A lot of algorithms and data structures are not cache aware and assume that all memory operations have the same cost.

You're going to regret this post when a world leaders twitter says: "Nukes Incoming, hide yo kids, hide yo wives" one day...
This would be super neat. There's got to be a big enough cross section of craft product business owners & sailors that would at least have interest in buying into this.
This is false. Redlining and racist covenants predate Brown by decades.
Well, that's _part_ of why, but the fundamental reason is that NI is the rump of the Kingdom of Ireland within the UK, which, like Scotland, preserved a separate legal system even after political union with the UK brought about through the 1800 Act of Union.

[Aside: An interesting consequence of this is that England lacks a legal and political identity separate from the UK as the UK is an _extension_ of the Kingdom of England. Another interesting this is that even though it was part of the Kingdom of England, Wales _does_ have a legal and political identity because there are acts of parliament that _explicitly_ refer to it. The UK is a constitutionally odd country.]
Cancel culture is about making sure people you disagree with (and their dependants) are out of jobs.

Pressing companies to fire people for their political views should be a crime. The judicial system is meant for punishing people, not a pile-on of twitter users.

Over here in The Netherlands it is illegal to fire employees for their political views. Although that law is increasingly ineffective because of the huge (biggest in EU) growth of contract workers.
Do that many accounts use the same social media manager?
Disclaimer: I work on SP-grade routers at Cisco.

The secret sauce has nothing to do with router size, but rather port density, bandwidth, and feature scale. For instance, Cisco’s latest generation of routers, the Cisco 8000 series, gets you 10.8 Tbps in a 1 RU fixed form factor.

What larger routers do provide is hardware redundancy, which is important when it comes to minimizing downtime.

No, it's hacker's doing, they need to keep timestamps updated
I can't believe Twitter haven't managed to stop this yet!

I don't think Twitter itself knows yet.
In the article it shows the tweet isn't a bitcoin address, its just a link to another site which presumably has the actual scam.
Awesome work! Thanks so much, should've definitely been mentioned in the post.
Do residents never get in the elevator with other tenants of the building? It would feel odd to open my door to complete strangers like that just because the elevator stopped on my floor before theirs.

> the service is likely more reliable

I've seen about ten major Office 365 outages since my last major Exchange upgrade? I don't know how beliefs about cloud service uptime being good persist unless your IT staff were really, really bad at their jobs. My house is more stable than a MS datacenter. And by and large, I actually like Microsoft.
No way, it's way too widepread and would be shut down by now.

Elon Musk, Barack Obama and Wiz Khalifa just tweeted the scam again this very minute, more than an hour since it started. This is backend access, Twitter can't figure out how to shut it down.
Does that make it election interference?

For whatever it's worth we didn't have a man in line, we had nobody in line. But we had pressure to hire this person because it would increase the representation and the expectation was that we'd be able to train her on the job.
JD Power seems like the Gartner of automotive.
Then they'll just start obscuring addresses by interspersing them with spaces or posting links to third-party sites containing the address.

It's an unending game of cat and mouse. IMO Twitter's efforts at this point are much better spent on finding out how the hack occurred and cutting it off at the source.
Your perspective is a very weird American one where the response has been one giant failure, whether you think lockdowns are great or not.

Others are doing much better. There are hardly any new cases in, say, Germany, with by now extremely minimal measures and no lockdown.

Your epic texts seem to come from a weird parallel world.
Probably true - though there's already a ton of short interest in the company. Seems like you could take a few million in profits and still blend in fairly seamlessly.
> What you're leaving out, in Canada's case, is that the norm is a strict party-line vote.

No, I'm not. The concept of a party whip literally invented where I'm from. I'm very much familiar with it.
I don’t think I’ve ever looked forwards to a postmortem so much, so many possibilities.
Initially, the job board will show all remote jobs that Australian’s can apply for meaning the companies could be from anywhere. So the answer to your question is yes BUT it depends on the company and their specific requirements. For example there is a bunch of jobs live on the board right now that are open to anyone from anywhere. Hope that helps.

I was wondering about that. I owed a Dodge in the 90s and was amazed to see Dodge today at the top of the list. I was ready to consider either that my "never again" philosophy to the brand needed an update or that the survey was a bit suspect.
We can't be sure, but based on the french independent nuclear authority, this does not look to be accurate. Just the dramatized version of a German anti-nuclear group:

https://www.lemonde.fr/planete/article/2016/03/04/un-inciden...

