As a comparison, a homeless mother who deliberately enrolled her 5-year-old in the wrong school district was sentenced to 5 years in prison: https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/mom-went-prison-enrolling-he...

I would argue that the kind of bribery at the heart of this case is considerably worse, as it fosters a mentality that everything is for sale at the right price.
An implied point was that the current strategy of destabilization of the underbelly of Asia [1] is distinct from the post-WW2 "Atlantic Charter" [2].

US had no interest in a destablized Iran in 1953. Far from it, it was clearly understood that the highly organized Tudeh Party (literally "masses" and the Moscow sanctioned and directed (literally) Communist Party of Iran) would eat and chew out Mossadegh without much effort. Iran's military, for example, was also highly penetrated with Tudeh officers.

So the issue is not Dr. Mossadegh's merits as a politician, an Iranian nationalist, or even simply a human being. The issue is the strange distortion of this "history" that very clearly not only deligitimizes the Pahlavi dynasty, but also has provided the 'background story' for the song and dance of Iran vs. USA "because America destroyed our chance at democracy" nonsense. USA was quite happy to see the Shah of Iran leave in 1979. Have no doubt about that.

And we know why: Because the Trilateral Commission's plan for "arc of instability" needed to get going, and you will note that the exit stage of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi of Iran was the opening act of the next 40 years of mayham in the so-called Middle East, including by some accounts nearly a million dead Iranians in the Iran-Iraq war.

> If you look around, there a lots of articles about problems when delivery systems are used to transport ammonia, and then propane.

That's most likely related to meth production. They steal anhydrous ammonia (usually from farmers) and try storing it in propane tanks which are not designed for that. The tanks corrode or crack and then leak or explode.

I've also heard of farmers crashing their tractors into ammonia tanks or train cars of ammonia derailing, but generally speaking, the storage and transportation of ammonia is a solved problem. It's been used for industrial purposes for around 100 years and for agriculture since the 1950s. Based on on what the article said about NOx pollution and aftertreatment systems it's unlikely it will ever be viable for autos or any personal use where safety or risks are more of a concern than they are currently.

Actually you are both right. Bug bounty programs are extremely effective because they find serious vulnerabilities for vastly less than the damages you would expect if they were exploited. However, the fact that the bug bounties are so low indicates that the prevailing security is atrocious.

To explain, generally speaking a bug bounty is going to the smaller of:

1. Cost of Discovery since that is the amount someone would be willing to find bugs at otherwise they are losing money on each bounty they get.

2. Cost of Damage (risk-adjusted) since that is the most a company would be willing to pay.

The reason for this is that as long as the Cost of Discovery is lower than the Cost of Damage (up to ROI), it is reasonable to keep paying the Cost of Discovery since you are paying less than the risk-adjusted harm. But, there is also no point paying significantly more than the Cost of Discovery as long as people keep reporting problems as fast as you can fix them since there is no real reason to pay to get more problems than you can fix. So, to first order the bug bounty for a certain type of problem reflects the cost of discovery of that type of problem.

Circling back to the original point, we see problems that can cause millions in damages getting bug bounties on the order of $10K. This means that, to first order, million dollar attacks only cost $10K to execute which results in a crazy high ROI in the 100s. With an ROI in the 100s, it should be no wonder that such attacks have been increasing in frequency given their sheer profitability. The fact that bounties are so low for such critical problems is a major indictment on the prevailing level of security in the industry.
That's not true, it's also discovery, trust and an ecosystem to run your apps in.

Calling the app store just payment processing is a ridiculous simplification.

Epic's store charges 12%, but has neither the hardware platform, or software platform - and relatively little market share.

They arguably should be charging ~5% since it's actually closer to just payment processing and delivery.
Some problems are only thought about when they start to hit you and I guess this is one of them.

Also if a startup ends up getting VC funding in an other country it can move there unlike a farm or a plumbing business.
We're not saying Firefox isn't being maintained, we're saying donations don't go to Firefox, they go to the foundation which is also apparently funded by Firefox. Something really needs to change... We shouldn't have heard about basically what is crucial for developers being scrapped to keep the show running.
Especially if your poll is showing extremely lopsided results.

If a poll shows 80% for candidate A, you’d only need to hit 62.5% of the population to guarantee that candidate A would hit 50% of the vote even if the remaining 47.5% voted for other candidates.
Technically, they are being prosecuted for paying off somebody who was not entitled to give their children preferential admissions treatment, while if you're donating to the university, they ARE entitled to give preferential treatment.

But I agree, on a moral level, that legacy admissions are an odious practice, and particularly so when tied to donations.

Long story short, donations to the Mozilla Foundation go to the Foundation, while Firefox, MDN, and others are managed by the Mozilla Corporation (a subsidiary of the Foundation).

