I don't understand what you mean by "causal" in this context. A.f(B) is just a syntax sugar around f(A, B) unless dynamic dispatch comes into play. Then it's usually syntax sugar around something like:

A._vtable[f](A, B)

It really is just a function of two arguments, even when the privileged first argument looks like it's outside of the parens.
OK. I was thinking more of a Newtons apple moment in space, where someone with a syringe and fluid may make an elegant observation on blow-up or collapse.

Eddys in a river with more eddys creating eddys is a dizzying theory though.
I think in part Zuckerberg thinks of his own personal success this way. In his mind, he did well because He was Him, and right all the time.

A more humble view might include that he was raised in relative privilege, a lot of doors were open to him, and there was a lot of good luck involved.

Yeah, this made my whole browser lag (buttons-shading-five-seconds-after-hover-level lag).

FireFox Quantum on Windows 10 with a pretty badass CPU. Also slow in Opera. Also slow in Vivaldi.

And it crashed Chrome Canary.

For a web-tech post, this is pretty fucking bad.
The proliferation of binding arbitration provisions in contracts of adhesion puts a dent in that, sadly.
That's called a 'starburst' and it happens in human eyes for all sorts of reasons. It's possible naturally and also as a LASIK complication, for instance.

Look for 'starburst' here https://visionsimulations.com/ Sadly the simulation site is down because of the new Cross-Origin restrictions on images in canvases but perhaps you can see what it looks like in the preview images on the main page and if you google 'starburst vision'.
You're missing the point. The data that makes it look concerning comes from areas that have other problems that actually cause those data points. The fault is not the hardware, it's all the other issues those places have.
Laywers get 20% of the restitution costs, on top of the restitution costs.

If the courts deem that the resulting costs to the defendant are too low, additional amounts may be levied and given to relevant charities, or the ACLU (or things like it).

If the company would collapse due to the costs, or otherwise would be unable to pay the full costs, executive bonuses (and potentially some pay, with limits) may be reclaimed, both towards allowing payment, and preventing failure in "too big to fail" situations.

I miss anything?

People get restitution. Lawyers get rewarded for quality work. Companies both pay damages, and a penalty on top of damages. Executives bear responsibility as people, not just the corporate entity.

To my personal taste, the bubbles in photos of your link 1 is very distracting.
Maybe don’t shit up your website with a bunch of the modern “necessities” and it’ll be cheaper to host.
Thank you for your advice! I'll likely end up using some of these - although I think vTPM is a little beyond me!
Sorry, I was apparently producing a development build. I'm used to create-react-app, which eliminates this exact scenario by always building in production mode, so that people can't accidentally ship a development build to production.
Nothing malicious in this RDRAND output btw if you use through /dev/urandom or getrandom

People were initially scared about it cancelling other entropy sources, which still hasn’t been proven.
I'm sure Pornin can speak for himself better than I can, but it seems like this response might not so much engage with the substance of his argument than with a simplified subset of it.

It's not, so far as I can tell, Pornin's claim that RNG design is mooted by RDRAND. I would be surprised to see Pornin argue for a system design that replaced a standard RNG design, with some kind of secret-unpredictable-event secure seed, with calls to RDRAND.

But your argument that it's sensible to be cautious about RDRAND because of Dual EC might itself be misleading. Dual EC is a complete design for a CSPRNG. RDRAND is a component of a CSPRNG. In every proposed system I've seen that uses RDRAND, RDRAND is one of several secret inputs to the RNG. I've never seen a design that chains Dual EC; it was surprising to see Dual EC even used, anywhere, because it is so comically expensive. Most of the BULLRUN revelations (and the subsequent Juniper fiasco) weren't new discoveries about Dual EC, but rather the discovery of systems not thought to be relying on Dual EC that were.

Even Bernstein doesn't really argue that RDRAND hurts security in the design context you're talking about; for the same reason that you say cloud users should trust virtio, a "snooping" RDRAND is simply out of the threat model.

But of course, RDRAND isn't really the point. Clearly Pornin doesn't think that haveged makes sense in systems without RDRAND. So what are you really saying here? That he's not charitable enough about the historical context you were working in?
This is a super interesting result. As others have pointed out, two sided die have been tried in the past but it was expensive and the backside components could not be very interesting because you are limited in what you can do (for example ion implantation can shoot through the place you're trying to hit and damage the component on the 'other' side, not a problem when you are laying down the first set of devices on raw silicon, a big problem if you've got structures underneath you need to protect).

Whereas just doing power delivery on the back side is much simpler proposition and you could likely make simple transistors to give you the ability to switch more fine grained power domains on and off for even better power and heat management.
Yes, it records all syscall return values, so the replay doesn't actually need to perform them. This means that IO (GUIs, network accesses, etc.) shouldn't happen on replay, in general. (The replay does show stdout/stderr data, so perhaps those are special-cased?)
You mean like the Zappos settlement where the restitution for the victims of the data breach was a 10% off coupon to Zappos?