It is in French, but it is saying that nothing was out of control and out of ordinary small issues. The temperature was a little bit out of the normal during the operations but that is quite common. And they used Boron because it was the adequate procedure in this case but again not out of ordinary. They decided to not use the control rodes that were not operating 'automaticaly' because of the disruption of the flooded system. But manual control was still available if they wanted to.
And at the same time, like in a space shuttle, every electric control circuits are mirrored for safety. So the control room A was affected by the flooding but the control room B and the B circuits were ok, unaffected and operational as designed!
And then there's the converse - when e.g. Iranian and Arab immigrants are shamed for legitimately criticizing religious-based oppression in their societies, because their criticism - with extra weight lent to it by their background - supposedly fuels Islamophobia in the West; and is thus a form of cultural imperialism that they're expected to not partake in, regardless of the reality of oppression that they talk about, or their own personal experience in that regard.

The most famous example is probably Maajid Nawaz - a former member of Hizb ut-Tahrir who renounced his extremist views, and since then has been actively criticizing political Islamism (of both violent and non-violent variety), while remaining a practicing Muslim. Despite that last fact, he was identified as an "anti-Muslim extremist" by SPLC - and they only retracted this after a massive outcry.
At this point I'd advocate for a huge red button or a gong that someone can smash and it just halts the platform

Ask Jimmy Hoffa.
Maybe a front end/OAuth issue - those are not uncommon either. Will be interesting to learn more.

Also begs the question, who is liable in such cases....
I can't see that bill gates, Elon musk and every cryptocurrency channel using the same manager. This looks like something closer to a Twitter hack than an intermediary, especially with the the reposting after deletion.
Obama https://twitter.com/BarackObama/status/1283515490653147139

Also:
- Musk
- Bill Gates
- Apple
- Uber
- Jeff Bezos
- Joe Biden
- MrBeast
Not that it changes your point, but hacking Musk's account to tweet wrong info about TSLA would be fraud, not insider trading, since they're not actually an insider. Either way, OTM options is a dumb way to profit on fraud or insider trading.
Awesome. So we can just scroll to the bottom and fish out some of the truths visitors from the future better be careful not to say.
Penetration Testing and Remote Work: What You Need to Know
If you think the founders have an unfair advantage, why don’t you go ahead, become one and lead by example?

The world needs more founders anyway. They are the ones who created the amazing wealth we are enjoying right now, not the politicians, bureaucrats, regulators or commissioners.
One wonders if that specific account has some unique exemption in the Twitter code to specifically deal with it.
Hey, yes this is in our plans! Might fast track it now you have asked for it ;-)
We need to do away with the downvote button. A simple reporting button for trolling suffices.
Probably not. A lot of accounts with hardly any followers are also tweeting the scam. Search the bitcoin address to see the tweets in real time.
They're clearly trying to avoid the risk of being tracked. For example, they could have done stock manipulation and made more money. Trump is someone with the power and craziness to spend a hundred million tracking you down and literally dropping bombs on your head. So it'd be poor risk management to go after his account.
It would be cheaper for twitter to refund every person 10x what they sent than to shut down the entire site.
Surely a hack of this magnitude would be on the radar of many of those agencies already.
It is now. Twitter has made all new apps by application only. A bunch of folks lost their “just for one” ones last year to this.
> As with everything, it would seem that the truth is somewhere in-between.

I hate this sentiment. I agree it's largely true, but it makes a large difference whether that `correct point' is halfway in between or 95% on one side.

Whether your intention or not, naively suggesting the truth is in the middle without any further clarification comes across as a cheap political ploy.
The ones I saw from Musk, Buffett etc had the actual address.
But when you post a tweet via api, the tweet will include the app's name at the bottom? The screenshot in the article has "Twitter Web App" at the bottom.
Introduction to Reverse Engineering with Ghidra
and Obama https://twitter.com/BarackObama/status/1283515490653147139
It's common to "seed the tip jar" by transferring some of your own BTC from another wallet to the public facing one. So that number should be treated like a ceiling.
It's probably because the subset of people who would fall for it likely don't have BTC.
I'm grad age (22), but I dropped out of uni. I don't understand how people get anything done if they only spend 1-2hrs on it. It takes me that long to get into a flow state and become productive, then ideally I would spend at least 3-4 more hours working productively. Based on the article, I definitely fall into the Monastic category.

