You're making light of my point, but you are underestimating how important that point actually is. Services that don't cost enough are perceived as highly suspect, because there's a widely-held (and not unfounded) belief that anything worth using is worth paying for. You're not just paying for the sunk cost + fractional profit; you're investing in a solution that will stand up to your board of directors wanting something to blame. Think: support contracts, data protection and privacy laws, corporate structure and insurance. The function that this tool purports to do is literally the full time job for a lot of people, so there's no way they can put such an important function on someone's cool side project. It's just not a good business move.
What's "Fries Up"? Does that mean the same location and equipment are used for a 'different' restaurant?
Good time for a reminder that the surveillance state isn't going to come in because anyone has bad intentions. It happens because the technology is dirt cheap and will undoubtedly reduce crime.

The risk is that as the government gains more control it will go rogue and do real damage. Racial, religious and nationalist panics happen from time to time; sooner or later there will be perfect records of who is going to what Church/Mosque/Synagogue/etc that are going to cause a lot of harm.

The debate is going to centre around intentions and the fact that capability is the problem will be ignored. As is customary on issues where it hasn't killed millions of people in this century in this country and the people last century or different countries are different because ... well, something must have changed otherwise all this surveillance would be a concern.
Chris from Kinvolk here.

We're happy to talk about what you need on the security front. Some of the folks working on Flatcar Container Linux have a very strong security background; worked on AWS' EC2 security team, do regular pentesting for distributed systems[1], have reported dozens of security issues to upstream projects packaged in Flatcar Container Linux, including the kernel.

We've just now started breaking away from the upstream project, and updating packages. Addressing any open security issues is front and center in our efforts. If you have concerns we'd love to hear them.

We worked with CoreOS team for years (was our founding project) and they trusted us on the security front. We feel that if you trusted CoreOS and know our team + background, you should have just as much trust in Kinvolk.

Ha! I used to be one of those 90's skiddies. Nights of struggle with SoftICE eventually allowed me to crack some stuff "real time", although i failed to write functioning cracks using it.
It was along this journey however that i arrived at the point where I started to understand how a PC & OS really functions. Unknowingly, SoftICE came to co-direct my life for the better.
wxWidgets is native - it's simply a thin, cross-platform wrapper on the actual UI from the underlying system. No interface controls are reimplemented unless strictly necessary.
Fundamentally it is a different employment model.
The 10k fee is to inspire commitment and weed out non-serious candidates.
After that, the new manager is essentially on commission.

This allows CFA to find people who are ambitious irrespective of current wealth.
Ancient? Ughh. I remember using SoftICE to cheat in games back in the 1990’s. Wonderful software, I wish I would’ve been knowledgeable to do something more useful than making myself invincible in Mortal Kombat or giving my characters super powers in UFO: Enemy Unknown (aka: X-Com outside North America).

This was a great learning tool to understand how programs actually allocate and use memory. Long before I had taken an architecture class and understood big endian and little endian, I had learned all about it by searching for values in memory. From there you could basically deconstruct the C structs used to handle the memory and then write a pretty simple TSR to cheat the heck out of DOS games. If I recall correctly, at least some of the time I was even able to use it to cheat at APCIDoom - which was a specialized launcher for Doom that let you play four player deathmatches through your local multi-line BBS.
> Politics aside, the food is awesome, fast, and polite.

Is it though? I really don't get it. Chick-fil-A's entire menu consists of unremarkable chicken sandwich variations, and unremarkable... everything else. It's just not very good - at least compared to other fast food options. It doesn't stand out to me. I can't figure out why it stands out to so many other people.

I think the push-back against them from LGBTQ activists is really pretty silly. Even still, I know many bleeding hearts who are perfectly aligned with such activists and who regularly patronize Chick-fil-A (but jokingly call it "hate-chicken" or something similar) - but they keep going, and keep spending their money there. Why?!?

The food just isn't special or particularly good.

If it's anything like the large companies I've had experiences with, the company covered the cost of these personal liability insurance policies entirely.

There's more than a little whataboutism there.

Sure, maybe she was a racist. But that doesn't mean that she was wrong about women's rights and sex education.

