Right, and what were 4OD's views? From what I remember, far fewer people used IPlayer until they moved to 30-day...which was 2014-ish.

And your timeline isn't correct, as said I remember using it in 2007 which was before IPlayer launched (you can actually verify this for yourself if you Google, IPlayer launched Christmas Day 07...4OD launched over a year earlier).

And 4OD opened back catalogue on launch. That is just factually incorrect too (again, if you deigned to do some Googling you could find this out for yourself).

I also didn't say that was the fleece. Kangaroo was the fleece. But the fleece is also selling stuff to Netflix that people have already paid for...saying this is "false" is odd (do you work on the BBC's "fact-checking" service by any chance? They have a habit of not understanding the difference between true and false).

Royalties make no difference, that is just economically incontinent...if I develop an oil field and I pay $10/barrel in royalties, it doesn't matter because I am making $50/barrel, and that is tied to my revenue. It makes zero difference. If royalties are prohibitive, don't develop it.

...amazing that you managed to compose a post that was almost entirely fiction but stated with utter authority. Why do you think you did this?
A lot of the software I write would be considered "safety critical" in that a crashed program could lead to injury to people and damage to property.

Unit testing is by far the most valuable form of testing during development, in that it catches 90% of bugs before the code touches hardware. Also, after development, unit tests serve as regression tests that catch unintended changes made by others.

Mocking, whether or not through dependency injection, is absolutely necessary to enable testing when targeting bare-metal platforms, and very helpful to speed up testing when targeting an operating system. Dependency injection in particular usually constrains code to be written in a way that, although perhaps seemingly more complex at the surface, is a lot more maintainable long term.

Integration testing is also a very good idea. The thing with integration tests, though, is that they get bigger and more complicated and slower over time. Relying solely on integration testing will likely become a development bottleneck if your system grows in complexity. If you can run an integration test suite deterministically and efficiently on a development system, then the software under test probably isn't that complicated, relatively speaking. Also of note is the tendency for mocks and dependency injection to help out when integration testing as well; being able to completely abstract away hardware allows for faster than real-time deterministic simulation at a system level.

If you're doing well without unit tests and folk generally seem to be happy, then good on you. Unit tests are a pain to write. I'd suggest that you might be severely limiting your full potential as a software developer, though.
Honestly, the killers are Google Photos and Google Maps.

Google Photos lets me back up photos from my phone AND copy them to my PC. I haven't found any other way to copy photos from an iPhone into a laptop (unless you use macOS). Since they already handle my photos, I might as well use it for backups.

And Google Maps is pretty uncontested when it comes to moving around. Apple Maps doesn't even have a "biking" option (in a country where > 90% of the population bike everywhere, that's a killer).
There is no system, it's all just people. If you want academics to study medieval poetry you're welcome to pay them directly to do it, or establish a charitable foundation for that purpose. Personally I have other priorities and don't want any of my taxes or school fees used for that purpose.
Yep. And that would be OK with GDPR again AFAIK.

But in this case it seems clearly wrong.
There are no flat earth politicians getting elected. You are grossly exaggerating the harm a flat earther stuntman has caused by lumping him in with other people who believe and did other things. It's disgusting.

> You write as if markets are a zero sum game, however they are most certainly not.

People who say this are only ever looking at the node level, not the network level. Sure, new wealth is added to the network, but at a miniscule trickle compared to the everyday activities of the economic network.

"Wealth is not zero sum" essentially, if taken to its logical conclusion, means "everyone can be a billionaire!" No, they cannot.
2% is the number of death when you have Intensive Care Unit beds to provide oxygen, fluids, anti viral drugs to serious case.

15% is the number of serious cases on average.

So once you have filled all your ICU, you cannot take any serious case anymore, so I would say the most apocalyptic case is that all hospitals are overwhelmed, and you cannot address any serious case, so 15% is still possible in the most horrific case. (But not the more likely if you quarantine everyone)

However in poor countries without any healthcare infrastructure we could have quite a number of serious case dying.
I think it's okay, as this was a movie for entertainment rather than a documentary.
I agree with that, and saying that would be a better comment than just calling for something to be deleted. Explaining why something doesn't belong, or even just saying "this doesn't belong here", is better than a demand something be deleted.

There's also the OTP model, where you have exceptions as well as a robust "something" up there. You don't have to deal with the minutiae, and the pattern (processes (aka, isolated processes) and restarts) lets you deal with known or unknown errors.
Unit tests do not verify behavior, except for a few cases (out of a virtually infinite set of cases) that the programmer happened to think about.

Types do verify behavior - e.g. this function always returns an Int, that function only returns a UserId, this other function doesn't do any I/O.
I really love your Flowsheets prototype, I hope someone pursues that direction in the future. “Spreadsheets with more tools from traditional programming” seems like such a powerful idea.

Google(et al) isn't searching for the best in the world. They are searching for the best malleable candidates that fit into their mold.

