Andy Lutomirski is using it to refer to 32-bit x86, aka i386.
Bedbugs are easy to kill. Just steam ‘em long enough. Or some other fumigation method. Or an autoclave. Or ethylene oxide if you want to sterilize it. Or freezer temperatures for enough days.

That’s an easily industrializable problem for mattresses. They’re standard size.

Seal them up in plastic when you’re done.

Getting them out of furniture or behind floorboards is harder.
I have a hard time beliving that this one is real:

I am a lawyer but I still don’t understand how these warrants can be constitutional (or legal). Doesn’t it have to be specific in its request, “identifying the person or property”? First, google would have to search its entire systems for the specific location, then narrow down to the specific time. (I know it’s probably the same search. But wouldn’t that be too broad and not “identifying” enough for the warrant?
I remember it well, and talking emojis seems like something of an homage in part to this. Of course it would be a nice slack bot as well :-)
You've made this point elsewhere in the thread, but it doesn't really make any sense. See the responses to your other comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21775710
It's not about amounts, it's about perception and policies. The idea of selling a product even remotely related to my job description to my current employer just sounds like a whole bag of nasty waiting to drop.

What happens when you leave the company and try to increase the price to make a business out of it? Did you create a situation through the course of your employment such that the company you left is now dependent on your products? Would they have made different choices in what tool to use if it cost more at the time? Will even bringing up the idea of charging your employer cost you a lot of social capital with your supervisor and make you look like you're aiming to resign soon to work on a new project and aren't fully committed to your job?

Will they expect you to offer software for a $1 indefinite license including free updates for life or not including support or upgrades? Will they balk when your support or custom features cost $200/hr and cry foul? Companies are led by MBAs. They don't want to spend money and are very good at avoiding it at your expense.

Will they use their vastly larger capital to sue you for it, if indeed it is critical to them, arguing that if you felt it was useful enough to the company to sell it to them then it was part of your job responsibilities to work on it (excepting the case where you did the project prior to starting work at the company). Will you somehow be able to prove that it was done outside of work hours and relied in no way on your confidential knowledge of what the company does?

It's just messy and the potential for really really messy. You might manage to pull it off, but I personally would not try this unless the case was extremely clear cut and everyone involved knew everything so that no one could retroactively claim it was done in an underhanded way. But I was a boy scout so I learned that if you aren't willing to be totally transparent in your approach you probably actually don't think it's ethical. Clearly not applicable to today's top business schools, of course...
Yeah the closest I can see is what genpfault posted as a reply: Archon: The Light and the Dark. Hope that's it, otherwise I can't find much, either.
The real question is: is there a market for privacy-respecting tech services (think Apple's new stance on E2E privacy or laptops like Purism), such that consumers themselves can vote with their own dollars? The best way to protect and re-establish the right to personal privacy is through market demand, not legislation.
Not actually brute forcing individual ring accounts. They are just using previously leaked combinations
I tend to believe it is so. However I'm honest enough to admit it is a belief that might be wrong. I'm also honest enough to admit in most cases the difference (whatever it is) isn't significant to the situation at hand.
My local Children's Museum had a PC running Musical Instruments for years. I loved playing around with it; easily the only Microsoft software I've ever felt strongly about (in a non-negative way, anyway).
Genuine question - where is the concrete evidence of harm from the interference in the 2016 elections? We hear a lot about how Cambridge Analytica destroyed the political process, or Russia... But what are the facts in evidence for harm?

Put another way: how can we determine actual harm caused, and be sure that it isn't blown out of proportion? (IE Cambridge Analytica playing up their capabilities to get new customers)
Great execution for a much needed service, hope you find a way to keep it alive.
It does not imply this, because it's likely to be relative rather than absolute levels of sexism that are relevant.
All tech company jobs I’ve had (in California) had IP assignment clauses. They are not illegal. CA companies can claim ownership of IP produced by employees on their own time and equipment if it “Relate[s] at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer”

This is a huge loophole for larger companies who can argue that everything you do may relate to their future business.

Is it going to be enough more to make a difference in my lifestyle?
I am a woman, and this pervasive opinion that women are leaving STEM fields because of toxic behavior feels more sexist to me than anything else. It seems to me that if you have a genuine passion for STEM stuff, it takes a lot more than a bad environment to completely redirect your career path.

