A large company may lose more than the value of the impacted business line while a startup is capped at the value of the business line (or rather the cash on hand which is even less). So the maximum loss is much higher in absolute terms for a large company and so they're able to invest more absolute money into security. Plus, philosophically, startups already have such massive risk that another X% due to a potential security breach isn't even worth bothering with versus spending the money on lowering risk in other areas.
I think xbox shouldn't require an account either.
Odds of any given submission or story landing is highly variable and arbitrary.

I land a fair bit of content on the front page, but also submit a lot. Many of my successful items are surprises, much of what I'd like to see take hold doesn't. I'll submit certain ‘beats‘ of interest regularly (different items), hopefully without becoming too polemical. I also scan 'new' upvoting items of interest frequently. I'll nominate items from others for the 2nd chance queue (email the mods).

The Assange story is complex, has always been inherently political, and those politics have dhifted, as has awareness of interactions and consequences. Assange was always controversial. Many who'd once admired his work, and who can point to specific good acts and valuable releases, are also now skeptical of his intentions and connections. Myself among them.

But items concerning him and his case(s) can still be submitted.
Affirm Announces Confidential Submission of Draft Registration Statement
> My main question, without disagreeing with the hypotheses given by the Justice Department, is this: if it's true that blacks are still being discriminated against, and nobody is allowed to compensate for that by taking action, what else can we need to do to solve the pre-existing discrimination, assuming that it's cultural and difficult

I’m an Asian and I’m okay with affirmative action. But it’s worth noting that over 60% of Black people think race should not be even a “small factor” in college admissions: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/02/25/most-americ...

Insofar as the public might not want race-based preferences, there are things we can do that are putatively race-neutral but will disproportionately advantage Black people. One of the most effective things we could do is baby bonds: https://www.urban.org/urban-wire/how-baby-bonds-could-help-a...

Fixing that disproportionately negatively affect Black people, such as criminal justice reform, would help. Police reform-not just to reduce brutality, but also to reduce crime in Black communities—would help.
Fully agree, I don't have a problem paying Stripe if it means they are properly incentivized to help me run my business.

I'd be happy to throw them a few more percent if they could handle more of the complexity you've mentioned above. Right now, Stripe is both too complex to set up and too simple from a feature perspective.

I'm optimistic though since it seems companies like Paddle, Chargebee and others are blazing that path. As much as I love Stripe and what they originally did for online commerce, they're already starting to look like the lazy incumbent compared to the challengers right now. Market dominance is not a great incentive to create better products.
The lack of isolation options is so brutal
Don't buy one?
The E46 is pretty easy to work on, and the subframe thing they fixed for free (after some lengthy lawsuits). I took mine to 200k and never really had any big problems, just the usual stuff (DISA, water pump, oil filter housing leaks, a/c relay, one window regulator). I think the 325 might have had it worse though.
The trends won't really tell you much as we get further into the pandemic. Just because someone lacks a detectible level of antibodies doesn't necessarily mean they are susceptible.
> Google search is barely political

Google is making everything political with its "Machine Learning Fairness" initiative. Like when you google image search "european art" or "white men".

You'd think European art was 50% black person portraits and that 50% of white men were criminals or black.
In the instance yes, but bounty programs need to be sustainable so parameters are set up front. Folks can choose to participate or not. If they don't like the offering, they can find something else.
Simple. In my perfect world, Facebook events would be publicly searchable without an account. I wouldn't need to go through the hassle of setting up the account and they wouldn't need to go through the hassle of making sure I was legit or not. But the walled garden's value is predicated on keeping everyone in the silo and not able to access data publicly.
What makes presenting a list of numbers a “gotcha”? It’s a better starting point for discussion than a random unsupported assertion. I would interpret a complaint about introducing numbers and measurement as evidence that the complainant has a weak position that can’t stand objective scrutiny. Numbers aren’t everything, but they’re definitely a something...
I have not read it, but I read this excerpt:
https://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/11/books/excerpt-wrong.html

I don't think any of that applies to what I'm talking about. I'm talking about scientific consensus, not what foods cause cancer but does smoking cause cancer. Not what medical procedure is best, but do vaccines work.

Some 97% of scientists agree climate change is caused by man, but we allow the person in the highest position in the land to disbelieve that. To make decisions for 330M people based on false beliefs that everyone knows are false.