Which also lets them spam all their old customers who do not otherwise receive promotional emails from them.
What I find especially bothersome is that their resolution has, in practice, only cost their victims more.

Because the time needed to fill out that form and provide the documents will have been worth more than the payout, if one ever comes, for just about anyone who bothered to do it.

Not at all satisfactory.

Equifax has made more money after the hack now that they are selling their credit monitoring as a service.

I went to their website trying to figure out how to lock my credit report (which US govt mandated be a free thing to do) only to learn that in order to use the "free" option you have to go through hours of phone trees, or write in snail mail.

If you want the ability to lock the report online or via an app, you have to pay ~$20/mo to Equifax. Total BS, and of course I wouldn't put it past this company to make money off their own data leak.

"nothing" is probably too strong
We definitely looked at MobX and Vue as we were designing the final user facing API! The implementation under the hood is pretty significantly different, ours is not based on pub/sub or observables/streams, it’s based on a pull-based mechanism which we’ve found to be much more efficient at propagating changes in UI driven apps. But the end result is definitely similar, and we learned a lot from their implementations
Infix operators are out of scope of my comment. I am only referring to method invocation syntax itself, x.a(y, z).b(v), being infix.
I apologize. Obvious sarcasm blew right over my head and I need to hurry up and stop pretending. I feel like my effective IQ right now is between 90 and 100 at best. The supposed reasons for that are all wrapped up in Facebook drama (minus Facebook) and totally off-topic.

I think that we do partly agree on a thing. The way so many are-- as I like to put it-- running massive marketing campaigns to define and redefine "acceptable" and "unacceptable" is pretty horrible. We probably don't agree on which definitions should stick or fall away, but that's off topic, too.

"Is that an accident" was not entirely meant to be the accusing rhetorical question that it seems like now. It's also, what's your angle? And you answered that.

I don't have a Twitter account, so I browse it by going to mobile.twitter.com, which allows me to view tweets and replies. I assume this is an oversight by Twitter, and it will be locked down at some time, but it serves me for now.

Similarly, I only ever browse reddit by going to old.reddit.com. I don't expect that to be supported for much longer either.
FWIW I have a $150 crap phone and the mobile version, while looking a little scruffy, loaded in 3 seconds and scrolled fast to the bottom no problem.
Coming from other frameworks the Octane approach definitely seems more familiar. I am looking forward to my first Ember app :).
Already done.[1] Literally took me 10x longer to log into HN to comment than it took me to verify my vague memory of this event.

In addition to the SEC litigation into the executives, Equifax did a company-wide investigation and found that one of the developers for that breach notification website (the one that provided tons of false positive and false negatives and was spoofed by a security researcher) traded using his SO's equities trading account before the breach was revealed. The company found him and he has also been prosecuted[2].

You got that right.

We got a lot of inspiration from the React ecosystem, both in terms of component design (the root element is just another element) and composition.

Those changes played out differently in the context of Ember, because of the way our APIs work, but the core ideas are sound, and I'm happy that the React community paved the way.
Verifying sources has always been important. I recently learned about Stanislov Petrov - he helped prevent a nuclear war in 1983 by ignoring a false alarm reported by Russia's early warning system [0]. The system reported that the USA launched up to six missiles. Fortunately, Russia's stance was that nuclear retaliation requires multiple sources to confirm an attack. Stanislov went against his orders, and declared the attack a false alarm.

As was true before the internet, we need to make sure we have reliable sources to trust the news.

It used to cost a heck of a lot of money to host a website. At one point I was responsible for sendmail.org, which was a pretty popular site for the time (2000/2001). Especially when we had a new release and got "slashdotted".

To build a site that could stand up to that kind of traffic, we had to pay Dell $10,000 for a beefy enough box, and then host that 5U monster in a cabinet in a datacenter. That kind of datacenter space cost about $500/mo.

So accounting for inflation, that was about $700/mo for the datacenter space (assuming I had use of the remaining 37U that I was paying for), as well as an initial investment in hardware of about $15,000 in today's dollars.

This was a static website.

To run that same site today to handle an equivalent burst of traffic, I could run it on AWS for about $15/mo and have much better reliability, or on a $5/mo VPS and have the same reliability as I had in 2001.

All with no upfront investment nor the need to rent a bunch of cabinet space I may or may not use.
On the other hand, if you make reintegration to society impossible, and eventually release prisoners... you know the outcome you're going to get.

Plenty of societies appear to do much better than the US at preventing recidivism and reforming criminals to productive members of society.

That idea has been proposed before, and we even looked into it. The problem is that on-die DC-DC converter efficiency and current per mm2 is generally way too low. Converters using inductors do better but getting high Q inductors on a chip at low area is difficult.
Against the use of double binds. To me they are an indicator of hostile intent, although as demonstrated here and in the practice of law, adversarial interactions can be constructive. This abstraction is incredibly beautiful, but typical examples are not necessarily nice.
Hope it is not dead. I still haven't taken the time to learn it yet.
Just for anyone reading, 100kb is the max you want for initial load if targeting mode. This means that Ember is a bad choice for most web apps today. React isn't a great choice either because the lack of features and relative large size means you have to add more stuff and quickly get large builds.
Yup. It’s rare for senior executive to not preschedule stock sales.

