Guy I know owned (owns) a music store. In the late 90s, he thought he knew were things were going. He started saving up for his pension, thinking that by 2015 or so no one would be buying cds anymore.

Now, he says, his music store is doing better than ever. He was correct in that no one buys cds anymore, but vinyl is selling like crazy. The store, which has always been popular ever since the 1980s, is making crazy amounts of money and his pension is becoming very comfortable.

Only thing he can’t come to terms with, however, is that his younger patrons for some reason insist on buying Dire Straits records. He can’t for the life of him figure out how something that used to be a signifier of having absolutely no taste in music has become so popular with music connoisseurs.

I'm using a similar technique, but rather generating a random address @my-domain.

To know which provider it was (in case I later get spam from somewhere else), I keep a text-file + email myself any time a new forwarder is set up, so this way I can always look up which service it was.

This way, I was able to spot a leak at box.com and maybe a couple of other places, before it was even announced.

My comment was a reaction to the following statement. It is true that you should absolutely use the cheapest MCU ignoring the development cost if you are targeting to manufacture millions of those:

> and that 5 USD became a huge cost increase for my overall system.
I wonder if it's the industry itself. Maybe you need to have sex appeal so that the main record purchasing generation (18-24) would buy your stuff?
> Couldn't you simply put the next hop's MAC address (instead of IP address) into the routing table and be able to route packets just as well, with a lot less complexity?

One reason why using an IP is still important is the IP can move to a different router, so the MAC for that IP can change. Eg if a hardware swapout was performed, or the network admin manually moved the IP, or some HA system that dynamically moves IPs to other routers (and isn’t VRRP, which uses a virtual MAC).

Usability: it’s a lot easier imo to read a routing table with IP next hop than MAC as you don’t have to remember what MAC every machine is. The IP also conveys visually which port the traffic is (probably) going out. Eg
Port 1 - 192.168.1.0/24
Port 2 - 192.168.2.0/24

If my next hop for 1.1.1.1 is via 192.168.2.254 I know immediately it’s going out port 2. If it was a MAC I’d have no clue unless I memorised all MACs in my networks.
That's actually not an equivalent. If you're going to bitch and try to diminish someone's achievement then at least do them the favor of reading the article and understanding what makes it unique.
Critical mass of the audience, most likely. Early to mid 20s overlaps when people are most willing and able to form their musical and artistic identities as consumers of content.

It's pretty rare to see people older than their mid 20s hanging out in new/hot venues with the latest artists trying to build a following and living/breathing their craft. There's only so many years you can pull it off both as a member of the audience and a creator.

A few years ago I was a minor artist (more a hanger-on than anything) in the EDM scene of a major city for that back when it was the hot thing, and was around a few folks that made it. It couldn't have happened for people in their late 20s or older. That particular grind requires of fueling 18-22 year-olds appetite for drugs, alcohol, and rhythm from Thursday through Sunday, every week of the year. When you factor in the reality of rent and other costs of living, dueling roles as promoter, party goer, content creator, and performer, it really is not sustainable unless you're the azimuth of your craft and an age where you can balance those costs against your future.
If you are going to create a strawman at least get it right. The rainforests are being burned to grow soybeans, not corn.
> We cannot make productive arguments about anti-trust law!

The entire discussion of all of this, is about anti-trust law....

Also, we can absolutely make reasoned judgements on things, based on the evidence.

I am not sure why people have a tendency to think that law, precedent, and court cases are somehow completely impenetrable to people who have not spent decades of their life studying it.

In fact, speaking as someone who has read the legal documents in this court case, as well as attended the public zoom call court case (The epic vs apple trial is public! You, yourself can listen in on it in a zoom call!), what I can tell you is that the arguments that people are making are not complicated legalese. Instead, the lawyers and judges are making reasonable, and understandable arguments, that are pretty easy to follow along.

In fact, our entire justice system is built on the concept of juries, which are full of people who are not legal professionals, just like you and I, who decide based on listening to the arguments, and making a judgement themself on who was right or wrong.

If a jury is entrusted with the legal power, to determine the outcome of our justice system, then I think it is ok for individuals, who have listened to the trials, read the court documents, and done research on the law, to make reasonable judgements themselves on the matter, when having casual conversations regarding the topic.

> But it seems unlikely

For which you provided poor supporting arguments.

> answer the questions I asked

You tried to ignore the main point that I was trying to make, regarding anti-trust law, for which I providing well reasoned arguments, and you tried to ignore it by engaging in what was effectively an implied ad hominem by trying to attack me based on perceived (and false!) notion regarding how much I may or may not use certain devices.

You even literally used the word "character" to describe this. Which was effective admitting that you were not attacking the substance of my comment, but were instead trying to investigate my "character".

I reject that. When you cannot respond to the substance of someone comments, I do not think it is valid to try and switch things up by interrogating someone's character, based on false perceived notions of their character or experience.

