The article explains why you want a 2-way function: it allows you to rotate the pepper. If you have a one-way pepper, you can't change the pepper if it were to be exposed.

The whole idea is to have a factor that is never stored in the database, so a database dump cannot expose hashes that can be attacked. Just as the user may want to change their password periodically, the site operator might want to change their pepper. Without a 2-way function, you can't do that without the user presenting their unencrypted password again.
Ua&By bodyshops work on B2B basis, so fire at will is quite possible, though highly unusual - demand is simply too high
If Apple detected a piece of malware in the App Store and realized it had been downloaded thousands of times surely they can do something to help out those who have downloaded it? Like an update to the app to remove it possibly?

Personally I have to agree with your thoughts and I stopped torrenting years ago out of fear of a ransomware and only buy legitimate software. Younger me was not able to afford that and my security suffered as a result.
They didn't ask your parents or legal guardian?

My experience in teaching hospitals is that the students back off if asked to do so but I think the request needs to come from the legally responsible person.
3Box | Backend or Full Stack Engineer | NYC, Berlin, Remote | Full Time

Want to build a more interoperable web free of silos? 3Box is building the distributed data network that lets developers build lighter and more powerful apps on a cooperative backend, users control their data, and the web unlock permissionless innovation by decoupling data from platforms and applications.

We're a small, highly technical team at the center of the web3 ecosystem. We are extremely intentional, impact-driven, community focused (everything we do is open source), and driven by nonstop learning and growth. We have a lot of fun while we work - remote-first, with pods in NYC and Berlin - and travel to amazing places for regular retreats.

We're adding a backend engineer to drive our core infrastructure development, with strong collaboration with our CTO. As we roll out our new distributed protocol and network we'll have some a number of novel and massive challenges to tackle.

He Built a Privately Funded Border Wall. It’s at Risk of Falling If Not Fixed
How does one create a society that is both free and yet safeguarded against this kind of egregious, unnecessary and possibly dangerous amassing of wealth and power in the hands of so very few people?
Readers of scientific papers never had to pay. Before papers were available in digital form, you could request a paper copy from the authors. Of course the authors usually paid for some extra copies for this but when those ran out, you'd get a photocopy. Then people started requesting a copy and would get one by email. Now it's just faster to simply find that copy on the web than wait for someone to reply to your email.
Didn't read the paper but it appears to be fresh, so maybe the newsworthy part is that they are still not fixed?
Yeah. That was very rude. I’d heard the systemd developers severely lack social skills. The way he went from 0 - EXASPERATED was surprising and uncalled for.

I am with you, but please argument your opinion. It is somewhat obvious from any "moral" standpoint, but every time I try to dig why people think that way I only find badly formulated opinions, based on nothing, but some vague belief systems of "right" and "wrong".
It isn't a non-sequitur, he offered a solution for users that would like different settings, while choosing not to engage in pointless arguments.

While professional courtesy is recommended, maintainers don't really owe an explanation for their work when provided for free. Put that man on a payroll and you might deserve a more detailed answer.
"Normal" politics is the world c. 1995, and "Normal" economics is the white upper-middle class post war US economy.

Why? Presumably because those periods most comparatively advantaged the demographics of the people inclined to make such comments.

Of course 171Bn is "normal", and most of human history has been more unequal, not less.
Of course it's not normal that's why it's news, but I don't see anything wrong with this. As long as he pays his fair share of taxes and Amazon pays it's proper share of corporate taxes then we're good. Problem of course is we all know that last part is very broken right now, especially on the corporate tax side.
I used to work at a company that provided APIs used for search/personalization/autosuggest for a whole bunch of huge e-commerce companies. Since the entire integration with the customer site was API based, we worked off of tracking pixels, API requests and cookies to determine shopping behaviour. A lot of this went into determining things like ranking (If someone searches "Tshirt" what shows up on the first page and in what order etc.)

Since we were only running search and not payment processing, the tracking pixel/API for "Add to Cart" was a big thing for us. The whole product ran on revenue-share so we were paid per X ATCs

Interesting to see if any of the customers were affected by bots doing ATC and how it was handled if it was.
Co-conspirators, more like it!
People like Bezos have far more influence on shaping the world than most of us mere mortals, and they are not going to make it easy to redistribute wealth.
With that kind of money I would keep a couple billions for myself and slowly liquidate the rest and give it away. Charities, public schools, research institutes, universities, the Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, etc. There's so much work to do.

I'd probably produce movies too, with zero expectations of them turning a profit, just to experiment with various storytelling ideas I have in mind.

Because is my case Java is the only language with libraries that implement all the rare needs I have. And because I need to create an application with the smallest memory footprint possible. And in my best attempt at it, I use a Rust Webserver that use a static GraalVM compiled Java library containing all the business code thus eliminating the fat Java http/web libs, so I have a lower exe footprint that translate is smaller memory footprint because executable are loaded in memory at one point.
For reference, this is roughly the same as the GDP of Kansas, or the market cap of Toyota.

