Andrew Ayer has a write-up about this at https://www.agwa.name/blog/post/fixing_the_addtrust_root_exp...

At the core, this is not a problem with the server, or the CA, but with the clients. However, servers have to deal with broken clients, so it’s easy to point at the server and say it was broken, or to point at the server and say it’s fixed, but that’s not quite the case.

I discussed this some in https://twitter.com/sleevi_/status/1266647545675210753 , as clients need to be prepared to discover and explore alternative certificate paths. Almost every major CA relies on cross-certificates, some even with circular loops (e.g. DigiCert), and clients need to be capable of exploring those certificates and finding what they like. There’s not a single canonical “correct” certificate chain, because of course different clients trust different CAs.

Regardless of your CA, you can still do things to reduce the risk. Using tools like mkbundle in CFSSL (with https://github.com/cloudflare/cfssl_trust ) or https://whatsmychaincert.com/ help configure a chain that will maximize interoperability, even with dumb and old clients.

Of course, using shorter lived certificates, and automating them, also helps prepare your servers, by removing the toil from configuring changes and making sure you pickup updates (to the certificate path) in a timely fashion.

Tools like Censys can be used to explore the certificate graph and visualize the nodes and edges. You’ll see plenty of sites rely on this, and that means clients need to not be lazy in how they verify certificates. Or, alternatively, that root stores should impose more rules on how CAs sign such cross-certificates, to reduce the risk posed to the ecosystem by these events.
qmake is has very poor handling of dependencies between generate header files, like those used with protobuf.

https://github.com/jmesmon/qmake-protobuf-example
Probably not. They have been transferring workers from the programs where contracts are slow (commercial airlines) to those with more steady revenues (DoD contracts) to minimize layoffs. I haven't read up on the newest wave of Boeing layoffs yet.
I'm surprised how I almost ended up tearing up and was close to crying while watching this.

Saying this as someone who is not a huge NASA or space enthusiast.

I did study physics, and I'm more into science than the average person though.
I can see a case in some places for some people; for example during the pandemic lockdown I ran out of some of the stuff I usually buy; for me ordering 3 months worth of stuff 4 times a year and delivered directly at home is much more convenient than buying it weekly or every 2 week together with the usual grocery. I am lucky to have the space to deposit 3 months of their product (we don't consume too much of it, just juice and some Pepsi Twist) and for the right price and convenience I would be a great client for them; I would even do a subscription with automated payments, like the netflix one.
Excuse my ignorance, why Huawei just does not ditch snapdragon and only improve/use HiSilicon Kirin?
Another Google project that will end up being abandoned. Flutter, Dart, messaging, etc.

They need to just fix Android.
Yes the confusion of nationality and geographic labeling of your birthing coordinates are often confused. Kinda why I stick with human a label as that transcends geopolitical baggage of all forms.

In space, nobody checks your nationality.
I read that the loss of the connection is very likely hardware related but I wouldn't be surprised if SpaceX simply doesn't want to livestream something that may crash with a high probability. Nothing to do with the anti-science flat earth movement.
This achievement likely would not have been possible in the other two nations in which Musk holds citizenship. And I say this as a fellow expat of one of those nations.

For all of its faults, the United States is still home to innovation that is unrivaled in the rest of the world.
Yes, the company, including Crunchbase, has little integrity. Trust me.
If there was unlimited time, sure.
Sounds a bit like a modern, open approach to the problems that were solved by QNX. Excited to see how it evolves!
As an Apple user for decades, have to say that High Sierra seemed to be one of their better recent releases.

I have an iMac that uses it and a Mac Mini that is on Mojave and for some reason, High Sierra just feels more stable with some software.

Firefox runs fine on High Sierra and has crashed multiple times in the past few weeks after using it on Mojave.

Maybe I'm just biased having used High Sierra for so long and dreading Catalina lol.
> and for readers who believe that favoring female and minority voices is a moral and ethical issue, Eliot’s male and privileged background works against him.

I find it strange that you suggest younger readers would pass over Eliot given his race and background. If one is going to mix ethics and art, surely the fact that Eliot was an adamant anti-semite would be considered long before Eliot's race or background.

Even when Eliot was alive, there were calls from those in the currently "over thirty" crowd to discard Eliot (or fellow anti-semites like Ezra Pound) from literary study.

My own impressions of "under thirty readers" is far more favorable than yours. They seem as thoughtful as ever and take a very nuanced view of such issues. I think one can recognize the brilliance of Eliot's work, but also argue that time for literary study is limited at every level, so making cuts is inevitable. If we are making cuts anyway, arguing that diversity and ethical considerations are worth considering seems quite reasonable.
Exactly and no passport has ever been checked in space.
> cannabis dispensaries

I’ve never seen a cannabis dispensary where masses of people crowd together and sing spittle into each other’s faces.