This is why some of them recruit heavily from fresh grads, so they can indoctrinate them as they see fit.
I went through the interview process with Square and their compensation is around that level and it was just a 3 round interview process no muss no fuss. Phone interview went well, completely crushed the coding interview (which was coderpad with one human talking through my thought process as I went) and we were about schedule the third round which would have just been an onsite with a bit of white boarding and what not when they had a last minute internal transfer (which they profusely apologized about and offered other positions I could go for but they were all in SF not NY) but it was a pretty healthy process compared to some of the other stuff I've done in interviews so not all high comp companies are insane. Would definitely recommend them as a place to work.
> failing to respond to a self-XSS report

This really downplays the report or shows a complete lack of understanding.

Getting access to someone's Paypal account which could potentially mean all their credit cards and banks is definitely an issue that needs to be addressed. This in itself should not be reason to lose PCI certification.

However, as the article further indicates [1], failure to respond (or even closing the issue without resolving) is a completely different story.

This is especially evident in e.g. third-party Python libraries.

For example, say you have a pandas dataframe with a column "foo" and you accidentally try to read column "fooo". Instead of getting a useful exception like "PandasException: Attempted to read nonexistent column 'fooo'", you get a traceback 10 layers deep, terminating in something like "pandas.hashtable.PyObjectHashTable.get_item" which ought to be totally invisible to you, the library user.
Yeah, that. That's what I get for not checking my shelf first. In my defense mine's the version that at least does contain the word "persuasion" somewhere in the title, though the proper short version is still Influence. I'll leave my original post as-is as a monument to my failure.
First, I thought eminent domain allowed a government to force a sale, not that it forced the seller to do so below market price. I’m not a lawyer so I won’t argue that.

Second, even if all the things you’ve just said “no” about are true for 100% of existing property, if this is part of the planning regulation for new buildings, then the designs can be required to be such that the answers are “yes”. I know this is technically achievable by way of having at least one example of PV on a roof.

People have a weird mental model of how big-company bug bounty programs work. Paypal --- a big company for sure, with a large and talented application security team --- is not interested in stiffing researchers out of bounties. They have literally no incentive to do so. In fact: the people tasked with running the bounty probably have the opposite incentive: the program looks better when it is paying out bounties for strong findings.

Here are the vulnerabilities in their report:

1. They can suppress a new-computer login challenge (they call this "2FA", but this is a risk-based login or anti-ATO feature, not 2FA).

2. They can register accounts for one phone, then change it to another phone, to "bypass" phone number confirmation.

3. There are risk-based controls in Paypal that prevent transactions when anomalies are detected, and some of them can apparently be defeated with brute force.

4. They can change names on accounts they control.

5. They found what appears to be self-XSS in a support chat system.

6. They found what appears to be self-XSS in the security questions challenge inputs.

None of these are sev:hi vulnerabilities, let alone "critical". 2 of them --- #4 and #6 --- are duplicates of other people's issues. Self-XSS vulnerabilities are often excluded entirely from bounty programs.

For the last 3 hours, the top comment on this thread has been an analysis saying that, because Paypal is PCI-encumbered, and HackerOne reports can function as "assessments" for PCI attestations, Paypal is in danger of losing its PCI status (and the fact that it won't is evidence that they are "too big to fail"). To put it gently: that is not how any of this stuff works. In reality, formal bug bounty programs are a firehose of reports suggesting that DKIM configuration quirks are critical vulnerabilities, and nobody in the world would expect any kind of regulatory outcome simply from the way a bounty report does or doesn't get handled. It should, I hope, go without saying that nobody is required to run a bounty in the first place, and most companies probably shouldn't.

The login challenge bypass finding was actually interesting (it would be more interesting if they fully disclosed what it was and what Paypal's response was). But these reporters have crudded up their story with standard bug-bounty-reporter hype, and made it very difficult to judge what they found. I'm inclined not to believe their claim that Paypal acted abusively here (and I am not a fan of Paypal).
> the normal mindset of an exception-based programmer is to program for the happy-case and only vaguely think about what happens if it goes wrong.

I'm not sure that's such a bad thing. Exception handling doesn't mean you should be handling all exceptions, just that you can recover if one does occur. If an exception is 100% relevant to what you're doing then yes absolutely handle it, or even clean up your own state before propagating the exception if you can't. But please don't catch any and all exception to suppress or obfuscate them by wrapping it in another domain specific exception.
Sadly the options are very limited it seems. There are a handful of state schools that either offer them to people who have some existing college credi (not if you dont have any prior education) or offer made up bullshit sounding degrees for "continuing professionals". There are also for profit school and school that seem to not be outright scams, but might not be high quality (e.g. WGU)

So if you just want to check a box for grad school or to bypass ATS filtering, etc. you have a few options, otherwise you might be out of luck

Ah right, I'm bad at math.
The biggest WTF I got out of this was:

Writing code and tests in a Google Doc. I can't think of a much less friendly environment to write code in, except perhaps Notepad. I did it once (for an intra-company interview), and it was nasty to deal with.