> Once they graduate and have to sit in one place and work on one thing for 8 hours a day, many of them struggle.

Funnily enough, I'm finding that a work environment isn't actually very conducive with doing work. I spend most of my day being distracted with very little opportunity to focus on something.

> If I try to lecture them on the importance of sustained focus and minimizing distractions, I sound like an out of touch old guy. If I instead say "Hey, we practice Deep Work here. Let me get you a copy of a Deep Work book so you can join us" then they're on board

I would have the opposite reaction. "Deep Work" is cringy, but if you said "we value sustained focus and minimizing distractions" I would be very interested.
When I read the title my first thought was "Scientists found complete assembly language of human Xchromosome".
You'd think a 0day like that would be worth much more than the BTC they're going to receive.

> Imagine if the hackers timed the intrusion during github outage, and twitter's employees can't deploy a fix for the exploit fast enough because github was down!

Imagine that. At that point it would be more secure to self-host the code off of GitHub to push that critical fix Twitter sorely needs right now.

Its still on going as we type.
Kinda similar to like under a gold standard you don't actually pay with gold. You can, but most people just use centralised "wrappers" around gold in the form of bank notes.
Yeah this is nuts. Clearly something on the backend is broken, Obama just tweeted it out too.
Or the Nokia N9

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N9
We really need a DoNotTrack-like standard for application telemetry so that sysadmins and the privacy conscious can just set some environment variable like NO_TELEMETRY to a nonempty string and not worry about it. Packages would still have to be audited and shamed for not respecting NO_TELEMETRY but thats no worse an obstacle that has faced homedirs.

Developers can get that sweet sweet telemetry by default and those that care can just set a var in ~/.profile and be done with it.
Just tweet it yourself. Who will know?
Obama just tweeted out the same thing. It seems all of twitter has been hacked. The post mortem will sure be interesting. Also interested in how TWTR gets affected.
College Students with ADHD Can Manage Stress
There are some experiments with solar on boats for propulsion. Most recently I saw a 40' catamaran in Canada with about 4kw of solar, replacing the sails. The owner is claiming about sustained 60-70 miles a day during the long summer months there.

The catamaran has relatively low displacement however, compared to both traditional sailboats and freight ships.

Norway has been experimenting with battery powered ferries to make short, sub-10 mile trips, with good success. The main problem they've seen is that the power required to recharge the batteries can overwhelm local power supplies, so they've added industrial size capacitors to assist with fast charging.

I don't see 700'+ container ships being converted to solar without a complete redesign/rethink of their systems. Typically solar panels are mounted above the ship, and on a container ship, the containers are craned into the hold through the same airspace that any solar panels would occupy.
It's a wide enough range of accounts that it's most likely an internal admin panel.

Special protected accounts (e.g., Trump's) seem unaffected, whereas hundreds (thousands?) of "regular" accounts, high profile and small, are compromised.
Looks like they started dropping touchscreens in 2019:

I wonder what the automated trading bots tracking these accounts did.

Will Twitter get sued by the people who fell for this scam? By the people who got hacked?
Get the popcorn!
At some point we had a brilliant junior dev who had a task to add some logic to some ES plugins in Java. When the code review went up, it was all a single Java 8 stream statement. He went out of his way to convert everything to a stream because he enjoyed the challenge I guess. It was 3 pages of nested declarations and inscrutable.

He left eventually but person was hard to work with because you had to beat back this kind of shenanigans every step of the way.
The worst part is that we know people would believe it because that sounds very much like something Trump would actually do.
Derek Lowe's blog (linked by jhayward, thanks) has a good rundown of the recent T Cell research and what it means in general: https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2020/07/15/ne...

But, he (and the paper authors!) seem to skim right over what might be the most important conclusion:

> Recognition of the nsp7 and nsp13 proteins is prominent, ~as well as the N protein~. And when they looked at that nsp7 response, it turns out that the T cells are recognizing particular protein regions that have low homology to those found in the “common cold” coronaviruses – but do have very high homology to various animal coronaviruses.