Surely when looking at same treatment, you have to consider the differences in exposure. Plus church can feasibly be done remotely, where cannabis dispensing involves some physical transfer (could be mandated to be delivery though, and no singing and reduced capacity could be mandated for church gatherings).
I agree with this. Even if he’s an asshole sometimes, he’s an asshole with a vision and the capability to get it done.

I guess I prefer that over not having one at all :)
Mods, any chance you can give a boost to the launch coverage that is NOT from TC, but from a bit more relevant and notable source?

Here's one from Ars, which had an excellent space coverage for ages - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23364529
I agree, math is a perfect example where code is more clear to have a single long statement on one line. I am a bit skeptical that you have a big codebase with math on more than a quarter of the lines of code though. Most likely there are a lot of shorter lines between your formulas which is exactly my point here.

When long lines improve readability/ clarity you should have the ability to use them.
I made my wife and kids sit and watch it with me.

Oddly enough, I think the first time they landed the rocket booster felt more significant to me.

SpaceX launches have made space flight ordinary in a way that is pretty remarkable.
And it’s painted black against black backdrop when the decision to pull it happens in milliseconds level. :facepalm:

This is what a Martin Baker ejection handle looks like: https://c8.alamy.com/comp/BJTDWG/martin-baker-ejection-seat-...

With all due respect to all the engineers that work at SpaceX, the UI of the cockpit has regressed to the point of pure marketing. Same with the suit design, looks like an awful low budget sci-fi film. Functionalism and the beauty in the way things are without adornment is dying. And, it is painful to watch as a engineer who designs HMI systems. IMO design and aesthetic that emerge out of the way things are is so much more authentic than CEO's inspiration from a sci-fi movie genre that was probably conceived by some guy in 80's in half a dozen hours before before putting up a hollywood set. These movie makers did not study UX/UI and it was all about entertaining the audience.

Just look at how functional and beautiful the aesthetics of space flight was like during the golden era of Apollo 11. There was no design. There was just pure emergence of aesthetics from whatever they were doing to make things functional (ok, with some small exceptions like the logo and US flag on the suits): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpLrp0SW8yg

Checkout the new Mars rover - absolutely zero marketing, pure function - https://mars.nasa.gov/news/8649/nasas-perseverance-mars-rove...

If SpaceX designed a mars rover, it would have gaudy shrouds and plastic covers, probably some LED lights to make it look cool, sleek 30, 45, 60 degree angles everywhere (ohhh space aesthetics), and all kinds of marketing bullshit whereas NASA engineers are focused on what is important. And it is gorgeous without even trying.
> There are no assurances that it will ever run.

Yes and no. Whenever control leaves a code block, Rust automatically calls the drop() method of all values still owned by that block. There is no guarantee that control will exit every block (cf. Turing), but a moderately exceptional circumstance needs to occur for this not to happen, like an infinite loop.
The hate that people have for ambitious people with ambitious projects, is quite sad.
If it's any consolation, the Cessna Caravan predates the Dodge Caravan by 3 years.
You can, but it is not made easy by the producer because the market of people like you is not big enough. Most of these companies deliver by the truck, not by the case, your protein bar for one year is not even one pallet and they are not set up for small distribution.
To be fair, Cessna had the name before Chrysler co-opted it
I think it's hilarious how HN dislikes Elon. Elon is edgy, non-pc, and speaks his mind. All traits I see looked down upon in Silicon Valley.
From South Africa.
In times of covid and all other negativity this is inspiring to say.
You just need to look further. You get access to rare materials that can be immensely valuable.

Also with that short term outlook you wouldn’t have many things. The Internet was not initially commercial. It was designed to provide communications in the event of a nuclear attack. Yet here we are now and we have reaped immense benefits from that investment.

It’s blindingly obvious that spaceflight makes sense to invest in. The issue is that the level of investment is large and the time horizon before a return is long. Sometimes government takes that role.
Loved the SpaceX guy on handover to NASA: "... and thank you for flying on Falcon today!"

Private space flight started with this flight.
Look up "power law". Peter Thiel talks about this in detail in his book
He's probably in the top 0.001% of greatest Americans ever.
Yes, shakes the whole rig causing the satellite dishes to not transmit most of the times. Last time they missed we got a perfectly streamed cloud from the booster crashing in the ocean instead. Also such a low priority, spend engineering hours on the perfect feed which they either way collect in a couple of hours or more pressing matters.
Maybe they will fix Android by replacing it with Fuchsia :P I think the problems with Android run so deep, it can't just be "fixed".
That's what I expect and look forward to that. Still, fun seeing the conspiracy penchants jump all over that missing few seconds, just playing a drinking game with myself based upon what explanations they can come up with for why it is not real. Just don't make a big list as they are running thru them fast and nobody liver is worth that. SO list responsibly.