The WTF in second place was a blind requirement to know the mechanics behind a somewhat niche game that was big two years ago.
Was it this gist, perhaps?

I've got a colleague who is brushing up on his math before he takes on this very degree. I think he's going down to four days a week from next year, to accommodate his study.
You gotta be careful not to get RSI in your vocal chords. I almost did when I tried voice coding years ago. For me at least, it tends to shift to whenever “work” is being done. Same thing happened when I experimented with eye tracking.
I said it would be huge, didn’t I? The other poster said it might not kill most people, my point is even massive disasters don’t come anywhere near killing most people.
Could it be that they're attempting to lay the tracks for further expansion?

I couldn't agree more!

Why doesn't every error message have a link to a specific page with discussions, instructions, etc. Or maybe even a button you can click where the machine tries a best guess at an automatic fix?
The money doesn't disappear. An argument can be made that transferring money from the rich to the poor will boost the economy rather than hurting it. The average taxpayer should be net-zero: the exact same amount going out in new taxes as is coming in in UBI. They'll scream "my taxes went up by $1000 per month!" conveniently ignoring the $1000 per month cheque they're also receiving.

That's assuming a fully costed proposal, which this one isn't.
It's not at all clear to me what you're saying here. Are you making a case that the whole report all put together is impactful? Or are you actually trying to argue that self-XSS is a critical security vulnerability?
Unfortunately, a lot of the most damning stuff posted here, has been from google employees. I remember a long HN post recently where Google Engineers were lamenting about how they do nothing at work all day, are losing their skills, and only stick around for outrageous pay. Outwardly happy is not always the truth of the matter.

You see, people tend to get hooked up on features of the language they are using especially if they have very limited choice of languages they know. They will vehemently defend their point of view fortified by whole range of cognitive biases. Their combined effect like more alcohol to the drunk to make him feel strong and able to overcome bouncers.

I personally believe no person who can't program in both assembly and lisp should call themselves real/full programmers because they have not been exposed to full range of concepts. You have to, of course, start somewhere. But until you have experienced full variety of possible language features you are not really qualified to discuss any them with any authority.

It's worth modeling it as negative, because administration consumes non-trivial amounts of it, and in practice, often quite significant amounts of it.

Part of the UBI idea is to reduce that overhead, though I'm at a loss as to how to ensure it stays low. The same politicians that turn our current system into a haphazard mess of special carveouts and regulations will still be in power and will have all the motivations (if not more) to add more carveouts and regulations to the new UBI.
I would like a computer system that can do algebraic reductions. This is the only thing that forced me to go back to pen and paper.

This looks like it does substitutions but I didn't see reductions.

I'm conflicted but tend to agree. The other day as I was reading some academic job market horror story on Twitter, it occurred to me that this is the market's way of saying we have too many candidates! Go away! It's like you have a train full of people, and new people are continually trying to embark, even though it gets harder and harder for each new person.

In the long run, medieval poetry PhDs probably will end up in well-paying (if less inspiring) jobs like running pizza restaurants - but don't underestimate the awfulness of the short-term.
Can I ask the chassis and motherboard combination? I know previous generations have been based on QCT chassis and motherboard components. I am curious what the non-hotswap, shallow depth, 1S is as it probably saves a fair amount of money dropping the HPC/density and hot swap premiums.
To be really good at those interviews you have to practice to be really good at those interviews. It takes a tremendous amount of time to get good enough that you can't possibly fail (especially for people like me, who are incapable of thinking clearly when they're asked to perform in front of others).

My brother hires for a consulting firm and he was talking about how there really is a shortage of talent out there. That's true, but in an earlier era, companies would hire a bunch of people out of college and spend resources training them. I know there are a lot of intelligent people out there who would be more than capable of performing if the entry bar wasn't set so high. Unfortunately, I guess that model doesn't work in the era of job hopping.
Don’t know what to tell you, I have personally made this mistake and not had this caught by the compiler. I haven’t used go in several years at this point, so it’s entirely possible this is a newly-caught scenario by the compiler.

Regardless, the fundamental point stands. Using tuples to return “meaningless” values alongside errors allows developers to mistakenly use those meaningless values.
If it's a high quality article then it's highly reasonable to assume it's also reported on high quality sites.

I'd rather see low quality sites banned and miss the very infrequent quality article rather than give them a false stamp of legitimacy by having articles appear here.
Interesting, what example would come to mind?
I would take that number with a grain of salt too, as there is a lot of asymmetry with how and when that data is reported. There may be a large number of "recovering" cases that are not completely closed yet but have essentially zero chance of death in the future. The definition of recovered seems open to interpretation while death is not, and so the deaths would have a more immediate reporting period, as well as a shorter average interval of time since infection started.
