When there is an issue with a clear bug report that can be fixed in on of two lines and the solution is very clear, I like to answer something like:

"Thanks for the report! The problem is in link-to-file-in-GitHub. Do you want to send a PR to fix it? If not, we can fix it."

Sometimes they accept the proposal, sometimes not. It is a little more work to fetch the change, rebase, and merge it. But some people like the opportunity and perhaps may become a contributor in the future.

(If they don't accept, fix the problem soon and say thanks again with a link to the fix in case they want to see the change.)
Oh dearie me. Hadn't seen one of those before. That over muscled slab fronted steroid abuser is not a patch on a DB5. Or 6. Or even a mid 70s Vantage. It doesn't look deserving of an Aston badge.

Actually, that's a really odd car. I looked around for more pictures ... it looks fine looking head on toward the front, as does a perfect side view. Every other angle looks oh so wrong. I have no idea how they achieved that! :)

Imprisoning CTOs for incompetence would be unprecedented. We don't imprison people for that reason and I can't imagine any knowledgeable CTO ever taking that position again once that precedent was set.

But we do need much more oversight and serious punishment for companies that lose data like this.
Edit: It'd be really useful if someone could say where I've gone wrong here. Just sayin', y'all.

This is very confusing.

> “Due to end-to-end encryption employed by WhatsApp, it is impossible to decrypt the contents of the downloader to determine if it contained any malicious code in addition to the delivered video,” the investigators found.

That's a pretty standard malware trick, right? It decrypts itself when it executes. So why can't they execute it in a test environment?

> “During the initial attempt to collect a forensic image of the iPhone, FTI determined that the device had iTunes backup encryption enabled, and that full analysis of the contents of the forensic image would require the encryption password,” the report states.

Well, then. Why didn't they get it?

Too great a threat to Bezos' privacy, I guess.

> They apparently never obtained the password, however, because the report states that on May 20, 2019, the investigators “tested options for bypassing the iTunes backup encryption password” and ended up resetting “All Settings” on Bezos’ iPhone X to restore the device’s settings to factory defaults, thereby “removing the encryption password while preserving the file system and any relevant data and artifacts. FTI received authorization to perform this resetting step, did so, and then commenced acquisition of an unencrypted Cellebrite forensic image.”

That is totally bizarre. I mean, isn't that almost evidence destruction? You might to that to a clone, but not to the actual device.

But then, I'm just a punter.
I think mathematicians favour abstractions more then programmers, opposite as to what the OP suggests

Its like when you're coding this solution in haskell and start to wonder if the GHC is going to optimize all the intermediary data structures with it's di-forestation algorithms as apposed to doing it in a imperative language and including an assembly file with the floating point routines implemented using SSE instruction.
Because the limit to growth is the derivative of the available volume. If the volume grows as r^3 then the available growth rate is r^2.

But this really is a minor detail. Our current economic models (and in particular our assessments of the risk of debt default) assume long-term growth of k^r for some k>1. That is not sustainable under any circumstances.

Hey HN! Wanted to introduce you to Evera! We are the at home stem cell banking startup out of Harvard. Through just a simple urine sample, we allow you to preserve your youngest cells for future therapies!

It's known that over time, your stem cells (iPSCs) accumulate more damaging mutations with age (https://www.nature.com/articles/nbt.3749). However, seeing how all legacy methods of stem cell extraction were incredibly invasive (ex: bone marrow surgical extraction, blood draw), we wanted to create a way to bank your youngest cells in a 100% noninvasive way. We've thus optimized a method of converting urine derived cells to stem cells and have developed a novel collection device that allows your sample to be preserved via transport over the mail. Evera finally allows anyone, regardless of age, to invest in their future health and longevity! Happy to answer any questions you may have in the comments below :)
Heating isn't a problem, cooling is. Most aircraft use "bleed air" from the compressor on the engine. That air is extremely hot (>150°C), so it requires a lot of cooling. Aircraft air conditioners are known as "packs" or "air-cycle machines", as they don't use any refrigerant, just compression/expansion and heat exchange with the outside air. This is also why you can smell oil and jet fuel when the engines start.