If they are trying to set a precedent in the courts, it makes sense to go after the most winnable case, and then try to use that ruling to win others. So it would not be Android, where alternative app stores and side loading are permitted, and not the consoles, where the manufacturers will argue they are not providing a general-purpose device. iPhone and even more so iPads are the ideal targets for lawsuits that aim to set precedents.
Also, you lie and move the goal posts. You really should say that you don’t wanna pay your employees. Fine by me, but be frank about it.
I know I’ll be downvoted here, but the truth is this guy doesn’t want to pay his employees and pretends it’s because of additional costs that burden him. He’d rather give them more, if only they were able to spend responsibly.
Yet, he doesn’t know the first thing about taxes, fees and lumps them together.
I welcome disagreements, but I wish un readers were slightly more rigorous.
I think we have a new champion in the unofficial HN useless-headline contest.
While the charges are absurd people need to stop referencing this case. She was given 5 years for the drug charges so the judge tacked on a concurrent 5 year sentence for the school charges. It has no material impact. If she didn't have the drug charges she wouldn't have been given that sentence.
So the same reason programmers don't document our code? We don't realize that without communicating our work, others can't make use of it. I think this is even more true in science than in programming.
Is it the case that they are doing something particularly egregious now? Or are they being consistent with the rules for the app store that they've long had established?
> The exception is with unusual unit compositions

Could be wrong, but I believe this is actually a case-in-point moment for the other side. AI as it exists now is flummoxed by unfamiliar input, whereas a human expert is more likely to be able to react in a way that is at least directionally correct.

Put another way, if AlphaStar is confronted with a Terran opponent that can build Zerg units, how likely would it be to win the game? How likely would an expert human be to win that game?
They’re also making a late push in a tight market without real differentiation (the exclusives like you said) so from a market standpoint it’s one of the last options. There’s legitimately no other reason to have that store installed other than having been forced to, so giving people a monetary break is kinda the least you could do.

Special treatment may have exposed Apple to even worse antitrust liability. It is clear from their messaging that it is critical that they maintain the appearance of treating all developers the same. Tim Cook heavily emphasized this point in his recent Congressional testimony.

I'm not trolling you, I'm exhorting you to stop pushing extra frameworks for things that there should not be frameworks for.

The issue is not that one or another approach is always better, it's that the entire act of lobbing another framework onto the stack that a dev has to familiarize themselves with only adds to the confusion.

Rails worked because it contained everything in one package. The success of that model poisoned everybody's mind into believing there had to be "opinionated" frameworks to manage other (extremely simple) frameworks and has contributed greatly to the mire of misdirection that is modern front end development.

It's a case of not even wrong.
It's for the access to Apple's consumers. I refuse to buy any app/subscription outside App Store because I have had a terrible experience with companies like Blinkist.
> 1. Cost of Discovery since that is the amount someone would be willing to find bugs at otherwise they are losing money on each bounty they get.

This is probably the biggest issue in terms of incentives to a researcher. You're either finding the bug by accident or out of curiosity, or you stop short of basically losing money you would otherwise earn going a paid audit.

I'm sure it depends on revenue, the amount of personal data, and the nature of the business. I don't know how the rates are calculated but I've helped fill out the paperwork on a few applications and it's not dissimilar to what you might have to go through to become an approved technology partner with a Fortune 100 company. Do you have a disaster recovery policy? If so, when was it last tested? Do you get pen tests? What was the result of the last one? Are there any open items?

Keep in mind that you don't need to necessarily "prove" things that can be checked later. The insurance company is happy to take your word that there's no PCI card data on your network and cash your premiums. If there is and it gets stolen in a hack they simply won't pay out.
Yes but "bribing" the college directly with donations subsidizes the cost of tuition for everyone else. Students don't benefit if the donations go to middlemen instead.

Unpopular opinion that I hold: The walled garden is exactly why I love Apple's iPhone. iPhone keeps the rifraff away, third-party sniffers at check, they've recently added clipboard notification if some app tries to paste random stuff from my clipboard (given that we use it so much for 1Password and other password managers).

I absolutely do not trust any third party - there are some insane apps like LinkedIn that tries to sell your privacy at every corner.

That said, Apple should allow Jailbreaking to aficionados who want to mess around with it. But, there should be significant impedance to that - your average joe working as a bartender doesn't have a clue of how to keep his iPhone secure. Apple should make it explicitly clear - hey! ALL BETS ARE OFF WHEN YOU JAILBREAK OUR DEVICE. CLICK AGREE.

> On the one hand, sure Apple should be able to make a cut on their app store

Apple makes a cut: they charge developers a not insignificant yearly fee of 99 USD per seat, they sell iOS devices and services at great profit, they happily earn 15-30% from in-app purchases and subscriptions wherever developers choose to use those features, they earn 30% on any apps that choose to be paid, and they reserve the right to set a minimum price if free apps inconvenience them. (But free apps very much do not inconvenience them, ever, and this idea that they do and Apple of all companies is doing all this from the goodness of their hearts is a disease).

The only reason Apple needs more of a cut here is because their shareholders would probably sue them if they stopped.
Apple takes 30% for in-app sales. People already have the app, there is no discovery or trust benefit. The App Store is awful for discovery anyway. You think we need the App Store to discover the Facebook app, Amazon app, Epic app? These apps spread by network effects, not discovery in the store.

Users pay for the hardware platform.

First, we don't know whether the children of the guilty were kicked out of school.

So, the only victims here are students and athletes who lost an earned spot in university. But they don't have any agency here.

The universities administration has no skin in the game - they get paid, the endowments are bountiful, and the professors keep on suffering on. There may even be a backslaps and high five deal to recapture any "lost" income.

The guilty here are resourceful and powerful, so really, the court case is more of a negotiation at best. Kiss the hand of the king and receive a small slap on the wrist sort of a deal.