And when he's out of office, we'll be sitting around waiting for the next Trump-like person to get elected. We have to do something, if not this, something better. Yes there's a ton of science that's speculative and gets overturned, but we now a shit-ton of things for sure, about math, statistics, probability, physical, chemistry, biology, we know a lot that's not getting overturned. The third law of thermodynamics is not getting overturned.

Going back to 2006, Xilinx was making FPGAs that would sit in an Opteron socket and speak HyperTransport to the other CPU(s).

I never heard much more about that, but I can imagine it might've been popular with certain specialized workloads, in an era before GPU compute took off, or perhaps workloads that don't fit GPUs well.

I wonder if those specialized applications might be a small but important market.
An enron Enron goes down in 10 or so years, an not so enron Enron might last a good 20 or 30 years.
Doesn't the use of the CLI require the manual setup process in the demo video? With the login and configure? If I don't want to manually setup each machine, is there any war around it? I saw there are service tokens, but I think there might be a bit of chicken and egg issue, where I need to pass secret tokens to access the system to pass secrets with.

An enterprise (self hosted) offering is probably what my admittedly niche uses would require. Just kind of spit-balling some ideas really, to see where things are headed.

Any concept of separation of duties? Like Doppler level Owner / Admins who don't have access to the configs, they just create projects and give users access to edit the configs with them. Or audit ability, where someone can't see the secrets, just who made changes when?

How long is the history on each config? Is it permanent history? Or just some time frame?

Or how about universal configs? Occasionally I have something like an api url, a git repo, or an artifactory url. Which rarely change, but would like synced across all environments in a project. Or even across projects. I know I could cut and paste the value across environments, but mistakes can be made.

I know that. I don't want it as I stated above.

That was just an easy to understand example. The real money will be in maxing out total screen time. Such examples exist as Facebook, Netflix, or advertising driven platforms that hyper-optimize for watch-time or "engagement" to our detriment.
The idea that any form of price optimization among firms violates antitrust laws would put basically all management and marketing consulting at antitrust risk. This doesn’t sound plausible.
Travel is still way down. There are many vacant hotel rooms.
Yes. I share your concern but its becoming apparent that the current state of affairs is breaking down. People are too smart they're seeing through the b.s. more and more by the day, and they're pissed. So what do we do now?
Oh, interesting, thanks. The only one I verified before posting was EFF, and I hadn't heard of a 501c4 previously.
I just loaded this on mobile Chrome with JavaScript off (like usual) and I didn't see any ads. The images were fuzzy for some reason, though--a strangely common "feature" I've noticed on a lot of websites over the last few years.

Yup. Hitting 90C is basically what limits the top speed, so I know that better cooling might help.

I do have pstates enabled. Power and frequency scale up as you'd expect, in response to system load.
Great point and you are 100% right - it has been a while since I went through Title 18. Thank you for taking the time to clarify!
New Report Claims Extensive Worker Abuses at a Large Logistics Companies
Looks like they spelled “anarchists” and “rioters” wrong. Obviously the FBI do not care about the regular protesters. It’s the ones organizing to try and light buildings on fire that require a response.
Most of the people showing up aren't there to cause violence or criminal behavior. If you want to call the violent arsonists "domestic terrorists" that's one thing, but the protests as a whole do not have violence as their purpose, nor most of their members, so labelling the protests as a whole "domestic terrorism" is an over reach of the term. A few dozen criminals with lighter fluid and matches don't turn the other few thousand people into terrorists.
No, they’re not protests. Not after dark.

Congratulation seniors, you are inspiring us.
No we wouldn't. Courts rejected these look and feel claims in Lotus v. Borderland.
You're so blessed to have a supportive environment - it actually sounds perfect for where you are right now, doing what you're doing - working on projects to develop skills, networking, cultivating a rich soil. You're already walking in the right direction, patient and persistent.

There must be a better way than choosing to go homeless, to light a fire in your search for motivation and meaning. I understand that feeling though.

I think the essence is that you want to get out of your comfort zone, open yourself up to risks and opportunities, to make tangible progress and feel more alive. That "trance" is your daily habits and thought processes - I'm sure there are many ways you can consciously disrupt and break out of the "rut", to encourage yourself to seek new experiences.

OK, that's really neat. I have almost the same setup except use 120mm fans on the NH-U14S (to clear the RAM, I populated all 8 slots ;)

I am very tempted to switch to water cooling. Seems like I could make it a little quieter, and get a little bit more performance. $1000 more performance? Probably not. But it would be a fun project.