Antennas don't like vibrations. They have also live streamed cores that failed to land. So this take doesn't make sense
Not all models scale up well with more parameters.

VAEs are not really exclusively a vision thing, they have been used in a variety of settings. Using VAEs for NLP is also nothing new, an early example is Bowman et al, 2015.

https://arxiv.org/abs/1511.06349
I have a strong feeling that Fuchsia will not be abandoned. I can't put my finger on it, but Google's approach and tone around Fuchsia feels really different from how they talked about / marketed Reader, or even Wave, or other things they shut down.

I'm an Android developer learning Flutter and Dart out of both curiosity and an gamble that it will likely be a faster-improving way to make cross-platform apps than other approaches (like Kotlin + Swift, or React Native, or the others)
Not really open. If you submit code, you grant a license to Google to use it in non-proprietary code.[1] So, at some point, once users and developers are locked in, Google can make later versions closed and proprietary enough to stop clones.

Like they did to Android with Google Play Services.

Also curious what all this is getting at.

"This has little integrity" isn't useful for the conversation, but it has the potential to be an interesting topic if you just back up the assertion. I hope you will do so.
Elon Musk tends to speak as if he was an expert on subjects he only has cursory knowledge of. Most engineers have, by personal experience, found such people to be giant pains in the ass and would prefer they all just shut up.
people have survived even crazier situations, like an airplane cartwheeling down a runway AND THEN bursting into flames. (100+ survivors, out of ~300 IIRC)
I think they drove on public roads to get from the prep area to the pad.
Facebook and Instagram Oversight Board to begin operating later this year
Original tweet was too long. Edited for clarity. It was:

There are many significant issues relating to online content that we recognize people want the Board to consider. We're working hard to set the Board up to begin operating later this year so it can start considering cases referred by users and Facebook.
I don't know what a Dodge Caravan is specifically. This is what 'caravan' makes me think of though - https://www.practicalcaravan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/... - not what you'd want to fly in!
Hierarchy of Organization and Mind
You have a very valid point. As someone who uses Haskell professionally in a large organisation, I can honestly say that past changes such as FTP and AMP have added very little but caused significant issues for both academic and industrial users. GHC is no longer a Haskell 2010 compiler and unfortunately there seems little interest in the community for creating a new Haskell standard.
No worries. And to clarify, in context the point is that traversal fundamentally can't be avoided in the case of RAII. This defeats (what I see as) the primary use case of an arena allocator - deallocating an arbitrarily large chunk of contiguous memory in O(1) time regardless of object count.

Of course this is all somewhat tangential to the original topic of generational GCs, where the RAII idiom also has significant negative impacts. The performance characteristics would otherwise be O(n) based on the live set and thus similar to an arena allocator in terms of the ability to dispose of an arbitrarily large number of objects efficiently.
It's functionally equivalent to a sporting event in terms of crowds and space usage. A large group of people gather to observe something on a regularly scheduled basis.

It even has more important events that typically draw larger crowds (high holidays/playoffs).
Umbrella App: free, open source advice on safety for activists
sorry, but I see no beauty in this.
In general I agree with you that it's good to run fuzzers against any endpoints, public or internal (as you never know if someone can wrangle data to go from public -> internal somehow), but in this particular case, you'd only find a issue if the fuzzer somehow randomly used the ID of another user that was already created, and verified that it couldn't access it.

In that case, you'd catch it way before even implementing the fuzzer.

So in this case, I don't think a fuzzer would have helped. Some E2E tests written by humans should have caught this though.
Both Flutter and Dart had new preview releases just this month
I think if you were able to get the range up to 250-300 miles that would be a very big deal for far flung communities. All of those are underserved by air transport. Offhand thought is you probably could justify small pilotless freight aircraft.
I'd hardly consider projects (ie Flutter and Dart) that both had releases in the last week to be "abandoned".
A lot of C++ code depends on deallocation order for correctness. Like a destructor may want to say bye-bye to a pointed-to-object, and if you reverse order of deallocation, that pointer may be dangling.

Consider this code

{
Window a;
ClickHandler* b = new ClickHandler(&a);
delete b;
}

Let's say b tries to deregister itself when it's deleted. This code will work as written. But if you defer the deletion of b, then stack allocated Window a may already be gone.

Just don't read "all" as a logical operator. I believe the vast majority of blacks had their problems increased with Trump, so the Biden's "all" can be easily understood. In case somebody's words can be ambiguous we assume the variant which makes sense is valid, right?
Can someone give a link without a paywall?
If I heard correctly, SpaceX got less because they were already running regular resupply missions to ISS and not because they had "worse, less reliable design".

The WTO is run by a very specific brand of economists that don't see the value in a country subsidizing an industry to maintain local expertise in that industry.

