Intel now runs bug bounty program with up to $100k payouts (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/bug-...), where one of the requirements is not to leak vulnerability details.
The article spreads a conspiracy theory that serves as a strange defense of Korey's actions as CEO of Away (Daring Fireball's sponsor).

> What I think happened is that once Jen Rubio and the board — who were already plotting Korey’s ouster — became aware of the story, and the all-in-on-outrage-culture/startups-are-toxic angle it was taking, they simply let it happen without pushing back whatsoever. No vast conspiracy necessary — just let it happen.
Sorry, to be clear, that was by no means a criticism of what you did. I was just pointing out that this kind of thing is more accessible to people than they may think when they get sticker shock re: the cost of that particular FPGA you built on.
Wages have not been stagnant across all sectors of the economy. Certainly some jobs aren't valued as much, and their value hasn't been growing or even keeping pace, but there are plenty of areas where wages have been increasing quite a lot over the last couple decades. Given that this is generally a tech-focused forum, that shouldn't be news to anyone here ;)
I wonder if it would be more accurate to say that linux uses use linux because it comes with a set of beliefs (GNU, free software) that match their own: they see linux as reflecting their own beliefs rather than identifying with linux because of some attribute or experience in using it.
Believe it or not, there actually exist websites that rely on the Referer header for navigation. The last time I bumped into this was a few years ago, but a local government site refused to work unless my browser sent that header.

Granted, this is probably rare enough that it's safe to disable the header for the vast majority of websites, but it's something to keep in mind.
Yep. There's a difference between my example and proper fire exits. I didn't capture that in my original post, but I fully agree. Unfortunately the power to regulate these things has been abused to keep the poor out of housing permanently.
If $5k is worth the risk of losing their job, they're not making much money at Facebook, nor think there's potential for much growth in the role. Losing that job isn't going to be a big deal for them, and the article doesn't suggest any legal action may be taken against them.

It's another argument, but I think it's on Facebook entirely that they don't pay their employees enough, keep them happy enough, to prevent this sort of thing from happening. When you leave content moderation to your lowest paid employees, you are only encouraging people to figure out how to game the system for more.
Tuition is only about half the cost of attendance at most state schools. Room and board, books, living expenses. I would expect the total price tag to be at least $25,000/yr at a school like your example.
Government loans for college could very well cause the next recession. https://www.npr.org/2019/12/09/785527874/student-loans-a-lot...

The economic effects will be more indirect than the last one. Folks will delay homebuying, they will have fewer children later in life. Schools and Colleges will be competing for fewer people. Many small liberal arts colleges will close.
> This is one of those times when from a practical perspective proprietary seems to win.

I'm not sure about that, but I must say that Intel is being surprisingly candid. Similar errata have been swept under a rug and published a dozen at a time with no workarounds for years.
I don't subscribe to the idea that you can steal something which is non-rivalrous and non-excludable.

To steal is "to take illegally, or without the owner's permission, something owned by someone else" - can't really take the bits from NYT - after someone reads their article without paying them NYT has no less bits than they had before.
> Fortunately, San Francisco has many excellent public and private schools.

San Francisco public schools are awful.

https://californiapolicycenter.org/san-francisco-unified-dri...

>No issue has been more contentious in recent years than how the SFUSD has handled the new Common Core mathematics curriculum. Algebra has been taught in middle school for ages, but because so many San Francisco middle schoolers have done so poorly at it, it is not even taught until high school anymore. Parents whose children didn’t do well with Algebra are OK with postponing it until the 9th grade, but for families eyeing college and looking ahead, this is a complete disaster.

> One parent who toured a government school for her 4-year old who could already read was told that she could tutor other students still learning to read; she ended up in a private school because her mother felt there would be very little challenge for her with so few children at her level.

> when she toured another government school and asked about challenging her daughter with math, the teacher looked down her nose superiorly and informed her that it was wrong to give any child any opportunity all children didn’t receive and she would never let any kid do more advanced work than the others.

> On the most recent round of tests, 87% of San Francisco Unified’s black students performed below standards in math, as did 79% of Latino students and 78% of Pacific Islanders. Ninety-six percent of districts in California that serve black students had better reading scores for low-income black students than San Francisco did, Innovate found.
full-time faculty is a talking point, part time instructors make up a larger share of total instruction. Anyway, faculty want to defend their salaries which is why it’s coached in those terms.

Reusing numbers from another post. 12.1 million US students in 1980 vs 21.2 million in 2010 and their instructors increased “11,614 to 12,019 between 1975 and 2008” sure that’s the full story.