Every woman I know with a genuine and deep interest in STEM subjects has had to deal with some level of toxic/sexist/whatever stuff in their life, and they persevered and dealt with it because they weren't going to let it get in the way of their passion.

It might sound harsh, but I don't feel terribly concerned about keeping these displaced women in STEM; if their interest isn't strong enough to overcome a bad environment, then maybe they just weren't that interested to begin with. That's not a bad thing, it just means that they misjudged the interest:difficulty ratio.

Of the cases I know of personally, most of these women ended up in a job working fairly close with STEM stuff, writing manuals, doing graphic design, etc, and are perfectly fine with those jobs.

To be clear, I'm not accounting for cases where an entire university or business or whatever is made up of toxic sexism, but that's been pretty uncommon in my experience in the US.

Women of STEM: if you've got a bad environment, do something about it! Tell your higher-ups, talk to people directly, seek a different position, endure what you can, and for God's sake stand up for yourself.

tl;dr the implication that most women in STEM can't handle a toxic work environment without giving up entirely doesn't seem that progressive at all

NB disclaimer, most people I know are computer scientists, plus a few mathematicians, so maybe engineering is different
Method wise, you are correct. However, forcing all the users to adopt a new password creation paradigm will statistically make this a very small issue.
And it needs to be brought up frequently because marxist DEI policy trying to force an outcome is all the rage in tech these days.
Your comment should be the top comment. I had no clue i386 and x86_32 where different. I though the article was saying 32bit linux is broken.... but no some strange "alternative" mode on linux is broken.... who cares.
I too, look forward to being downvoted.
> but I think you are biased towards some piece of tech just because you're more familiar with it.

Or because I spent more than half my career fuddling with sub-optimal technologies (up to and including Angular and Vue) and React had good answers for most of my complaints.

> Loops in JSX are not obvious.

Because loops don't exist in JSX. It is obvious, because it's not clear how you would even write one. Maybe someone might naively try something like this:

const Todo = props => {
return (<ul>
{for (todo in props.todos) {
<li>{todo}</li>
}}
</ul>)
}

And get a perfectly reasonable JavaScript error: expression expected. This is just an orphaned loop, like you tried to put a loop in an argument to a function. From there it's an easy step (or a quick stack overflow) to figure out that you need to use the loop to build your array before inserting it into the JSX. Once you've seen this pattern, ternaries and "slot" components become obvious.

I can vouch for all of this being very easy to learn -- I'm constantly impressed by how quickly my students pick up "advanced" React concepts. Anecdotal evidence, sure, but it makes my life easy that I can explain the entire React+JSX API in 20 minutes and under a dozen slides.

Anyways, I like Vue. I think it has some great ideas -- but I wouldn't use it without JSX and at that point I might as well use React. It's my conviction that templates are misery and I'll champion any technology that gets us away from them.
> It is camera owners voluntarily sharing footage with police when they request it.

Police can request that you share the footage you have, or police can get a warrant and obtain the footage directly from Ring.

The difference between a camera whose footage you control and Ring is that Ring provides a nice interface to let police know that potential video evidence that you captured exists. A camera system that you rolled out yourself doesn't send a message to law enforcement agencies each time your cameras potentially capture evidence.

The knowledge that video evidence exists makes it infinitely easier to get a warrant for it from a judge.

Depends on the car. Our '81 VW camper is loosy-goosy enough that without the parking brake it will creep its way down our angled-but-not-anywhere-near-45-degrees driveway. On any kind of an incline, I don't trust the compression leakage on even a new car. But that's for manuals that rely on engine compression to to hold them in place. Automatics (at least the ones I've torn apart) have a pin to lock the transmission, and not rely on rolling up against engine compression.
How the author seems to get and present such a distorted view of the original Netflix culture slides (which we modeled quite a lot of our original culture from) is completely beyond me. Nowhere did anybody say that feedback should be a one sided activity, here's the original source for your reference:

https://www.slideshare.net/reed2001/culture-1798664/11-11Com...

The "Communication" slide (p.11) even _starts_ with the skill of listening rather than talking well.

