> Imagine if we had tons of people incentivized to deploy these? We could make "cyber" phased arrays on a massive scale by doing time of arrival analysis and so on.

This is already going on. Some transponders don't report position (often seen on older turboprop airliners in Europe), so feeds from multiple receivers are combined to triangulate them. It's called multilateration (MLAT). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multilateration
The author does not allege that.

>But your claim was that this was unrelated to the trial. The response was that, no, it actually corroborated the core allegation in the Micfo case.

Now you're misreading both OP and the response to my comment. ghostbrainalpha claimed that the OP says the CEO was the same as the customers that were allegedly committing crimes like spamming. The OP does not say this.

>That doesn't make the IP fraud point somehow not corroboration.

OP never mentions this as one of the crimes he's listing. He lists:

1. Mishandling of warrants

2. Child endangerment

3. Enabling spamming

4. Enabling ToS violations

None of the things OP says are crimes are actually illegal, and none of them were at issue during the trial. That's what I pointed out.
Peer review almost never means reproducing the model, but that isn't because of the dataset (which is usually available to the reviewer) but because that's not what a peer review is!

A peer review isn't an adversarial process where you think that the person has done something wrong. Instead, it's extra eyes on it to make sure they have thought of everything, and to say what additional tests might be needed and why.
Hollywood actors and screenwriters are also unionized.

Why not just hire founders as PMs and pair them with an engineering team then?
When gVisor is enabled, hyper-threading is disabled (https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/concepts/san...) and GKE cluster shows only half the CPU as available resources.

Does n2d instance is considered safe from CPU vulnerability and safely enable hyper-threading when used with gVisor?
Hrmmm. So, this seems a bit sneaky in its description. To wit:
"First, an attacker gains access to a device via any method, be it physical access, malware that allows remote code execution and so on, and, with basic user privileges, the attacker can write malicious firmware to a vulnerable component. If the component doesn’t require the firmware to be properly signed, the attacker’s code is loaded. Depending on the peripheral in question, this can lead to a range of malicious activity."

Right, except in Linux and Windows, one must be an admin to the PCI/USB devices in a manner necessary to update the FW.

Additionally, and arguably more importantly, the lack of meaningful signature verification for device FW updates is a rather old state of affairs, going back at least a decade and a half, so why is this being released now? The cynic in me thinks about this being a PR piece, masquerading as an InfoSec article.

Without going down the path of "what is the root of trust for a signed update?" (for the sake of brevity), this is non-trivial problem to solve. Some FW, as part of the more general "driver", do go via Microsoft's WQHL, and some manufacturers do have signed updates on Linux (RPM signatures as an example).
In scientific endeavours we only ever find what we were looking for. If we weren’t looking for non-thermal effects in cells we won’t see them, especially if our model of a cellular mass is a lump of ballistics gel, or a computer model of a skin surface in terms of resistive and capacitative networks.

The reason the scientific evidence is minimal is that we have been using simplistic models of human bodies for RF testing.

So if it's difficult to tell the difference, why celebrate one side of the story and that too by a western media which has no idea about the ground realities in Kashmir. The article is also written by someone who is not an expert in political journalism. Techcrunch should stick what it does best.

Yeah, or would it be illegal to tell him to go to a doctor to get vision checked and corrected? People give medical advice to each other all the time. It is up to you whether or not you follow through, but even then, to get prescription you do need to visit a doctor. Why would telling people to visit a doctor to get X and Y prescribed illegal? Is it actually illegal? If he were to tell him to obtain Ritalin illegally, then I can see how that would be illegal, but from what I gathered he did not do that.

I am not a doctor. I told a stranger (who is now my friend) to visit a psychiatrist because I suspected he has ADHD. His psychiatrist diagnosed him with that, and he got a prescription for a stimulant. His life has changed tremendously for the better. It turned his life around. I gave him other medical advice (because I learnt a lot of medicine) about a variety of things that has improved his quality of life. I have no regrets.
There are some H-1B holders and green card applicants I'd like you to meet.

Also some pregnant people, people who look like they could get pregnant, people with significant medical expenditures, .... Yes, obviously, the control that an employer has over these people is much less than the control a governmental dictator would have - but it's much, much more than the control Guido or Linus have over anyone.
Because you can reproduce that binary bit-for-bit to confirm its corresponding source code. That's the point of a reproducible build.

Some card types will force usage of the EMV chip when used in a card present transaction.