PS: I can’t find C.S.U numbers but I expect your going to find similar or larger growth in student populations due to California’s higher than average population growth.
Ya think? If you read the NYT in the 70's and 80's like I did - and then compare it to today's - then you'd realize how hard I'm laughing right now.

You reflecting their approach (i.e.,unable to be objective) is nothing short of vindication (for me).
Information wants to be free. If you don't believe me, just head over to your favorite mirror of libgen and see what you can find there.

I thank Aaron Swartz and his co-conspirators every time I download something from one of those sites. I could always walk over to a nearby university and use their public wifi to download much of this material through more "legitimate" channels ... but have to admit that it wouldn't provide the same thrill as just stealing it.

It's also comforting to know that no girls (as young as 10-years of age) had to be sexually exploited by a monster like Jeffrey Epstein in order to cover my subscription to these materials (Epstein allegedly donated millions to universities like MIT ... much of which they deliberately tried to cover up until exposed by a courageous whistle-blower in the Media Lab).

Ironic that this was the same squeaky clean institution that handed a "criminal trespasser" like Swartz over to the Feds so that they could spank his ass hard, ain't it?
considering the abuses recently revealed with the investigation into the FBI when it comes to FISA warrants how do we trust any intelligence or law enforcement agency in this country.

worse, sycophants in the press are basically white washing the FBI abuse instead of highlighting it. the ACLU pointed out the abuses but only of course how they impact a very select group.

the fact we need to encrypt from our own government should people a hint that all sides are bad, not just one you don't like.

I'll never claim that taking the ethical choice will ensure that others won't choose unethically. But "everyone else is doing it" is not an excuse for unethical behavior.

Suggesting that ethics are good for nothing in this case because of that is... well, even more disappointingly cynical than I'm willing to go.
> This is why the Uncanny Valley exists, "Uncanny Valley" being a term that refers to the difference between nature and the model itself

That is incorrect. From the Wikipedia page you references:

as the appearance of a robot is made more human, some observers' emotional response to the robot becomes increasingly positive and empathetic, until it reaches a point beyond which the response quickly becomes strong revulsion. However, as the robot's appearance continues to become less distinguishable from a human being, the emotional response becomes positive once again and approaches human-to-human empathy levels

> The thing about AI/CV and other interpretation simulators is that there is always a quantization of nature in the end result.

That's just not true in any meaningful sense. Computer vision can process images with a higher resolution than the human eye can distinguish.

> So, "construct an internal 3D model of [something in the natural world]" will always be deficient, and any conclusions derived from these models will always have inherent errors

Humans do this too (hence optical illusions). There's no reason to think that machine models can't surpass human models (and in some domains they already do).

All models are wrong, but some are useful.

No one who needs a machine that supports 1.5TB of ram is going to buy one that comes with only 32GB. Same for CPU. Charging someone for support for the high end, even if they only use the low end doesn't seem to make sense.

If it is actually an issue of unit cost, sell a lower-end base. If it is to recoup development costs, find a way to price discriminate.

Otherwise, you are charging low end users for functionaility that they will literally never use.
Actually, as you probably already know, there's a third notation that is commonly used for chords, like these things - https://duckduckgo.com/?q=chord+box&iax=images&ia=images

I've been to places with more and less regulation. I've noticed that while California is significantly more regulated than Kansas, I'm much more likely to see a "quirky", "fun", or "exotic" domicile in the former than the latter. The government has a much greater capacity to hinder than promote legislatively; we have seen a hindrance of normal housing and a promotion of very little in its place.
There are some with replaceable batteries now. In practice the batteries only last about 6 months though, in my experience.

In our environment, we update way more frequently for security updates of dependencies than we do for application updates. These are usually updates to base images.

A couple of gigs is not bad one time. But it's multiplicative, even without updating our application at all, we're transferring: [avg size] * [# of images] * [# of security updates] * [# of nodes]

Given that we are usually able to get small images just by using slim base images, it's a no-brainier for us. No, we don't pull our hair out trying to save a meg, but we're not inheriting Ubuntu as a base image for a 1MB microservice.

By using slimmer images we have fewer security updates to apply as well. Since we usually give security updates some human attention, that's fewer man-hours we have to spend on this too, which is way more expensive than bandwidth.
They do have a finite life, but it's about a year. There are tiles with replaceable batteries (finally) but they're a bit thicker. I usually buy packs when they go on sale.
> The paper in no way attempts to generalize the US other than that large companies typically track the sorts of data which would make similar studies possible.

In the section 3.1 Institutional Context, the paper explicitly compares the bank and the country to firms in the United States and the United States respectively over a handful of values. There's no explanation given for why the United States specifically was compared against nor is rationale given for the selection or exclusion of points of comparison. A reader has to conclude that they felt these were the relevant points of comparison because these were the things likely to affect their results.