We're living an open, candid, two sided feedback culture in our company and it's by far the best thing that has ever happened to my personal development. The impact on my own perception and management style has been tremendous. Maybe I'm biased by being a founder, but on our most recent anonymous employee survey, structured feedback got an average 8/10 on satisfaction.

I take that just like the original ideas of Scrum or Agile, transparent Feedback culture has apparently been bastardized enough by toxic companies living the letter but not the spirit that it's apparently starting to get into a negative perception... that's a pity but won't stop us from giving and getting transparent feedback regularly.

> If you ask women they won't say their bosses were "jerks" or "toxic"

Most women I know do exactly that though if you speak with them in a private setting?

I'll have to take your word for the rest of your opinion, as I don't know your friend nor her colleagues.

I'm a little surprised you expect them to be totally accommodating though. It's a professional setting after all. It's nice if you can create good friendships there, but expecting it is just asking for trouble
They have a youtube channel apparently, I'll have to check it out when I get a chance.

Well, that seems to be the policy solution that Japan picked. In addition to the cultural development of well-intentioned men holding their hands in the air on crowded mass-transit to prove their good intentions, and thus throwing suspicion on men who don't do the same.

Though it's worth noting that mass-transit in Japan is frequently packed so tight that if you don't have your hands up, you're literally touching someone else anyway. Not hard to see how that amplifies the molestation problem significantly in Japan even if other countries (presumably) have the same % of men with a propensity towards such actions.
People want "the cloud" so they don't want to be responsible for things. Is this the same thing?
I think the phrase "warrantless encryption" should be outlawed. What is that even supposed to mean?
If You Use a Doorbell Camera, You Should Have a Sign Saying So
Thats why I said both are optional. You can choose to never upload the footage in the first place.
Media representation? Female lawyers and female doctors are fairly common in media. Female engineers, not so much, and definitely not in a context where the women are not deviating from social norms (you need to be a tomboy, you need to be geeky, you need to be "not like those other girls" etc.)

Representation is important - MLK convinced Nichelle Nichols to stay on Star Trek because she was, at the time, the only black educated woman in a leadership position on television.
I'm not saying that law and medicine are perfect. But they were once just as stereotypically male as tech is now, and yet have radically shifted their gender balance. Fifty years ago people would no doubt have told you that women just weren't interested in becoming lawyers or doctors. Now a majority of attorneys in the US are women, and more women are enrolling in medical school than men.
This is a needlessly hyperbolic comment that illustrates the, at times, silliness of this entire conversation even among technologists. EMV credit cards are essentially off-the-shelf ISO/IEC 7816 smart cards and would not function without encryption. Are you suggesting an encryption outlaw would trickle all the way down to how a credit card functions? Do we stop using Apple/Android Pay, both of which have several protocols in their inherent functionality that require encryption? Online purchases are not the only reason a credit card exists, but your position has widened from the government's debate here on social media/consumer uses to "all private encryption in the whole world," a typical webshit perspective. Banks have regulatory requirements for encryption set by governments in question, so all of the actions you'd take make absolutely zero sense even in the unlikely event of encryption being outlawed. You might as well get Ron Rivest to sign a jersey and burn it on TikTok.

"Outlawing encryption" is getting dangerously close to "coming for your guns," and it's amazing how even this audience doesn't sit down and go -- hm, is that really likely despite appointed officials beating a hobby horse? -- with the same fervor that a single word Mark Zuckerberg says before Congress gets 300 comments of suspicious and objective argument before the thread falls off the front page. To the -4 gray I go! Censure me for my nonconformity!

Food for thought: "the government is in the pocket of special interests, overturn Citizens United" and "the government just might outlaw encryption, donate to EFF" are mutually exclusive positions. Those special interests want and, occasionally, need encryption. So. Maybe think a bit, because one cannot believe both, and I'm wagering many here do.
This was the solution on Macs at least. I know someone that still uses a Mac mini G4 as their daily runner but running the latest Debian. Only way they can get any decent software support.
I would - bedbugs.
Or maybe they were enjoying a game of pictionary.