With vulnerabilities like these, there is a big problem in my opinion. Who actually ever reports these?

The thing with vulnerabilities like describes in the post is that they are SO EASY that you dont need any special infosec expertise. All you need is to be able to install a program and use a REST api

I would go as far as to say that this can almost be described as an open database. The API completely exposed anything.

But how would Giggle find out about this if not for the OP? Their own engineers were either oblivious to any security practices because they are beginners, or they were ignorant about them (or didnt get enough money to actually care).

A company like this will NEVER hire a pentesting company.

The kind of company that does actually pay for pentests however, are very unlikely to have vulnerabilities that trivially exploited.

Which leaves us with only two groups that will care about stuff like this: Cyber-Criminals and Hobby Hackers.

The former will gladly pick that low hanging fruit for them, while the latter has time and time again experienced abuse by the people they reported vulnerabilities to. (Free of Charge of course).

What do you do? Drop an anonymous hint at your CERT? Those will get ignored because they are anonymous are they not? Do you give your full name? Thats dangerous too. The case of Alberto Hill[0] highlights this.

In the U.S., at least at the federal level, laws don’t have titles. Bills (legislation) have titles but those are not the laws; they merely direct the government how to change the laws. The law at the federal level is simply called the U.S. Code. It is divided into sections with very plain and obvious names.
Isn't an overly complex equity package just lesser compensation? If someone feels like they're disadvantaged by the company right off the bat, they shouldn't take the job. Or they should negotiate a higher salary to make up for the (unusable?) equity compensation.
Civics, Morality, Humanity, Spirituality are the 'foundations' of society.

Laws are just a rough, codified implementation of those.

It's an odd misconception that we believe laws govern society, they're mostly just there around the edges.

If the 'laws against murder' were really the only thing keeping us from murdering, we'd have all been dead long ago.

Making something 'illegal' doesn't necessarily change civil society a whole lot. What 'changes' us are our beliefs and ultimately behaviours.
I just have to say this "magnets how do they work"? ;) Anyone get the reference?

ABI compatability baby. Those signatures gotta match up for sure. Once you have that, the underlying guts of the code wont matter so much.

I don't know. I had a hornet nest in my garden last year. They make a bit of a mess and you shouldn't go to near to their nest, but they are awesome insects and far better than wasps. They also eat them so you won't find that many flying around.

They are just the larger, more peaceful versions that somehow aren't interested in humans the slightest. Sadly, they move every year and this time around the wasps are back.
> Same reason anyone wants a union: to reduce structural asymmetry. In this case, the asymmetry in question is information. Think of the hypothetical union as you and your coworkers all pitching in to get a really good lawyer to review your employment contracts and vesting terms.

That's fine for those other people. And a common fund for a lawyerly review might be an interesting idea. In general, I don't want to pool my negotiations with other people, though.

> More importantly, because of the issues with equity, even those scarce observations are fuzzy. Comparing two equity packages from non-public companies is hard, and it's ridiculous (or, depending on your interpretation, cunningly malicious) to put that burden on every single employee individually. You're paid to be an expert in software engineering and a partial domain expert in whatever the company does; having to also be an expert in finance and obscure tax law to even know how much you're getting paid is unreasonable.

I resolve that difficulty by valuing all equity (or options etc) of non-public companies at a huge discount when comparing offers.

I don't treat exactly as if they were worth zero, but pretty close.

Slightly more specialised: in tech it seems to be common to grant employees at-the-money call options. The put-call-parity is your friend here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Put%E2%80%93call_parity).

A special case for that parity equation is:

put option + equity = call option + cash (at current price of equity)

In our case with both put and call having a strike at the current price of the equity.

More or less it says that a call option is exactly as useful as the insurance against the company going bust, ie the put option.

There are basically two ways for the call option to be worth more than peanuts:

- Either, the founders were idiots and sold the last round of equity too cheap (ie the strike of the call option is too low)

- Or, the share price is fair, but the company has a very high risk of going belly up (ie the put is worth a lot)

I'm getting tired of Google making all decisions. With each release they are adding more useless functions that by some odd chance helps them access more of my data.

New function in Android 13: UnmuggDroid: by always having the mic on, Google can detect when you are being mugged and contact the authorities. We have also removed the possibility of turning off the GPS, to provide everyone a better user experience.
In Australia at least, most laws do have various surrounding official documents like this and they are often referenced by courts (but do not have the force of law). 'Explanatory memoranda' is one example.

This is a great example of why shorts are socially valuable. Without that incentive who would go to the trouble of doing all this research to uncover (possible) fraud?