Maybe these HR people should have to go through some whiteboard algorithm gauntlet of their own.
I worked at a company many years ago and one of my coworkers used to work at microsoft.

we were talking about some technical thing and I said - Yeah, microsoft broke <some feature> but they don't know what every company is doing and you get a young programmer in there and he just has to get somethign done...

My friend said - don't be naive. microsoft has meetings... How can we own this? and they devise strategies.

I think the strategy is seamless integration for us AND screwed up standards that make it hard for others to seamlessly integrate. Maybe it's a proprietary standard, maybe it's a "security" certificate, maybe it's a "quality gate", maybe it's dark patterns, maybe it's a hard login requirement (that's harder with GDPR).

You should read the halloween documents.

The end result is -- you the customer will get fewer, more expensive, less private choices in the end.

The proposal it not that the government "be ruled by science" at all. The proposal is all three branches of the government still exist. The legislative still makes the laws, the executive still runs things, the judicial still interprets the laws.

It's just a question of wedging in a small check and balance that most of the time does nothing, but who can intervene, in TBD ways, if things go gonzo bonkers. Have you seen Handmaid's Tale? The religious right is not far from that. We don't want that.
I can confirm this, I recently (within the last month) had to reinstall Windows 10 and was forced to create an account.

But I was able to bypass by putting obviously fake credentials (like admin@outlook.com or something similar) and only when it didn't work got the option to create a local account.
When Pixar spun out LucasFilm in 1986, it was not worth very much because they had yet to produce any films or sell anything at all.

20 years later, Disney paid $7.4 billion for Pixar.
I can think of one exception, which is certain consulting firms (eg. Booz), where you may have to constantly interview to get on new projects when you wrap the prior one up.
I can't imagine waymo or any of the other groups that are basing their technology around lidar, managing to get to "commodity stage". LIDAR has a fixed range it is useful for, which is greatly shrunk when you also need to factor in vehicle response time. Cameras can see as far as humans can (further actually, as it can see things more reliably at greater distances than humans). Going beyond 25mph is already massively encroaching on the upper ranges of safety with LIDAR systems.
Baiting the moderators is in poor taste and is not going to change our behavior. The way we moderate HN when YC or YC startups are involved has been stable for many years: we moderate less in such cases. You'll find many statements of this going back a long time here: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so....

Less, however, does not mean zero. You posted 15 aggressive comments in this thread; that's extreme. You've crossed well into trolling, and even descended into personal attack (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24724190). I don't know where this grudge is coming from, but it's time to stop.

Plenty of other commenters have been raising similar concerns (e.g. about hosted secrets); that's obviously fine. The difference is that they're doing it in a decent and non-vindictive way, as the site guidelines require.
They may not be as constraining but we will still be constrained by available energy. Bending spacetime requires huge amounts of energy. So maybe instead of a light-cone it would be a warp-energy cone.

I never used Wave much, but I'm old enough to have used (the shell program) Talk many, many times to communicate with my friends on the university system. I really hated the live typing feature. In order not to seem rude, you had to focus on the conversation so you were ready to respond as soon as the other person was done. You had to be patient with the typos and slow typing of some people. And even if the deleted parts of the conversation had relevant information, you had to at least pretend to ignore whatever was typed & deleted. It had all the limitations of online communication (no facial cues, no body language, no tone of voice) but didn't have the good grace to be asynchronous which would let you do more than one thing at a time. It was so frustrating to be stuck in one place staring at letter after letter slowly appearing.

It felt like all the disadvantages of an in-person conversation without any of the advantages. It was such a relief when I finally convinced friends to rely more on email or chatting in places like MUDs.

And sorry to rant at you a little. It's just I can still remember the frustration vividly after 30 years.
> Exercising creativity can't be the hook if recipes have that and aren't copyrightable.

Sure, creativity is a requirement but it isn't the only requirement. But think about why a cookbook of selected recipes is copyrightable even if the recipes individually aren't.

> And that's what an API is. It's a formal functional specification.

The problem for Google is the Java API is also code, which is generally copyrightable. You seem to be saying that since this particular code happens to form a specification it should be treated differently under copyright law, but I'm not sure the court would find that argument very convincing.
Even more so then. "We" don't control anything any more than anyone else.
For Star Trek, in-universe this happened at least twice. The relevant episodes are TOS 2x22 Return to Tomorrow [0] and TNG 6x20 The Chase [1].