This necessarily implies generalization. Any other interpretation can only make sense if we disbelieve their results or find their comparison criteria between firms and countries lacking.

Any plans for VR support?
It was easier to learn, shell integration with Windows existed (TortiseHg), help files were more gentle to newbies. Ultimately, I realize that Git "won" more because of Github than any specifically outstanding merits that Git itself had; if BitBucket had delivered what GitHub did in Hg before GitHub, I think we would all be Hg users right now.
I bet a lot of us got our start doing low-level programming for the Z80. I remember learning to program assembly from the manual for a TI calculator. I'm pretty sure those things are still ubiquitous. It's probably the easiest way to learn assembly programming on real hardware anymore.
I absolutely agree that destroying someone's reputation is a ridiculous escalation from the original comment, but 1) the guy's reputation hasn't been destroyed at all (regardless of whether or not that was Musk's intent), and 2) either way, that still doesn't seem like a matter for the courts.

I guess I'm also just so sick of the heavily litigious nature of our society that I have a visceral negative reaction to something like "you were mean to me on the internet so I'm going to sue you for $RIDICULOUS_SUM".
Those are much better examples that the electrical outlet in the garage.
By "break the ad industry" I don't think they meant "make it so you can't inform others that you have a product that you are selling".

Now, the following hypothetical is a rather stupid hypothetical, but imagine if the government made it so that, as part of jury duty, you had to select a couple categories of product, and be presented with a random selection of around 5 descriptions of products in each of those categories (companies could bid to have their product listed I guess) ( the descriptions would have to be straightforward descriptions of the product and optionally some of the ways in which it is demonstrably different from competition),
and also, at the same time, banned banner ads on websites.

This would be stupid and tyrannical, yes, but it seems to me like it would "break the ad industry" while also not really "doing away with capitalism".

To be very very clear : I do not advocate implementing the policy that I just described; I think it would be a very bad policy.

Actually this story did make me think about an even older article about Google [0]: in 2010, when a site reliability engineer was fired after allegedly spying on teens' Google accounts. At the time, it really underscored to me how much power – and potential to abuse it – that insider employees have. Particularly site reliability and security engineers, who inherently need to have this kind of power and access do do their jobs:

> "If you're an SRE, for instance, on Gmail, you will have access to mailboxes because you may have to look into the databases," the former Google SRE—who did not work with Barksdale—explained to us by phone. "You'll need access to the storage mechanisms," he explained, pointing out that in order to determine the cause of a technical issue with Gmail, an SRE might have to access emails stored on Google's servers to see if data is corrupted.

I'm assuming in the years since, Google's SRE have mechanisms in place to audit and log the use of sudo-level access and powers. Twitter, on the other hand, seems to not have implemented this, at least as of 2015 [0]

I can imagine FB having decent auditing and logging when it comes to internal access of private data of user accounts. But not when it comes to ad accounts, considering the level of scammy activity these ad accounts had when BuzzFeed News reported on them [2]

Ask HN: I have nothing to do at work and it's killing me
I started as a temp and I'm told I'm being hired as a "full-time temp" which is not only an oxymoron, but it is simply ironic, since I already work full-time (40hrs/week). I was assigned some work "to keep me busy for 2-3 months" that I finished in about 6 hours.

I'm really running out of patience with this whole thing. I'm being paid $25/hr to sit around and look busy. I ask my manager for work, he says things will pick up after Christmas. The other day I was too depressed about this situation and slept in, and showed up at 1pm. No one batted an eyelid or said anything. There wasn't a single email addressed to me, I had no calendar invites, no nothing, so why should I even be here? What do I do with my time? Well, I am trying to teach myself a bit of Ruby on Rails in AWS, do some freecodecamp (I desperately want to learn to code, under the impression that it will liberate me from this, but it might just be a pipe dream).

My manager told me that a coworker would like my help with "business continuity forms" (this is healthcare IT, so this is a thing). I've approached her and reminded her that I'm happy to help whenever she wants but she just grumbles about not being able to find someone to walk me through the EpicCare web app things.

So I am really losing my motivation to keep learning important things, and find myself drifting over to Reddit memes. I spend about 3-4 hours a day on this site and the rest of the time trying to teach myself computer science stuff. But it is extremely demoralizing doing this alone and "secretly" while waiting for something to happen.

I would look for a new job but frankly, I don't even know if this experience is transferable anywhere else. I get declined for internal job postings, so I think I just need to turn my 6 months' experience into a year to appease HR. Please advise.
