Good point. It may well be true that FB 2.7 billion acts as a moat. What I find interesting is that FB has had a bad rap since it reached the 1 billion mark. But instead of going the number of users has gone up. That being said many of those can't be a active though
I think it might be useful to scan a large corporate address space from within without waiting days.

You could also scan your own internal 10 net in a finite amount of time.

1/255th of the internet is for all practical purposes, the internet.
I’m working at a cyber security company, we have an agent running on customer machines that helps identifying security breaches.
One tool we use is to scan the customer’s network and find out which machines don’t have our agent running.
Probably not a great idea to make it so easy to scan the entire internet. Even providing the command in the readme before explaining why it is a bad idea.

>Because it's Apple, it's one of the biggest companies on earth.

Yes, and do you think you have a better understanding of the situation than the security and risk management folks that work there? There's absolutely nothing that has been said in this thread that they aren't keenly aware of. There are people in Cupertino that are going to wake up in a few hours, grab some coffee and pore over the threat intel reports from last night. They know who is buying and for how much and have a long detailed analysis of what happened with previous jailbreaks. There is another team of people dedicated to staffing the bounty program, rifling through stacks of reports with a signal to noise ratio that's approaching the Shannon limit, triaging findings, tracking down product and engineering teams to get a quick response so they can get back to the researcher in a timely fashion, handling rejections for out of scope and dupes.

These people are in it up to their eyeballs in this every day. They live it, breathe it, love it and they'll move the needle when moving the needle makes sense. Until then anyone that participates in the bounty program and then cries foul when payouts are in line with the posted max and not with what could be had on the black market are going to get zero sympathy from me.
Yes this! I'm not a security professional but System Administrator, and i need tools like that, especially DoS and metasploit-kind tools to harden my own systems/services. We need tools like that, if we don't try to break our own Systems, someone else will do it (and this time with consequences).

BTW: Massscan is excellent at braking routers, over-flood them and they will often crash.

I was trying to remember the phrase "ethnocentric predicament" for some reason and came upon this article. It was a good refresher for me on the first year phi course I took way back in college.
Tell HN: I created my own parody religion based on The Book of Mozilla
I created my own parody religion in 2012, called the Religion of Mozilla. It serves the purpose of showing people absurdity of the concept of revelation and divine inspiration. I use the Book of Mozilla as the religious scripture in my parody religion. My answer to question "How do this verses get written?" is "People add to them from time to time". I still use it in the religious discussions I engage in.
I think Uber and Lyft can raise their prices significantly and people will still take them, simply because the alternatives are worse.

Owning a car is worse for many situations, and so is public transportation.

If you have any friends with 16-18 year old children, ask them if they are going to buy them a car, or if they'd rather just pay for Uber/Lyft (that's an honest question, but I know what my experience is.) Ditto for people taking care of senior citizens.

There is a fundamental efficiency to rideshare. And it will continue to get better. As I said in the prior comment -- we already have self-driving cars. I push a button on my phone and somebody drives me somewhere.

For now, the self-driving tech is just a big distraction that makes things fantastically more expensive and unreliable. (This could change, but again I see that as 20-30 years in the future. I don't price it in for sure)

Also, drivers seem to love Uber and Lyft for the work flexibility, at least when I talked to many of them in 2015-2018. Those jobs were really valuable to a diverse set of people.

-----

I've heard the viewpoints you quoted in the media, but I don't think they are painting a balanced picture. It seems like a message that somebody wants to get out there, not a neutral viewpoint.

Of course the whole idea that Uber would reduce their costs with self-driving was also a fantasy meant to sell stock. I don't think the market ever priced that in. It's clear now that this area was a disaster, and the stock didn't crash because of that.

I think Uber/Lyft will be creating value for 10-20 years to come. People in SF seem to be bearish on them, but I think that's sort of provincial view. We might be on to the next big thing, but valuable tech is rare, and it takes years/decades for valuable technology to be adopted everywhere that it makes sense.

People are still buying iPhones for the first time, even though it was released in 2007. It's hard for me to imagine, but there must be people using Google for the first time too in 2020.
At least Yeltsin's (why Elzin?) observations are probably quite accurate. But nowadays it seems like people are getting mad based on partial information (sometimes just 140 characters) or lies and misinformation. For example the paranoia against Muslims is based on incorrect perceptions of how many Muslims there are: https://www.statista.com/statistics/952909/perceptions-on-re... , and this on top of the perception that having Muslims in the community is a negative thing.

Maybe it's also a lot of the "grass is greener on the other side" or "in the future". US voters heard Obama's message of hope and attached to it everything they wanted to be better in their lives. And the same with Trump's message of "Great Again".

I feel like you’ve never worked at a large company before.

None of this is abnormal. And it seems based on this article that Apple responded quickly and fixed the reported issues.
Actually, the underlying reason for at least the successful stories behind such migrations stems from non-GUI thinking. The power lies in the CLI and engagement with POSIX-compliance with an open arm. This sometimes turn out highly liberating for developers (which lead them to write such stories).

Typora does this too. They use Github to host the issue tracker [1]. I think at one time the binaries could be downloaded from Github as well.