Edit: I'd love to see the argument why that's untrue.
The only platform that has marked it as legacy doesn't support Vulkan (directly) either so I'm not convinced it's dead yet. The simpler API for the minor performance trade-off is still compelling for lots of uses.
Let's not forget that their mobile app is one of the best "restaurant" apps I've ever used. It's easy to use, informative, and provides real rewards (free food). I even use it while I'm in the actual store (sometimes) to purchase food when the line is super long.
2 tips for code reviews:

1. It's all a give and take. Implementing changes your peers request makes them understand you value their opinion. This can make other interactions easier - e.g. the ones where your standpoint is important to you and you don't want to derive from your opinion/code/design/etc. Save your energy for those discussions, and lean in on proposals for which your passion is lower.

2. If you do not get a common opinion after 2 review comments back of forth go to the person and talk them in person. If you or they are remote, give the a call ("Hey, do you have some time? I would like to know more about your suggestions"). Then everyone can present their standpoint again. Sometimes that already helps, because things get lost in comments. If there is still a disagreement it's still often easier (and definitely faster!) to work out.
I pulled $300 out of the air, but when you look at how expensive SaaS tools like Mixpanel get at scale, it's not even improbable. Welcome to corporate budgets, where the people making the decisions are not spending their own money and one of the top-3 decision dimensions is "will this get me fired?"

It's not my wisdom, but it is frequently cited on here (looking at patio11) that the reason software costs up to $500 or over $10k but very little in-between is that most managers can expense $500 without VP approval; $10k is the minimum realistic price of a product sold via an inside sales process.
His website contains gems like "Things got political in June 2017 when Google deleted "covfefe" out of it's arabic translation dictionary in order to make a Trump tweet become nonsense." (No, covfefe doesn't mean anything in Arabic.)

Here is someone who believes that a private company's open attempts to rank websites by quality amounts to "seditious behaviour" deserving of criminal prosecution, and the only people willing to pay attention were Project Veritas. Google has plenty of ethics issues, but this guy's claims are absurd.
So with my back of the envelope calculation at a 100 billion dollar market cap you would need to invest 3 billion dollars into GE, any less would be considered insignificant. I'm assuming my math is absolutely wrong, as this law seems wildly and completely corrupt.

> 1. The number of javascript dependencies

How about we don't start looking at the /how/ a site is made, when it's already difficult to sort out the /what/ it is.
We only mention 1 competitor on our website and I didn't even want to list them. I only did that so people could understand the query or flow I was discussing, like "competitor alternative" or "competitor vs" type questions for that copy.

A lot of our competitors that are paid ( not all, but the majority ) are way more expensive. Most start at $49 or $99 for largely the same feature set. Again, not all, but most.

For free alternatives like Google Alerts, you are missing things like Sentiment Analysis ( coming soon with us ), missing alerts ( I have had a Google Alerts account for years and I am not getting all the data it should be finding ), there really isn't any kind of reporting ( ours is set to launch very soon ), you can only deliver results as RSS feed or send to 1 email while we allow you to send email results to up to 3 emails ( we also do RSS and Json ), I don't think there is an "export data" option in GA either, etc.

We have a lot more coming out soon. We aren't a fit for everyone, but someone looking to step up from more than what Google Alerts offers as a free product, we would be in the running.

In my mind, a lot of people running Google Alerts as their only source of info tend to be single users or very small agencies. We would like to be able to offers those users and agencies a bit more in feature set that might be useful to them, but still at a nearly free price point that isn't limiting.

We would also like to get some of the bigger agencies to try our product as well and see they can get most of what they are use to, at a lot cheaper price possibly.

While it may be a stretch for the larger agency to come to us now, we would like to get the smaller agencies on board and work our way up to everyone.

Thanks
Qantas Flight 72 uncommanded pitch-down manoeuvres
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qantas_Flight_72

“Angle of attack (AOA) is a critically important flight parameter, and full-authority flight control systems, such as those equipping A330/A340 aircraft, require accurate AOA data to function properly”.

“it was determined that the CPU of the ADIRU corrupted the angle of attack (AOA) data. The exact nature of the corruption was that the ADIRU CPU erroneously re-labelled the altitude data word so that the binary data that represented 37,012 (the altitude at the time of the incident) would represent an angle of attack of 50.625 degrees. The FCPC then processed the erroneously high AOA data, triggering the high-AOA protection mode, which sent a command to the electrical flight control system (EFCS) to pitch the nose down.”
My family recently watched the entire boxed set of 'Quantuum Leap'. The series was consistently, unapologetically progressive. (It had pro-abortion episode, sympathetic gay characters, etc.) One Christmas episode had an evil rich guy who was trying to close down....... the local Salvation Army building.