I for one disagree pretty heavily with this ruling.
Rockets were being made long before 50 years ago. There were plenty of rockets in WWI. And there were smaller rockets going back to before the US war of independence (ie "the rocket's red glare"). If we are talking big metal things that fly into space being produced on an assembly line, then those operating in Germany during late WWII making the V2s (75years ago) were probably the first rocket factories. But I'm not going to clap for them.
The church's claim is that since other businesses, such as grocery stores, don't have occupancy limits[0], that enforcing occupancy limits on churches is discriminatory.

The state argues that churches aren't like grocery stores, but like concert halls or theaters, which remain closed and will likely have similar occupancy caps when. The state also goes a bit further and notes that churches include singing, speech, and audience participation that isn't common in other places like grocery stores and theaters, which increase the dangers of spreading respiratory droplets.

The majority essentially agreed that Churches are more like concerts than grocery stores, and that treating them similarly is reasonable in an emergency situation. The minority disagreed.

[0]: I'm unclear on this, the grocery stores I go to do have 1-in-1-out policies and capacity caps. Lines go out the door and are socially distanced.
> ...who put entire functions in argument lists to the point you can't parse a statement to save your soul.

As I said above, if your code is loaded down with tons of long lines of code, it's likely a symptom that something else is wrong. If code is difficult to read, it's bad code.
1. Ok, makes sense, however this is something to keep in mind when we try to gain understanding of how NNs work. In this case, the actual features which excite the filters the most might be even more "texture-like" than what you produced. This could be important, if, say, we wanted to argue that NNs pay more attention to textures than to shapes.

2. Let me try to explain this better. If we want to optimize the inputs to the first layer, these inputs are actual RGB images. So what you're doing in line 35 is correct:

input_img_data = np.random.random((1, 3, intermediate_dim[0], intermediate_dim[1]))

but in the next layer, the inputs have more channels than 3. So you should be optimizing images of the shape the layer expects (replacing 3 with the number of channels of that layer). If you do it like that, then the image you want to visualize - the image that excites the outputs of an intermediate layer the most - will have more channels than 3, and therefore it's not clear whether we should pick arbitrary triplets of channels to use as RGB channels, or if we should visualize each channel (each input feature map) individually, in which case it would have no color.

I guess my question should be: when you show optimized inputs to the second or third VGG layers where does the color information comes from? Also, you probably shouldn't call them "filters", because the filters in this context are the actual convolutional layer weight kernels, and are 3x3 in size (each filter).
Timing aligns with Salt vulnerabilities (CVE-2020-11651 and CVE-2020-11652)?

> Another Google project that will end up being abandoned.

Do you have any sort of evidence for this statement or is this pure speculation?
One thing that, I think, won’t work well is adding a backend to generate code for such much less powerful CPUs to a compiler-linker system designed for more powerful CPUs.

Because saving and restoring register values is fairly expensive (both in time and in memory) you shouldn’t do register allocation per function, or commit to a fixed ABI. The best assembly to generate for a function often will depend on what it calls or where it is called from. Let’s say you need a register or flag to be clear at some time. A function you just called might accidentally already do that, or it might be cheaper to change that function’s code or register allocation to give it the desired side-effect than to have the function that needs the register or flag cleared waste an entire byte to do that.

You basically need a whole-program (compiler-linker) to generate good code for these CPUs.

That also helps in moving local variables to global addresses (you likely will have to, because of limited stack space) and in having such variables share memory locations as much as possible (if foo doesn’t (indirectly) call bar and vice versa, ant hey aren’t recursively called, their local variables can share the same memory addresses. Again, you’ll likely have to, because memory is limited)
My friend is kind of confused. Why wouldn't an observer outside of the event horizon see things falling into it? He says you can glean information from a thing that's outside of the horizon, but a thing falling into it should cease to be observable, at least by his understanding of black holes. My galaxy-sized brain understands this, of course, but my friend's pea-brain doesn't.

So asking for a friend, ELI-aborted-CS-degree?
Also because it costs less when you can reuse the booster rocket.
I once pleaded with Crunchbase to remove a person from my former company’s public-facing page, due to a legal and personal obligation I had.

They refused, pronouncing the integrity of their data. I lost a very valuable friendship over that insignificant datum.

In addition to my loss, the person I requested to remove must now have this page at the top of their google search results, which is a shame, especially given that I added them to the page without their consent, which at the time did not have such apparent consequences.

For what it’s worth, it was a small, two-person company. In my opinion, they should have respected my humble request.

After this experience and others, I do often question the integrity of the data-centric, journalistic community in NYC.
Probably a better way to estimate battery capacity is through weight. The article says that the battery weighs "roughly one tonne", and li-ion batteries weigh between 150-200 wh/kg at the pack level, so the battery is probably between 150 and 200 KWh.