By instructing the cashier to manually key in a card (albiet using a barcode to expedite the process), they bypass the need for EMV.
I realize I half finished my thought the main issue with adding AIS is the increased frequency increases power draw means you need a larger battery for this beacon. Either that or a solar panel which is more expensive and would get grimy over time and eventually fail.

> Huh? I mean yes you can technically continue to use an outdated framework, but what do you do when there is CVE identified and someone exploits

Technically, you can do a big bang rewrite, but they fail at a very high rate on significant systems—and you're still using the unsupported system while you do the big bang rewrite, and quite possibly after it fails, so you even in the best case you haven't eliminated the problem you point to with doing an incremental rewrite. So, the basic problem exists either way. Incremental rewrites (strangler or otherwise) prioritizing the highest-risk components for earliest replacement is one plausible risk-mitigation strategy, but the right choice is going to depend on project details. When you eliminate real options because of fake “you can't do that” considerations, you increase the risk of choosing a suboptimal approach because you preemptively discarded the least-bad solution.
I brought up pollution to point out that, although certainly worth it, society is paying a pricy to let people fly aeroplanes around as they wish. Since people owning planes are not just regular citizens, society should hence have some level of visibility into what people are doing with them.

Similar things apply to e.g. Amateur Radio. We've given people a big chunk of spectrum, and in exchange we expect transparency on what it's being used for. With few planes being owned by individuals, the case should be even stronger for aeroplanes, since the privacy argument applies less.
Any idea when these will be available on the genomics pipeline API (now "Cloud Life Sciences" API)?
I'd say they're more likely to be hiding themselves from the map than your average commercial flight.

Pilots of small aircraft are just as sensitive about giving up their privacy as anyone else.

Would you want your name, address, and position broadcast on the internet every time you get in your car?

Tomorrow, China will now have to produce its own chips. And those chips will be cheaper and put the US's chip manufacturers out of business. (Just like the US paper manufacturers, and the furniture manufacturers, and the small-item manufacturers, and the tools manufacturers, and the clothing manufacturers, and the ... but you get the point.)
> The tech unionization movement is full of people who favor open borders and the like

In my experience, tech unionists fall into one of two camps:

* The progressive camp, which is largely what you describe. Likes open border, diversity hiring and the like.

* The protectionist camp. Wants to limit immigration, require CS degrees, and clamp down on H1B hires.

The former seems to care more about influencing the politics of the company. The latter is more the traditional union stance, which is to increase the price of labor by restricting the supply.

You're right. Sometimes the answer key is wrong. I have to explain this to my professors from time to time, and it's always annoying. And in those cases I have paid money to be graded incorrectly.

How does it compare with building your own GPU-heavy computers? I'm not too familiar with it or how consumer-grade GPUs fare in these workloads, but training sounds like it in theory could happen locally easier than any consumer facing parts.
If it makes you feel better: this will always be optional, and we strongly advise against using Android apps on postmarketOS unless there is no alternative for one's use case.

With that being said, I find this an incredible technical achievement by Antoine Fontaine.

All I got was this loading screen: https://postmarketos.org/static/img/2018-06/anbox-starting.j...
The fashion magazine business was about selling pharma and cosmetic ad space in front of people who can both read and yet still choose to read about celebrities. I don't know how it survives now.

Was writing for newspapers and magazines around this time. Never for Conde Nast, but my impression was nobody in that business knew how to make money, it had already been made and they were just spending it like a third generation inheritance. They rode coattails in and while there were a few sharks on the corporate side, below the first name or two on the masthead it was hangers-on all the way down. It was a bubble.

The '00's were this odd period where it was easy to be seduced by the idea you could be famous for being clever. Men published and even read literary fiction. Before it became the troubled former child star of content it is today, Vice was actually a funny and subversive upstart. Book launches were society events. Being a columnist was a thing. It's hard to see how excesses of that period could be relevant today.

I commented on them in a previous thread about reddit, odd to see them here again. If Conde Nast is still staffed by people who cut their teeth in that era, they're going to need restructuring.
I ran across an administrative way to hide the ownership of an aircraft today. Something showed up as blocked on one of the other trackers, ADS-B Exchange gave me an N number that was for an aircraft owned by some sort of trust company.

I'm not familiar with union laws, but couldn't those workers form a union that did exactly what they wanted and none of what they didn't want?
In that case I think it's you who is misunderstanding the word. Unfortunately I haven't the time to give you a course on Linear Algebra so unless you can explain in more detail why you believe that the word "dimension" is inappropriate for the case I described I'm not going to be able to help you.