VOY 3x23 Distant Origin [2] also in-universe establishes convergent evolution is very likely to create humanoids (makes no reference to the other two episodes, as far as I remember, but it's kinda wishy-washy in that it could be highly likely because of the two progenitor species).

That said, there's plenty of non-humanoid aliens. Off the top of my head: Q, the Tholians, the Caretaker's species, the two aliens from TOS 2x01 Catspaw (shown to be tiny and kinda birdlike in the final scenes), and Species 8472.

> If this wasn't protected, you would have zero incentive to build high quality libraries or to invest in making the platform popular if someone else can just come along and copy it.

I guess I must be hallucinating all those S3-compatible libraries and services.

> As the justices pointed out, it's a one-way interoperability.

It makes a large majority of the same code work on both. That's not one-way. Porting in either direction is vastly improved versus them making their own APIs.
As an Oculus Rift S user I disagree, Facebook (not longer a user for a long time) should be able to require FB login.

I would/will no longer buy an Oculus though.
As a % top leadership, yeah it totally can be too much.
No one is seriously suggesting we forcibly lock vulnerable people in close quarantine. Instead we should provide those at greatest risk with free hotel rooms if they want to quarantine on a voluntary basis.

HW Security Better, but Attack Surface Is Growing
With respect to naming, I think the details of the Baker case make it clear that names are not copyrightable. Nevertheless I agree that naming is a creative aspect of API design. It's not a creative aspect of API code though! There it is just an affordance.

The names that we given our APIs are inherent to their behavior and not necessarily the code. Some languages, such as Swift, even mangle API names when they are used so that their names are non-sensical without de-mangling. So why is the name important? It's important for us to understand what the system is doing, but not to the function of the system itself. This might not seem important for us when doing our work, but in the case of copyrightability it's an important fact based on precedent law.
In large organizations it is common to have multiple databases maintained by many different people. When a DS needs some data he/she needs to talk to all these different people, wait for them or their managers to grant access, and join the inconsistent labels. This takes a long time and some people are extremely protective of their (messy anyways) tables, requiring higher ups to straight up demand them to grant access.

Having nicely organized data is perfect, but I'd rather fetch the data myself from a pile of messy data instead of dealing with all these organizational nightmare.
I was using COVID case data, not COVID deaths.

In any event TX, NJ, and FL all have similar reported COVID deaths, but CA has fewer excess deaths than TX or NJ. Some of that is probably due to e.g. reduced automotive mortalities under more stringent lockdown, but I don't think the data you posted indicats that CA is e.g. worse than the other 3 states at reporting COVID deaths (otherwise we would see a much higher excess death count in CA compared to those 3 states).

> The story of human evolution is full of ancient trysts. Genes from fossils have shown that the ancestors of many living people mated with Neanderthals and with Denisovans, a mysterious group of extinct humans who lived in Asia

In the case of Neanderthals, isn't that "all" people rather than "many" people?

Neanderthals are believed to have gone extinct 40000 years ago.

But there was an article here the other day about the genetic isopoint [1], which is the most recent time when every human alive then was either an ancestor of every human currently alive or had no descendants that are currently alive.

Most researchers put the genetic isopoint somewhere between about 4000-15000 years ago.

If both of these are true (or even if not, as long as the genetic isopoint is after Neanderthal extinction), then all my ancestors that descended from Neanderthals and were alive at the genetic isopoint are also your ancestors, and so you are also descended from Neanderthals through them.

There seems to be a lot more uncertainty about when the Denisovans went extinct. It seems likely that they were probably also all gone by the isopoint and so "all" rather than "many" probably goes for them too.

Oh please. There is now over 100 days of videos of them attacking federal buildings and lighting the fucking mayor’s condo building on fire. The lasers they are shining into police eyes are powerful enough to ignite a piece of paper. That’s instant permanent eye damage if you get hit. You either have no idea what is actually going on or you’re spreading propaganda. This is a violent unhinged mob of proud antifa anarchists (and before some ignorant person says antifa is “an idea”, Portland antifa has their own website and wikipedia article - look up Rose City Antifa). Knock it off. They openly espouse their beliefs that property should be destroyed and that anyone opposing them is fair game for violence.