+1 on this one: well built, optimized for small signal reception (TV dongles are not) therefore lower noise etc. bias tee for active antennas, metal case. Still at a good price. I have two of them and never regretted the purchase.
One day I'l probably get a HackRF or something similar, although I'm still good with the rtl-sdr.com dongles. If they made a small one with enclosed upconverter to be put in my laptop bag to be carried when I take a trip in the mountains I'd get one immediately. I've tried one of those no-name Chinese little boxes with HF and V-U inputs but performance is inferior compared to the above dongle.
I’ve noticed sites putting up a fake notification modal first, and then triggering the real browser pop up only if you click yes. I believe this is so they can ask you again on your next visit if you say no, which you can’t do if you deny the browser pop up.
The majority of the money is set aside for victims who can show specific damages. A relatively small portion was set aside for the vast majority of the victims who's information was leaked but not actually used to cause them any specific harm.

Candy Japan 2019 Year in Review
Equifax muddies the water here with “lock” vs “freeze” terminology on their web site. One costs money and one is free. The free is the mandated government version, which is a lock but I think they call it a freeze and can be done online. I’ve done it recently. It’s a really deceptive and dark pattern as they try and steer you Towards their paid version.

He succeeded.
Off the top of my head, I'd have no issue with this. Sounds great, particularly in how it would expand the ways we could hold executives personally responsible.

The request I would make is, "can we build a real, working version of the system you propose before we get rid of the existing one?" I'm not eager to throw away what we have on the promise that we could build something great afterwards.

The annoyance I feel when I read articles like this is that it's a bunch of reporters saying, "we need to do something about lawyers", and I just feel like -- if I'm in a leaky lifeboat, don't tell me to jump out of it until you have another boat next to me that I can climb into. We all know the lifeboat has leaks, but this lifeboat is real, and yours is (at least for now) imaginary.
Would seeing an angry Bezos count as "material information"? There are all sorts of secenarios where Jeff could be angry with a person - when did it become material?
Agreed. If you are just trying to explain what division of labor is, then you can explicitly label your example as fiction. If you are trying to provide evidence as to how much good it does (and the benefits of division of labor are controversial, to this day), you need to be using examples (and numbers) that are true.
You can thank OneSignal (YC '11) for that.
I wish the Excel developers would bring some of the UI in line with other apps.

The #1 thing here is the lack of smooth scrolling, scrolling by row actually gives me motion sickness whenever I use Excel (and that's not a problem I have with anything else I use).

You can find a legion of people begging for at least a setting to end snapping to rows here: https://excel.uservoice.com/forums/304921-excel-for-windows-...

If anyone from MS is reading this, this seems like such a tiny change but it would really make a lot of people happy. In the meantime, could anyone recommend a smooth scrolling spreadsheet program? I haven't used the alternatives too much.
Andrew Yang should campaign on making Equifax pay for data pollution. In fact, every one of these "data breaches" should be treated like the BP Oil spill. If these companies can't be held accountable for protecting our data then they shouldn't be allowed to collect it in the first place.

If it cost them as much to clean up each spill as it cost BP, you better believe they would take better care not to let it happen again.
Genuine question, do normal people pronounce ARM as "Arm" (like the limb) as in /ɑːrm/ or /ɑːm/, or do they pronounce it like A.R.M as in each letter individually.

I've always said ARM (as in each individual letter) when talking about ARM processors and it's never even occured to me to pronounce it like Arm.

That being said... I do pronounce RISCV as /rɪsk-viː/ (or, as I believe was the intention rɪsk-faiv depending who I am talking to) and that seemed entirely normal as opposed to pronouncing each letter in the Acronym...

So maybe I'm just weird here...
The mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics is (believed to be) central in the network of facts about quantum mechanics, if we draw an edge between two facts when one helps you understand another. Therefore, it makes more sense to learn the formalism first and use it to help you understand the data, predictions and interpretations, rather than the reverse.

> I taught many hundreds of students quite a variety of courses ranging from 'Finite Math', entry level algebra, all the way up to honors calc and linear algebra. Unique among all the courses, 'Finite Math' was so entirely abstract I, the math grad student, could not understand the point of the exercises.

Yup. The stuff we teach in trig and precalc provides some preparation for calculus, but it seems pretty broken.

Even early calc instruction tends to be broken-- we make things complicated over various historical analytic crises, but then we take enough shortcuts in explanation that we still need to relearn half of everything when we take an actual analysis class.

I have a 5th grader who's taking Algebra I now and will rapidly run out of math classes he can take while in middle school. I'm hoping I can find him a better path for preparation for calc.