Air isn't recycled in to this system because the cabin pressure is too low, but air already inside the cabin is circulated around to avoid it stagnating.
> IE9 was a fantastic, best-of-its-time browser, and I’ll forever be proud of it. But as IE9 wound down and the Windows 8 adventure began, it was already clear that its lead would not last against the Chrome juggernaut.

This is tangential, but I wonder how Chrome got so far ahead, not in market share but in features and quality, even with IE's 10+ year head start. Did Google just throw more programmers at the problem, or was there more to it? I suspect this has already been discussed to death, so pointers to previous discussions would be good.

This is not true. Dogs for example must fit under the seat in a kennel to be in the cabin vs cargo on most airlines. That limits size to <30lbs in most cases. Traveling with a pet in cargo on a plane that has a heated and pressured hold is very doable however and airlines publish their safety records for pet transit.

Feels like you just answered your own question. (Which happens a lot on HN)
That logic opens a metaphysical can of worms. If a mouse = a human, does a roundworm = mouse = human? What is the irreducible essence of human-equivalent life? What are the proofs behind this metaphysical value point, and why should sufficiently large creatures, or creatures that feel pain, or creatures that think, all get those points in a 1:1 ratio? Why not other creatures, or why not a different ratio? To say, one way or the other, "because that is what is right," would be a tautology. Furthermore, under that ethical system, killing an uncontainable fox in a henhouse is morally virtuous, equivalent to saving 10 humans. Or is it? Those 10 hens are causing an insect genocide, by consuming tons of plants that otherwise would have sustained thousands of insects.

Ethical standards are both arbitrary and necessary. They're arbitrary because we choose them, and necessary because they optimize for our goals. Those goals are themselves implicit in our choice of ethical standards. My ethical system assigns the highest weights to human health and happiness. That also takes into account climate change, because I temporally discount large adverse climate events from the future and consider their effect on our progeny. I don't disregard animal life, I just place human life at the top of my ethical pyramid. If you value human and rodent life equally, and therefore human and rodent suffering equally, then I believe your ethical standards are as arbitrary as mine. You just have a different optimization function, and it is at odds, for better or worse, with that of most of humanity.

What we can be most certain of is, generally, the revealed ethical system of most cultures, as manifested by their customs and laws (excluding the myriad effects of autocratic regimes and the cultural stunting that they entail). We can also be sure of our physical location, which determines the cultural mileu and ethical standards which are used to judge our actions. Furthermore, through empirical studies, we can measure the alignment of ethical systems to their goals and adjust course. We cannot, however, find an objective ethical system. It does not exist. We should not be bothered by that any more than we're bothered by the lack of a magic genie lamp or Velveeta volcano. All of that is to say, your equation of: cost of mouse suffering > widespread benefits of resulting drugs, is simply a preference. It can be restated as "I and a few others who share my views prefer that the lab mice not suffer, even if the result helps millions of humans." Even if you actually believe that the mouse testing is only wrong because it is in pursuit of something ostensibly cosmetic, or, as you stated, because we have made life more difficult for ourselves through over-abstraction and animals shouldn't suffer the consequences, your ethical standards are not any less arbitrary.
More info from Wikipedia:

SEED is a block cipher developed by the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA). It is used broadly throughout South Korean industry, but seldom found elsewhere. It gained popularity in Korea because 40-bit encryption was not considered strong enough, so the Korea Information Security Agency developed its own standard. However, this decision has historically limited the competition of web browsers in Korea, as no major SSL libraries or web browsers supported the SEED algorithm, requiring users to use an ActiveX control in Internet Explorer for secure web sites.

I never understood Kaggle. Most competitions don't require code to be submitted, just predictions to be made on a test set with missing labels. So, you don't even need to apply machine learning and I'd bet money that lots of winners don't and label by hand or outsource. I don't understand the fascination and appeal of these so-called "grandmasters".
You've invented a new medical hazard, which makes no sense whatsoever. If you were to somehow introduce enough solid matter into your blood that it lowers your RBC count on a volumetric basis, then you'd have far bigger problems than oxygen transport in general. And at that point, it wouldn't matter what the material is.