>Do people really mislabel tech debt?

The most common way I see "technical debt" used is: deliberately code a quick & dirty low-quality-short-term fix to address an immediate problem and we know we'll have to clean this up later for a high-quality-long-term solution that's easier to maintain.

This differs from Ward Cunningham's idea of future unknowable specs not aligning with yesterday's code.

>To be contrarian, even if we aren't getting it exactly right - is it so bad?

IMO, it's not so bad. A lot of short and snappy terminology gets a life of its own that doesn't match the original meaning. Examples:

- "worse is better" is typically used very differently from Richard Gabriel's original usage

- "object-oriented" as popularized by C++/C# (static binding at compile time as default) is different than Alan Kay's original definition (dynamic extreme late binding)

- "REST" as "API endpoint as url" is used differently than Roy Fielding's paper of Representational State Transfer (http itself exposes the navigation & discovery of system capabilities)

Since most people discussing <any_topic> are not going to rigorously research the precise etymology of a term, the popular meanings can drift away from original usage. Today, politicians use the word "liberal" differently than its earlier associations with "economic freedom"
> and in fact, there are revolutions happening.

it would be interesting to know who's benefiting from these revolutions

it would also be interesting to understand if they really are revolutions or not

I am more inclined to call them riots and I am afraid that a number of them are steered by people with very bad intentions

Internet simply made propaganda easier and more effective, for the good but also for he bad

p.s: It's a good story, but Yeltsin went to Texas less than two months before the Berlin wall was taken down, people in USSR already knew about supermarkets at that time. Especially in East Germany. That's not the reason why they teared the wall down.

We in Italy knew about American malls and supermarkets, we had them but we usually didn't use them as much as we do today to buy groceries because our culture was based on local smaller shops selling fresh food.

> But the greatest person that ever lived had a bad friend that got him killed. He wasn’t like, “sorry, I have dinner plans.”

Is this a reference to a well known figure? I'm trying to think about who this might be and I'm drawing a blank. Who was the greatest person that ever lived?

Yeah i'm in AI and i'm not sure if I should be impressed or not. It's not hard to train pretty much anything in simulation, which they did. The hardest part in robotics is the transfer to reality, which they actually did too, but i'm not sure HOW ? Is this domain randomization ? Simulation ehancement ? World model ?
Doesn’t seem like it, no.

The allegory of the cave is about having choice and ignoring it. This is about obtaining choice and everyone seeing the folly of their masters. The people that don’t would be closer to that allegory.
Does github even allow this. I'm their terms?
Scanning for open ports on other peoples networks? How is that different from casing a house for entrances? It’s behavior only two types of people would have: criminals and security professionals.

Unsurprising, yet sad.

Some even go to the trouble of changing a couple of words, presumably trying to cover their tracks or justify some kind of claim of "authorship":

"This week, we continue our ... stare upon pre-standard iron and steel manufacturing"

No normal English speaker would write that. Sure enough, the original had "look at", and the thief has just substituted "stare upon" without considering whether it actually reads well in the context.

If someone cared to DoS or otherwise take down that parasitical site, I'd consider it a service to humanity....
>"With the contemporary news cycle, Washington D.C. feels very close and familiar, even to me, a Czech residing an ocean away from it."

Problem with this is that modern reporting is so f..d up that the picture they paint often has little to do with reality. Instead of trying to adequately address the reality media is trying create one and / or doing plain propaganda.
Maybe I'm misreading what Patrick is saying here but personally, if I believed that the equity part of an offer was worth near zero, then I'd ensure that the cash part of an offer met my needs and aspirations for the medium term.

Perhaps there is an argument that by being so focused on the cash part of an offer I probably left equity on the table, if the IPO lottery ticket came in perhaps I would find myself regretting that.
Well put. I would say that one possible remedy to this issue is transparency but seeing as the specific details of how transparency is implemented would be determined by the same corrupt officials that rely on financing by "k-street" as you've put it, it will likely mean total transparency for the average citizen but special edge cases and exceptions a-la "Citizens United" or Too Big to Fail Banks for our elite rulers and thier scientists.

I would argue that science would be a good welcome addition if it can be decoupled from this "k-street" dilemna. Otherwise its likely to make matters worse because political interests and agendas can be more easily legitimized as absolute and unquestionable truth. Couple that with a tight grip on information flow and weve got a serious problem on our hands.
except in North Korea they are forced to believe.

With the use of force.
It's kind of ironic that people educated in social science tend to have idealistic or just legible, few factor theories about something this complex. I mean complex in the strong sense.

Early theories were about "access to information unleashing a wave of democratisation." Current theories are about foreign and domestic intelligence manipulating social media.

The internet is an era. Eras have a lot going on.

The way we should (IMO) be thinking about this stuff is as complex systems, where the mechanisms can't really be understood to the point of predictiveness. Just like printing presses, mass literacy, radio and television broke political equilibriums... the internet breaks political equilibriums, for better or worse.