I do suggest you watch this video from Carl Sagan's TV show Cosmos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0WjV6MmCyM
Opposed to both. I should have been clearer.

As the parent comment appears to assume that the decisions taken by the government in Kashmir are tied to the terrorism in the valley as opposed to being mere line items in their manifesto that stems from their political ideology. So assuming what they're saying is correct, I only wish to understand the metric for peace.
Very sad, Larry Tesler was brilliant and an inspiration.

It is a philosophical one when you design around scaling out at a high rate. You incur significant additional complexity in many cases along with increased overhead.

It's fallacious to think that relying on "n" things is strictly safer than "3" things where n is large. That's not quite true due to the significant complexity increases when dealing with large "n" and accompanying overhead.

For web applications (which I suspect the majority of HN readers work on) then sure, but plenty of realtime or safety critical applications are perfectly ok with three-way redundancy.
It's harder to account for things like the price of benefits and measuring the amount of time spent on things like oncall.

As a concrete example, when Google analyzed their wages they actually noticed that they were underpaying men.

None of the things mentioned here are crimes, as far as I can tell. The crime they were actually charged with was using these shell companies to get more IP addresses than they were "entitled" to get. See the indictment at https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.scd.250342/...
You should definitely check some of the threads over the last 5 years on HN around interviewing. My personal rule of thumb is even if I'm 110% qualified for a position, landing a good job as an engineer requires 1-2 months of hard leetcode study. Then, assuming a good personality, no red flags, you get up to a 50-60% chance of passing any given interview.

Its incredibly time consuming and can also be quite stressful and dehumanizing, as you'll be leaving a lot of interview rooms thinking you're an imposter when the process is just awful.
Not high stakes as in you won't be killed, your family won't be shipped off to a labor camp, etc. if the company president turns out to be a malevolent dictator.

You really think it's worth it to encumber all companies with unions because of a few bad eggs?
Ah, another "forget <framework>, use mine instead" shtpost. Nice job.
Yep, they impact MP3 and AAC the same way. But what does “better quality” from a codec mean when these are controlled for?
How to write the perfect pull request (2015)
This might have something to do with it:

> When the transaction goes through, it’s recorded as card-not-present purchase.

> As a result of this emerging trend, instead of finding a large number of re-encoded credit cards during a search, a subject may only possess stickers or cards with barcodes that contain stolen card data,” the alert continues. “Additionally, the barcodes could be stored on the subject’s cell phone. If barcodes are discovered in the field, it could be beneficial to utilize a barcode scanning app to check the barcode for credit card data."

So, it sounds like the advantage is in doing something novel to avoid detection and hide proof better.
People get sued for false advertising al the time. I feel like people on hacker news are continuously surprised to discover that laws exist and are enforced.
Flipside: This criminal enterprise spotted those same exact attributes, but the mitigating factor was technical competence and submissiveness. And if it came to be where they thought it would never end up (the situation today), someone would discredit them as crazy, given their background.
Hah too true. Amazon, Nvidia, Coursera, etc. are making most of the money and the "AI startups" along with their investors are paying it.
Just a Tiny Fraction of America’s Plastic Can Be Recycled
The trouble is that without overall housing growth, the university can "giveth and taketh away": "grant" a COLA of some nominal amount, while also running a campaign to weaponize towny NIMBYism against grad-students by accusing grads of taking housing that "rightfully" belongs to "real" Berkeley residents, rather than admitting that Berkeley isn't a damned bedroom community anymore and just building some dense, subsidized grad housing on campus property.
The clipboard is a program. Why can the applications that want the data not make an API or file available that the clipboard uses to pass the data into, and then the app does what it will with the data? e.g.

echo "this is on the clipboard" | cat -

cat doesn't grab anything, it receives via a standard API, both its own and the pipe. Now imagine echo is a clipboard program that exposes no API that cat can use to access data at cat's behest.

Note: As this was informative I hereby declare this a non-useless use of cat.
Maybe the differences between how unions are implemented. I've worked at a white collar union shop (electrical engineering) where salaries are collectively negotiated. i.e. x% increase per year. The net result at this particular place has been that outside of promotions, salary increases are tied to tenure.

I do something like this - Macs as thin clients mostly used to SSH into a Threadripper workstation running Ubuntu. Add tmux with automatic attaching upon login via ssh to make your ssh sessions persistent. Add port forwarding to your router and a cronjob to your workstation to periodically ping a dynamic dns provider (entrydns works well), and you can ssh into your workstation from anywhere you have internet access.

It works really well, and means you never have to futz around with things like homebrew.