This "NP" or "nucleocapsid protein" has high homology to "common cold" human betacoronaviruses (OC43 and HKU1), so this basically means that previous exposure to these colds should confer some degree of immunity to SARS-CoV-2. The novel result that everyone seems to be dwelling on is interesting too, it raises the possibility that coronaviruses are transmitted from animals to humans more often than had been previously thought.
Naval is wrong because fiat will be harder to launder while bitcoin is borderless censorship-resistant money.
Your site is getting hacked, you don't know how the hackers are doing it, what do you do ops wise? Take the whole site down for a few hours? Because the entire platform is compromised, how do you handle that?
Could be front end, since all of these cite "Twitter Web App" as the source. Never anything else (unless you're a low-follower troll).
Having seen first hand how HN cast judgement on anyone speaking out against Elizabeth Holmes, and really any 1) woman or 2) minority, and seeing people going so far to feign outrage with comments like "What the fuck? I can't believe this is tolerated on Hacker News", I'm partial to this whole thing.

On one hand, we should be standing up and saying "Hold on, regardless of what trifle thing triggered you today, that person might have a point"; on the other hand, if an institution, community, or website cannot defend themselves against this pithy nonsense, then I don't see a reason to bother with it at all. On HN in particular, the voting system is dumb and allows for imbecile mobbing, but never mind that.

>Reached at his home on Cape Cod, Professor Pinker, 65, noted that as a tenured faculty member and established author, he could weather the campaign against him. But he said it could chill junior faculty who hold views counter to prevailing intellectual currents.

I guess a third option exists which is the one that Mr. Pinker has chosen to pursue, which is to simply not give a fuck.

I quite like that.
What makes you think they have not bet on stock as well?

CtR is this containerized install-from-web platform that Microsoft came up with for .NET applications. Yeah, it's actually a lot of years old. But generally speaking, if you get an Office disc or ISO file (say, from Microsoft's Volume Licensing Center), and install it, you get a traditional Office install that gets serviced via KB downloads from Windows Update. If you get Office via a web download from office.com, you get CtR, which self-updates itself sort of like modern web browsers.

A huge difference for business is that Windows Update allows you to approve/deny updates and cache them on a local server with WSUS, whereas CtR leaves each machine to go talk with Microsoft amongst itself on what to install and mostly cuts your IT staff out of the loop.
Users of the middleware likely want to hide the fact that they're scheduling their tweets, I would imagine the tool sets this value explicitly to have the tweets appear more genuine. </postulating>
Could you please enlighten us about this "poison pill" link?
Referring to that happening in the US too or just abroad?
You could certainly make that argument but with a multinational company with sales in every country it's not exactly obvious where the money is "made":

Scenario A: Apple (USA) pays $200 for an assembled iPhone from their Chinese manufacturer. Then they turn around and sell the phone to Apple (Europe) for $1000. Apple (Europe) then sells the phone to a customer for $1000. Apple (USA) records a profit of $800, Apple (Europe) records a profit of $0.

Scenarion B: Apple (USA) pays $200 for an assembled iPhone from their Chinese manufacturer. Then they turn around and sell the phone to Apple (Europe) for $200. Apple (Europe) then sells the phone to a customer for $1000. Apple (USA) records a profit of $0, Apple (Europe) records a profit of $800.

In scenario A the money is "made" in the USA. In scenario B the money is "made" in Europe. Apple argues that since they are paying taxes on that money in the USA, they shouldn't have to double-pay taxes to Europe as well. Europe disagrees because they want a slice of those taxes.

(Note that no complex IP transfer schemes are involved here, it's solely a question of which entity records the difference in the retail price of the phone vs the cost of goods sold. Also note that in either case, sales tax/VAT is paid to the appropriate country.)
It's a dupe of a subject already on the front page. You had the later timestamp (check the Fid parameter).
I could imagine a faked tweet attributed to Trump that could immediately begin mobilization in other countries to prepare for war. There are several fake tweets from the Bezon/Musk I could imagine that could credibly send the stock price of AMZN down by 10%, TSLA down by 50% in a matter of minutes.

Attacker(s) could profit immensely if they had leveraged short positions cleverly placed.

Users losing a few hundred thousand is getting off light considering the severity of this attack and how much worse it could have been.
tons of account hacked. like every single high profile account hacked. either inside job or major exploit
It's also sort of ironic how studies repeatedly show high preforming teams, are cognitively diverse teams. Even though research shows this, the hiring strategy of most technology companies, is hiring new employees with the same skills, and traits, as current employees.