It is simply amazing how intolerant some people are. Yesterday's progressives are today's horrible bigots in the eyes of some. (Really. Ask Monty Python!)
This was great context, thanks for the explanation!
The rationale for the cameras has been covered before. It appears city leaders were lead to believe the cameras were for energy conservation only:

> In December 2016, San Diego’s Environmental Services Department presented the City Council with a way to bring down its energy costs. General Electric had been looking for a place to test out new sensor-controlled technologies that could brighten or dim lights from afar and collect anonymized data, and a pilot program had been initiated in East Village two years prior. The company was now offering to finance the installation of that technology across the city with a $30 million loan that could be paid back over 13 years through its own energy savings.

https://www.voiceofsandiego.org/topics/public-safety/public-...

Later, law enforcement got its hooks into the new toys:

> Since August, the San Diego Police Department has been accessing the raw video footage with permission from City Hall and using its contents in dozens of criminal investigations, as the U-T reported. Some of that footage could appear at a trial scheduled to begin later this month, according to police.

The notion that law enforcement will somehow be excluded in any way from the video/audio feeds from these devices strains credulity. If history since 2013 has taught us anything, it's that if you give law enforcement an inch of surveillance, they'll take a yard.

On a related note, the idea that these feeds will somehow not end up on some dark market or surveillance capitalism venture business plans is equally ludicrous.

It is. It's very hard, to the point of impossibility, to ensure that not a single one of Facebook's 2.4 billion users will fall into a weird process gap. Other organizations that are smaller by multiple orders of magnitude still regularly fail at it.

Oh man, SoftICE was the shit. It was a bit inconvenient to have to reboot with it enabled, but it allowed you to debug things no other debugger did.

I was equally impressed with OllyDBG later on, it was more convenient (if less powerful but always seemed like amazing software for just one author.
Thanks.

Will keep a free trial in mind or some sort of demo.

Alerts can come as RSS feed or Json that you can ping when you need, or you get a daily email that lists a partial digest of your new results that you can click through to our site to get more data.
Just to reiterate what others have said, because this comes up quite a bit. You should not use CoreOS or Flatcar images as the base for your containers. They are intended to be the host operating system upon which you run the containers. Their key features that make them an awesome host OS for containers (no package manager, for example) make them unsuitable for use as the base image of containers.
Well that happens to be a phone I have too, although the battery is pretty dead so it's hard to use. It's still a pretty powerful phone though, weird that it would have issue rendering the page.

I was able to reproducing freezing and hanging even on my Pixel 3, so I can probably look into it myself. Again, I have to guess the large SVGs are to blame.
I remember hanging out in #cracking4newbies on EFnet a lot. It was pretty toxic if you weren't part of the in-group, but I learnt a lot.
Or that a human working for FB can make a mistake and put someone else "in jail".

No, thought the dev team, this mistake would never happen, the only way to "get out of jail" is to show us your release papers!

It's pervasive, isn't it. Babies or seniors being checked by TSA because the machine beeped, so they might be a terrorist. What I realized once was, the TSA agent doesn't want or isn't allowed to think and make decisions, because making decisions mean being responsible for those decisions...

Ask HN: What are the best books for learning Agile?
Academia is generally abusive, regardless of whether you are male or female.
From the headline I thought you were referring to Google Cloud servers and services.

Whether you like it or not, Google search, AdWords, etc do capture a huge segment of the potential marketplace. Focusing on quality and relevance instead of trying to game SEO might mitigate some of the extreme swings.

Establishing a strong presence on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and even here on HN, etc, might reduce your reliance on the GoogleSphere. Have to wonder whether Bing and other lesser used search services might also be of value. Have never looked into those.

Can't help noticing the amount of advertising that some web sites invest in "traditional media". They probably only do it because it works for them.
Unfortunately this only works with a small set of workers, in a physical location. If you have 500+ employees, some remote, spanning different countries/cultures, it's not easy to tell how "company morale" is. You can try to send out anonymous surveys and such, but then you run into reporting bias, etc. It's a complicated problem at scale.
Nah - unbreakable encryption is actually possible with one time pads.

The only way SEO could be impossible is if there was no capacity to change search ranking no matter what - which would be both useless and impossible.
> In a political context, "credible" is often a synonym for "agrees with me".