I'd say it is normal, the vast majority of time since humans started living in cities have been like this. A society based on a corrupt system structured to concentrate wealth and power in the hands of a ruling class.

The abnormal time period is our brief flirtation with systems aimed to harness competition between the powerful in service of the masses. But it doesn't seem this can survive without rules to limit the power of the super rich to control the media & create monopolies.
I guess you’re assuming that having deep pockets they bid very high in certain areas?

Having worked with AdWords I can anecdotally say that a lot of smaller players would bid higher than the big fish. This is more dependent on margins than volume I reckon, and there are some smaller companies with very fat margins compared to large enterprises.
> The amount given to large corporations (much in the form of loans that will be paid back) is less than that given to individuals:

Much of the $377b in Small Business PPP money actually went to large corporations like Shake Shack, Ruth's Chris, Kura Sushi. And of the $2.3t, only about 1/4 went to individuals, so it's a bit misleading to paint the picture as if individuals got the lions share here.

Also there are additional benefits to large corporations not reflected in that $500b figure such as $210b in loosened tax deductions for interest and operating losses. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-usa-bi...
Jesus, that would make research papers easier. Historiography via pull requests and push comments? Yes!
Yeah all the interesting questions about what actually happened seem to be a mystery in this article.
The motivation driving these laws is E2E encryption that if implemented correctly are uncrackable. Today, pretty much everything is encrypted but since the provider has the keys they can access the messages. E2E encryption shifts the keys to the user which means that the provider has no access to the content of the message. They are theoretically uncrackable without the user's secret and when it's Apple, Google, Facebook, et.al. implementing the system and not some 2 bit criminal operation it will be uncrackable in practice.
Okay, you got me, he didn't self censor but he was talking about considering self censoring and chose not to. QED no one has ever self censored out of fear of reprisal.
It used to be a very good experience, both for the blogger and the reader. Unfortunately, they took on lots of VC funding (as if building a blogging platform was that difficult) without a clear and ethical path to profit and now have no choice but to be nasty to try and make money.
How is this not normal? Amazon offers great services, both for consumers and through the cloud. It makes total sense that their stock would continue to increase as more and more people use their services. Bezo's owns a lot of Amazon stock...so his wealth goes up. It's no different than with Gates or Jobs. Gates has just sold off a lot of his stock or donated it, and like with Jobs, had a lower ratio of stock ownership than Bezos. This is no different that any other time in period of company holdings.

Amazon certainly has its problems, and I'm a critic of it a lot...but they still offer services that are generally good for consumers, and that is something that drives its growth.
Why does it matter where they're from? If they're good, hire them before someone else does.

> That includes run-once scripts (where you might have used Perl in the past)

I never learned perl, but nearly every time I try to do something complex in bash (more than a dozen lines or so containing control flow) I regret it and end up rewriting it in python. Then the next time comes around and I go "I really should get better at shell scripting, I'll do that," and bash my head against the wall for a while then end up going back to python again.
I think that they meant "responsible of how you want to shape Life", and not "responsible for Bezos' wealth"
> I am quite sure than a good percentage of Mac users never use any other software than an internet browser.

Is that based on anything much, or is that just a bit of prejudice? Where I work its the PCs that are used as basic e-mail/word/browser machine - the Macs are used by people who are doing a bit more.
GP might be referring to "make -j 4" which allows controlled parallelism.
> Finally, there might be a lot going on right now, but why haven't companies outsourced sooner when there was nothing stopping them (even visas were easier to come by before Trump)? I believe they have contemplated it, and changed their minds for good reason.

Outsourcing to India is not trivial. It's a bit like outsourcing to China, where you _must_ have a deep understanding of the market and the players, so you don't get, well, duped. I have already gone through three different ventures where outsourcing to India didn't go too well, and it was commonly because the layer of management you end up dealing with, will say yes to whatever you ask them to do, regardless of time constraints or engineering talent.

Now, you made an interesting point regarding the current visa situation. See, I am myself a visa holder who came here from Europe, to work for a startup. The whole process was painfully hard. Even renewing the visa is a complex matter. Costs have gone up, and so have hurdles to get even the supposedly "easiest" kind of visa, which I believe must be a J1. My employer sure spent a lot of money on my L1.

It seems that some US engineers believe that their jobs are being "taken" from them by "unqualified", or "substandard", or "underpaid" immigrant engineers, and that getting a work permit in the US is something almost "trivial".

In reality, companies like Uber, Google, Microsoft, etc., will be shifting more jobs abroad, not because it is cheaper, as I think we must agree that the inherent complications of foreign teams may outweigh the potential savings, but because talent is _global_. And if they cannot have the required talent in home, they will surely look elsewhere.
It more-or-less worked that way for decades (and it worked better), so it’s not a terrible idea.

My theory is that the big distros are intentionally destroying forwards and backwards compatibility on the desktop as much as possible.

The more often window managers, desktop software, etc., stop working, the less their own teams have to compete with existing software. Wayland’s X11-as-a-second-class-citizen and gtk’s elimination of API stability are two other good examples of this.

Also, tearing down established standards is a great way to sabotage the various BSD’s out there.