This 2019 blog post from a Debian developer describes some of the problems they are facing from a developer perspective: "Winding down my Debian involvement" https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2019-03-10-debian-windin...
Without watching the video, can we guess correctly that "for Common Lisp" means "in Common Lisp"? Or is it really meant for use within Common Lisp programs?
Why is the description written like it's authored by a marketing team for executives to read, neither of which would understand what's being described?
Other languages don't allow you to import multiple versions of a package. Allowing this opens a can of worms, mostly to do with global state. The two versions of the module can still be competing for the same global resources, say lock files, or registering themselves somewhere, or just standard library stuff like the flag package. Unless developers actually test all their major versions running together, you are just crossing your fingers and hoping. It was the same problems we had with vendoring, and one of the reasons the 'libraries should not vendor' recommendation is made.
Please dont ever suggest people end it all by throwing themselves under a car, train truck or anything else controlled by somebody. Nobody should ever have to live with the fact they were driving a vehicle that somebody used to end it all. Why distroy two lives. Pretty selfish making somebody live with the consequences of your decision.

I like the idea! However, I don't know much about psychology, so I'd personally be hesitant to create such a product. Certainly "releasing emotions" without a therapist could be somewhat dangerous for some people. And perhaps what actually helped him isn't using the app, but a new sense of purpose or meaning in his life due his discovery of the book and developing the app.

It'd probably be wise to consult an expert on the psychological backgrounds.
That’s a _really_ nice example! Might suggest this in code reviews as I come across quite a few complex nested if/elif blocks

Anti-Semitic holocaust denial is common. This means we owe a duty to the millions who died to remember how they were murdered by the Nazis.

The Nazis operated two types of camps.

They ran concentration camps, forced labour camps, and extermination camps.

https://www.theholocaustexplained.org/the-camps/types-of-cam...

> Separating concentration camps and extermination camps

> It is key to separate concentration camps from extermination camps.

> The aim of the Nazi concentration camps was to contain prisoners in one place. The administration of the camps had a distinct disregard for inmates’ lives and health, and as a result, tens of thousands of people perished within the camps.

> The aim of the Nazi extermination camps was to murder and annihilate all races deemed ‘degenerate’: primarily Jews but also Roma.
A lay person is not supposed to understand the law.

In Finland, at least, the government strives to keep the criminal code (”Rikoslaki”) simple enough for laypeople to grasp.

It is accepted as a general rule that other parts of the law do require domain expertise.
Sorry, what I said mostly applies to bills.

Though laws also sometimes come with justifications. Eg

> Article I Section 8 | Clause 8 – Patent and Copyright Clause of the Constitution. [The Congress shall have power] “To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries.”

In my book, "To promote the progress of science and useful arts" sounds like they wanted to explain what that piece of law was supposed to be good for. But whether handing out monopolies actually promotes progress of science and arts is very much a factual question open to factual enquiry.

And so is the question whether this wording really has anything to do with why the legislators come up with that clause.

It's perhaps more well-analysed for the second amendment to the American constitution.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Amendment_to_the_United...

The text itself provides some form of justification for reasons, but from history we know that there were different factions involved all with their own different reasons, and what's written in the law is a compromise. A compromise with rather idiosyncratic phrasing.
This would seem like a good candidate for regular old cross-breeding.

People in the past would select which seeds and plants to cross breed by hand.

You could imagine an automated system which could cross breed 1 billion (1e9) plants at once by using cameras and ML techniques looking for good traits on each plant, using just 3% of US farmland. It doesn't need perfection - a 10% error rate simply requires 10% more plants, so it's a perfect application of ML.

The same plants you're using for breeding can still be producing sellable corn, so the cost of this selective breeding program on a per-plant basis is nearly zero.

> So people who are sterotypically nerds do better at sterotypically nerdy things?

I don’t get what makes you think that that is the conclusion. Study doesn’t look at the cluster of open source contributors against “rest of the world”, there is no stereotype being established here. It is examining concrete project dynamics (e.g. pull request acceptance) against personality traits within open source developers.

Big five is such a widely applicable factor analysis that I don’t think there is one particular configuration that would define a “nerd” except maybe for introversion-extraversion axis. Since the study shows meaningful differences on other axes too, I don’t think it is about nerdiness at all.
No one can require you to stay on though, you’ll either have sufficient equity or bonus potential to make up for the lower salary, a salary adjustment, or you’ll just walk for a market salary.
The function call overhead itself is irrelevant, because by definition these blocks are cold. The saving/restoring of callee-clobbered registers does affect the code size of the hot function though, so that's important.

I don't understand the need to editorialize by changing the title. If you read the title posted here, you may get the impression that there's no need for radiation hardened chips can be used. It would be better to use the actual title "Common misconceptions about space-grade integrated circuits".

To me the actual title more properly reflects a good summation of the article:

"The ultimate answer to a question if COTS chips can be used in space is “Yes, but”. There are many opportunities, but also many constraints."
This may actually be true, but to what point. Choosing to ignore the shitty things that are happening in your world is a pretty good survival tactic. After all there is a pretty reasonable chance that the shitty thing won't directly impact you, giving you a chance to actually improve your situation.