Microsoft was also first to the table with DHTML, or what we now call DOM manipulation.

The combination of DOM manipulation and asynchronous HTTP was like crack for developers, and resulted in an explosion of IE only business apps, which caused IT departments to become IE-only, which led to a feedback effect.

All the crappy IE-only back-end systems that still fester in enterprises today hark back to those days.
> think Russia would annex a Baltic state

Baltics and Crimea are not comparable.
- Crimea has Russia's only warm water port and would never be given up
- Russia already has Baltic access (Kaliningrad and StPetersburg)
- Crimea has been majority ethnic Russian for centuries and welcomes Russia
- Baltics hate Russia

In summary, there is absolutely no logical reason Russia would annex Baltic state.

However, there are plenty reasons why non-Russian interests always repeat this narrative.
As someone who loves the indiweb and all the self-hosted-cloud deploying techniques, I would just run my own helpdesk/CRM if I had the urge to get money by advertising whitespace on my website.

This is interesting, from his wikipedia page [1] :

> After the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, Yoshimura's nonfiction chronicle of three previous tsunamis on the coast of Sanriku, Sanriku Kaigan Otsunami received an influx of orders, requiring a reprint of 150,000 copies. Yoshimura's wife and author in her own right, Setsuko Tsumura donated the royalties from the book to the village of Tanohata, which was heavily impacted by the tsunami. Tanohata was a favorite place of Yoshimura's to visit and inspired him to begin research on the historical tsunamis of the area.

Thank you for the recommendation.

Bad Boy of Music by George Anthiel. You know how Hedy Lamarr invented spread spectrum radio in the 1940s? George Anthiel was the avant-garde composer she did it with. This is an amazing book, full of incredible stories but very hard to find.

Two wrongs don't make a right – but more importantly, Project Veritas deliberately uses lies and deception to obtain its footage, which it then edits to remove context. That crosses a line far beyond run-of-the-mill reporting bias.
No, the transitions occur even without turbo. In fact, the chip I tested on has no turbo at all, just 3.2 GHz nominal speed.

Also, disabling turbo would probably be a massive over-reaction, unless you really care out about 99.9th latency or something: the impact of these transitions is small (at worst a few %), while the benefit of turbo is large: 10s of %.
Dysregulation of Hypothalamic Gene Expression by Soybean Oil in Mice
I disagree because intentions and capabilities both play a part, often to different degrees from different parties, and duplicity in both are often hidden, and therefore saying it's just because tech is cheap is a very superficial analysis of the issue at hand. To me that just seems like an easily planned plausible deniability strategy by those involved. Of course hyperfocusing on one isn't the right way, but neither is going the other directional extreme.

One of the biggest problems with issues like this is that there would be a mixture of logical methods used to draw conclusions and lots of people forget the difference between inductive and deductive logic. (Intentions being more inductive and capabilities being more deductive)
Obfuscating your IP doesn't solve the problem. If a malicious actor knew someone's info (such as address), they could give them an ipfs link with CP and report them.
How do chains know where to open new locations? You’d think they’d get it wrong a lot and you’d see a bunch opening and then closing down.

But as far as I know it doesn’t seem to happen? Can you really predict what will be profitable that accurately?
That depends on the market where you are, I suppose. My home ISP offers static addresses as an add-on for a cost comparable to a cheap VPS. With my last ISP there was no static address offer, but the address was the same for years. You can use dyndns-like services for the worst case, then.
Same in Canada... It just does not work well.

There is a similar approach for a modern age - use the hypervisor for the debugger agent. The application called HDBG[1]. It was never production-ready though, so not so famous. Another similar application is PulseDBG[2]. It's not exactly like SoftICE, but allows you to observe the execution process locally[3], which is sometimes enough.

They are getting slammed hard by the powerful people and corporations that they have been exposing. Wikipedia edit wars often do not converge on the truth.

Project Veritas is highly reliable. The worst you could legitimately accuse them of is a bit of overexcited promotion when an upcoming video is mundane. They are more trustworthy than all of the big-budget news programs.

I think it lends to their success. First there is a bit of a lack of supply feeling. I think it drives people to go because it’s closed on Sundays, even if those same people had no real intention to go on Sunday. People are weird like that.

I also think every Sunday off helps them find and retain better workers.