We don't know enough to form a useful judgement. But, taking your description at face value, it sounds like the employee needs to simply be let go.
TulliusCicero is saying that the 60s and 70s were the period when women entered those fields en masse. Hence you should compare the state of those fields in the 60s/70s to the CS field now if you wanna determine sexism as the cause of entering/not-entering a given field.
I was thinking more like "the truck can legally drive itself until the next fuel stop in about 14 hours time, so I'm going to get some sleep".
Yeah, I'd like to see what statistical theory they are using here. I don't think it's sound. It's unfortunate since I think the article is otherwise quite good.
The comment is wrong. It is about i386.
These are iPads, though.
Yes, I figured I probably wasn't clear enough. I agree with the points in the article but I'm referring to a different situation. For example, the one that kills me every morning is where the 101 S turns into the 134, there are 2 dedicated lanes for the 134 on-ramp (so no zipper merge) but people wait until the last possible minute to force their way into the dedicated lanes and clog both those and the surrounding ones. Similar situation where the 170 S hits the 134.
Sorry if I'm mistaken, but I was answering to the comment by yori[1], and he/she did not request for MS-DOS support.

You are right, T_D only allows archive versions of NYTimes. With that said, they had multiple threads on this with 5-6k upvotes and thousands of comments since Monday. They even had a stickied post for the entire day on Monday as well as Wednesday when Horowitz testified. Their votes are throttled so I would expect the real number to be much higher.
Casual computer users don't buy new computers each year. Pretty sure set top boxes and routers with 32-bit x86 processors have been sold since then, too.
"The project was announced by MSN UK on April 30, 2003, and was widely ridiculed before being declared a hoax by Microsoft on May 12. On May 13, another Microsoft press release stated that although the project had not been a hoax, it had been cancelled because it would do little to promote the MSN brand."

Emotionally, when I hear things like this I think unconsciously I secretly want companies not to give data over ever. And really the companies shouldn't collect it (hackers also exist)..

However rationally I think there is a balance. Investigators need to do their jobs and chase every lead they can to catch criminals. I wonder if google could have complied with a query that simply grabbed the users in the areas during the 3 time periods combined.

Maybe we just need laws that limit how much data can be returned per warrant, to encourage more limited warrants.
Looks more like a Google product.

It's pretty obvious once you stop with ideology and politics.

When STEM is your only shot at a comfortable life - you go STEM if you can, even if you don't want to. When it's not - you pursue your interests instead.
Domain knowledge, while useful is not a necessity - I'm fine with contacting a specific domain expert for help and even pay for his or her services(with my own money at that), though none of the ones I've ever contacted ever wanted anything for the time they spent on a problem I presented them with. To put it as question: do I really need to explain how open source works in theory and practice on a place like hackernews? Especially given that most of the world's infrastructure in practice runs thanks to the collaboration of millions who have built most of what we use in their "spare time" as you call it.

Same applies to DNN's(if not more so) - take any large DNN with the papers, data set and code to the author and ask them to give an explanation as to why it works as well as it does while it performs terribly on a different data set, even a similar one. "Well yeah, it's curve fitting which works here but doesn't work there". Why? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My rant concerns a different problem - if you have such data and you want to share it, just go ahead and do. 1 of every 10000 might do something useful with it but we aren't talking about nuclear experiments where something can blow up, are we? Worst case scenario someone's cpu or gpu might overheat, big deal. Just ditch the entire bureaucracy crap, we have enough of that as it is in our daily lives.
I know it's not a popular opinion, but consider a company analogy. People who leave because they're not competent have a tendency to badmouth the company. I'm not saying all of them do, and all that badmouth were incompetent. But there is a tendency to rationalize and lash out. What if women were calling those environments toxic because they had a hard time doing well in there?

There are absolutely toxic, hermetic, unpleasant environments. But we should at least permit considering the idea that people of different sexes have different abilities. I get sexist comments all the time (men can't distinguish colors, men can't multitask) and there are no white knights riding to my rescue.
I've always wanted to do stuff like that. You sound like you have some experience. What actually happens if you get caught? Will you be arrested?
And now that women can serve in the military, it's time to update the Select Service law so it requires both men _and_ women to register on their 18th birthday.
M1 Finance already has fractional shares too. They're newer than Robinhood but they're built to be more of a long-term investing platform.