What they don’t get is that sabotaging the rest of the community is undermining their own market share within Linux, even as it shrinks Linux’s market share.
No, Renaissance Technologies Did Not Lose 20%
That's a horrible bar to be deciding who gets a bailout. By that logic, perhaps he should eliminate the safety net because handing out money to poor people isn't "profitable".
From the show’s summary it seems like this is going to end up being disgusting billionaire worship.

The hope of running into a billionaire and having it change your life is not much different than buying a lotto ticket.

Running into a billionaire isn’t going to do jack shit to your life. The household name billionaires heard it all from passers by and don’t pay any attention to the little people. What are you gonna do, run up with a slide deck to pitch your jump to conclusions mat?

Billionaires don’t live in the same world we do, literally. They have people get things for them. They live in gated communities you cannot access. They vacation on yachts and private islands you cannot see. They go to Lakers games in private box seats with a back entrance. They are members of clubs and gyms you are not allowed to join, even if you could afford it.

What do you do if you see Jeff Bezos scarfing down an Egg McMuffin? Nothing. What he’s doing in public is none of your business. He doesn’t know you or care what you have to say.
I would love to know what goes on in someone's head when they could use their money to massively improve the lives of millions of poor or un-privileged people, or even save them from a premature and/or painful death, withough ever noticing the difference in your quality of life. But they don't.

Urban Gilgamesh: What the earliest epic tells us about living in an ancient city
I'm also curious about metrics on racial bias of police. From what I've seen (in other studies, I've not yet looked at this one) shootings don't look immediately biased. However I often hear how biased police are in their attention towards minorities. But I'm unsure how to quantify that, or what metrics we can use to research that.
What is the alternative? For people not to own the things they create?
Police in the USA literally toss hand grenades into the cribs of sleeping babies. It is not a question of race, white or black they will come for you and they will injure or kill your children.

Sv is high cost of living because the people want it to be. It is well known in ecconmics how to make most of their costs lower, but they have spent years fighting those things. They get the good and bad side of high cost of living. (yimby says they want to change, but I don't know if they really want it, or just want a minor change, or even yes in the backyard across town)

I live in a low cost of living area and get the good and bad of my choices.

It's used for testing. (At least that was the rationale given for the NTP default setting, I guess the same applies for DNS too.)

Of course the problem lies in that the rich and powerful have an immense amount of sway in what is defined as the "fair share of taxes" they have to pay.
I find in nearly all cases, if you invert the causality and the results make more sense, you can ignore a paper.

> I am assuming you don't know a single person in the 40% that don't have $400 saved up for emergencies.

This is an oft misunderstood stat[1][2]. The actual stats from the survey show that 61% of Americans would choose to pay a surprise $400 bill in cash. The remaining people would prefer to use a credit card or other ways of paying. Only around 12% of respondents said they would actually have a hard time paying the bill.

> Ok, so they have a conflict of interest in the matter (25% of Americans have no retirement). Of those with a 401K aged 35-44 the median balance is $22k (so its pretty much a wash for them). Then on the very harsh side of things, the free market side, you risked your money by investing, if a portion of your portfolio includes stock in overvalued companies with runaway P/E ratios that didn't have cash reserves to whether the storm, you invested poorly and you should expect taxpayers to bailout your poor investments.

I think you're moving the goalposts a bit. I could just as easily say "Why should tax payers bail out your poorly chosen career? Just work from home." The point my parent was making is that $6T was allocated for relief but too much of it went to the stock market. My point is that stimulating the stock market has benefits for all. The individual checks sent out should have been bigger, but the question is "Money has been allocated for relief, should a significant amount go towards the stock market?" and the answer is definitely "yes".

If you believe the government should not "bail out" citizens when they need it, that's fine, but be consistent.

Correction: investors from all over the globe value the shares in Bezos' possession at 172B.

These investors could also arbitrarily declare these shares as worthless (theoretically), and Bezos' net worth would crater to only consist of his leftover cash and physical assets in his possession - real estate, art, cars, etc.

I don't see any reason (except for juicing their valuation) to consider Uber as a software company. Their product is not software: it's taxi cabs.

A ride hailing app is more or less a commodity, see all the Uber clones out there: Lyft, Gett, Arro, Flywheel, Kapten...

That's the power of leverage. Good for him. He is one of the greatest investors of all time, just only investing in growth of his own company.

I don't think any human needs that kind of wealth, but I also don't begrudge him of it. He earned it.

The problem with society is not that there are rich people - there always have been and always will be. It's in fact a sign of a healthy economy. If you have no inequality, it also means you have no growth or innovation - everyone is equally poor. Cuba and Soviet Russia tried to be examples of this kind of society, and few would argue they are desirable models to emulate.

The problem is rather the number of people who can't find steady employment, earn a livable wage, and take care of the basic necessities of food, shelter, and health. That does need to be addressed, and the sooner the better.

Shootings are both extreme enough and infrequent enough (though still all too frequent) that one could plausibly assemble a nearly complete national dataset, plus they are more likely to get covered in the news/on social media.