The internet is, OTOH, obviously structurally inclined to being an agent of chaos. Despite all the centralisation, the facebook, twitter, google and such use extremism like an exploitation film uses sex and violence. If something is dangerous, sexy and naked... people are going to look.
Maybe the previous universe's black hole evaporation ripples cause enough chaos effect for the new universe to be different so even though the whole system is deterministic, it could always be different because of that effect. We live in a PRNG.

Edit: OOh I have an idea. What if the quantum effect is deterministic but appears random we experience are in fact ripple effects from the previous universes? Has anyone ever tried to measure quantum behavior in multiple simultaneous experiments in a kind of geometrical matrix system to see if there are shapes of correlation?
People on HN are not as young as you think, and Eno is not such a one-trick pony that the music he makes himself has much resemblance to the more mainstream amongst the bands he's produced.

Be that as it may, the Primal Grow Pro Price for one jug is $69. Yet, you can purchase this @ $49 or $59 on the off chance that you go for its 2 or 4 container bundles.

Security by "Stop doing that"
There are numerous public domain tools that do this, so the cat is already out of the bag.

Last I read about it, you can scan the entire IPv4 space for a port in about 40 minutes providing you have the bandwidth and a forgiving ISP. I see another comment claiming a tool can do it in 6 minutes. Easy at "apt get install" and a single command.
VHDL / Verilog is very different, but not necessarily harder per-se. It's just people spend 4 years learning "normal" programming, and at best have a one-semester course which uses VHDL.

But yes, a software stack would help.
> "The report also recommends that Congress consider any acquisition by the big tech companies to be anticompetitive unless the companies can prove that the merger would be in the public’s benefit and could not be otherwise achieved."

I'm sorry, what? Two private tech companies cannot merge if they can't prove it is in the public's best interest? Am I understanding this correctly?

What if the influence on public welfare is non existent or minimal, but both companies would benefit from the merger?
Security professionals are born that way?
Ethereum Is a Casino
With internet, you have much higher chance of knowing stuff is misinformation, though. Or a chance of knowing what you were taught in school was wrong or biased (I was taught that the civil war wasn't really about slavery and that Hawaii really wanted to be part of the US without mentioning the colonialism bits, for example).

Pre-internet, if your misinformation came from the state, a biased news source, or your school teacher, it was much harder to find an alternative storyline, even if you question the truthfulness of something.

Now, I know folks are believing the misinformation, but to be fair, so many of us weren't taught how to sort out this stuff in school. The internet existed for me in high school, though we didn't have it at home save for a short time with dial up. My sister, 6 years younger, had internet most of the time she was in school and my brother, 11 years younger, had internet for most, if not all, of his teenage years. Schools hadn't updated curriculum all that much in no small part because the teachers weren't as internet savvy as the children. Attitudes ranged from "no internet sources" to "no wikipedia" but not so many restrictions outside of that. Entire generations of folks have had to just figure it out on their own, and some of us haven't taken the road of truth.

The "Intellectuals" in the West think of commoners no better than CPSU members though of their "prole" chattels.

I'd say common people are even better than them at making thought connections when things relate to daily life, and something obvious.

I highly, highly doubt that you can make somebody truly "mad with 140 characters," Most proletarians who go on fuming these days are ones who genuinely are pissed off at something very obvious to them about the government, but that something is not that obvious to people up on the social ladder, who only see what is on the surface, like the calls to "burn those A, or B, or C on the stake."

If you are running this tool, you are sending packets from a single machine to N remote hosts, so logically the strain and bottleneck should be at your end and I can't see how this should cause much of a burden several hops away.

At the destination this should be a small fraction of the usual "Internet background noise" which is usually a negligible fraction of the available bandwidth.
Everyone who's serious about unix should learn a bit of ed. Ed + a here doc is really useful for some types of batch edits that you can't do using sed or perl -pi -e.

I've done this kind of thing in shellscripts so many times. Recently it was in recovering my personal website by dumping out the wayback machine through lynx and retro-converting the text to markdown.
That should be a good hint to reconsider your assumption that misinformation is that big of a problem. This "fake news" nonsense has all the hallmarks of a moral panic, in line with satanic abuse of the 80s or terrorim radicalization of the 2000s. Not to say it's not an actual problem, but it seems to me to be more of an excuse for the ole' media gatekeepers to do whatever to hang onto their power.
If someone's scanning the internet at that speed, that means you get less than one packet per five minutes for each IPv4 you have. Hardly something to whine about.
I recently swithced to Mac as my primary dev machine and I am not a big fan of it. Things like bad window management, shit keyboard(butterfly) and the keyboard shortcuts not working uniformly across all application makes it a subpar experience compared to Windows/WSL/Surface or Lennovo laptop.

I don't know. Rural areas have farms, and there are plenty of government regulations about farming - and your money is tied to these. Government is less convenient too: Just a trip to the DMV or courthouse might take 30-60 minutes of driving.

I think the parent was correct: Cities tend to have more diverse populations. Rural areas tend to have less, which means less folks to challenge your notions of the world (and more chance that you'll write some of the folks off that do so).
Could you point to some? I would be interested in knowing what major issues they face since I’m considering switching over entirely to Linux (albeit from Windows. I switched from OSX to Windows a few years ago).