And you still haven't answered the question: how do you imagine such a large amount of powdered PTFE would get into your body? PTFE can't be digested, and there's no evidence that it's passed to the blood stream though inhalation. Are you really afraid that someone's going to inject you with a specially formulated suspension of ultra-fine PTFE?

The rest of your post is a bunch of mumbo jumbo.

> injuries produce stressor signals when the body is damaged and bleeding (since the lowered blood pressure decreases the efficiency of the heart's ability to deliver oxygen)

Not sure what "signals" you think you're talking about, but our compensation for traumatic hypovolemia is triggered by vascular baroreceptors, a mechanism has nothing to do with the effect of foreign particles in our blood.

> Keeping your blood clean of impurities is traditionally (mostly) handled by the kidneys, if some PTFE is introduced into the blood stream does PTFE recognize this impurity as a dilution - will it properly filter it out?

No, the kidneys do not filter out solids. That's not how they work. Your body has ways to deal with foreign particles, which vary widely depending on the nature of the material -- particle size and shape, reactivity, opsonizability, etc. None of these ways involve the kidneys in any significant way.

> I don't have any evidence to the contrary...

Nor, apparently, are you able to account for the half-century of experience we have in using PTFE inside people's bodies. Nor as well the material's track record in a huge variety of other applications. E.g., nearly every household in the first world has used PTFE-coated non-stick cookware. The fact that we have no evidence of PTFE somehow entering people's bloodstream and "diluting" their blood might clue you in to the plausibility of your theory. Or maybe not.

> ...but I am skeptical of how conclusive the supporting evidence is and would place the onus on proving harmlessness rather than harmfulness.

You can say that about anything. Literally anything.

Honestly, I know you think you're discussing a complex topic with some sort of clever reasoning, but it's only because you're missing a lot of basic knowledge of chemistry and physiology. I think I need to be done with this now.

Apple once advertised "Macs don't get PC viruses", which was true, but misleading. Microsoft often claimed that the reason there weren't Mac viruses was that it wasn't as attractive a target. They kept this trope going for a very long time. They said it for so long, that one would think hackers would want to crack MacOS just as a way to stand out from the crowd. The higher prevalence of PCs was never enough to explain the orders of magnitude difference in exploits. Macs may not have been super secure, but they were way more secure than Windows, and the number of viruses for Macs never "popped" in any way comparable.

> As an example, I'm thinking of the ubiquity of the Hangul Word Processor over Microsoft Word (which apparently has been around for over 30 years!) which gained near ubiquity in its domestic market.

There are two major factors in the ubiquity of HWP:

1. Its use of the de facto standard format in the SK government (the de jure standard is the ODF since 2007, but its use is virtually nonexistent). This stems from the fact that it was the most viable word processor supporting Hangul the script back in 1990s.

2. Its excellent support of table-based layout. HWP is a decent word processor in comparison to MS Word, and in some cases it is even superior. Koreans used to produce lots of documents based on tables [1] and HWP's UX was specially tailored to them. MS Word lagged behind for a long time, probably because this use case is not common in English worlds.

Eh, I did some work for nic.org. Assisted living is a real estate game, and the market reports are identical to apartment market reports. The medical bills go to Medicare and private insurance. Doctors aren't getting rich off Granny reverse mortgaging her house. Unless said doctors own an assisted living facility, preferably in one of the 30 major MSAs.

I also know several people that have bragged about printing out a internet fill in the blanks certificate claiming that their pet is a registered emotional support service animal, which they then of course use to bully the airlines into letting their pet ride in the cabin.

I also have completely had it with the large numbers of people I see at a nearby supermarket who walk their dogs, meet other dogs, treat the store as a dog park, and even let their dogs ride in the shopping carts with the food. It needs to stop. Have talked to the store manager who is sympathetic but says that all these people have certificates claiming the animal is a service animal and they are thus legally required to allow the animals in.
