Yes, because context is key. In that statement she was attempting to craft Yahoo!'s work culture as it's CEO.

In contrast, I've been at Google since 2006 and have been utilizing 20% time since I started, and other Googlers here echo the same experience, and many of our projects are publicly available.

Not sure how her statement jives with the experience and artifacts of other's work other than to say it's not correct, and shaped by the context of the statement.

We don't know if this is state of the art. The U-2 is still fine for surveillance over uncontested territory.

The only one that actually seems like it might be going into Volume production is the VW ID.3. There are plenty of articles from 2019 talking about how they'll be building TONS in 2020... but there are no articles in 2020 talking about how many they've built.

No other auto maker has any EV on the books they plan to actually mass produce, they're all just "limited volume".

I don't see what Marissa Mayer's comments actually add to the discussion. She was obviously acting in PR mode as the CEO of a competitor. It's barely information.
I really liked your project. It may or may not be useful in my case, but I want to just say that you've put a lot of effort into this and it certainly shows. I have a problem with naming things as well, usually prefer some kind of a systemic way of organizing things. Perhaps, peculiarly I have a fascinationg for how companies name their products! It is similar in a way - organizing information for best possible internal and external communication.

I really liked your article, and the evolution of this syntax is historically interesting. But, your article did quite clearly claim that this use of 'else' is not English. You claimed 'else' is not a conjuction, and you called it a 'mystery' why it ended up in a computer programming language. I'm fine with, and actually I support the idea of being descriptivist about language rather that prescriptivist. But your comment here does unambiguously contradict what you wrote in the article...

Zig also has undefined behavior.

See whole section here

the difference is, they try to check for them at compile time, and if you compile with safety checks, also at runtime; however, if you compile with ReleaseFast (which I assume most people will in production), those runtime checks are turned off and the undefined behavior still exists.
In San Francisco they intimidate you and claim you’re legally obligated to tell them who was driving.

They did this to me when someone ran a red light in a car I’d sold (and electronically transferred) six months prior.

I’d suspect what they did wouldn’t hold up in court if it weren’t for the fact that the San Francisco court house was engaged in this behavior.

Apparently, this scenario is so common in California that places that accept cars as donations often have a specialist to help donors deal with extortion demands over revenue tickets.
There is a very deep anxiety that stems from knowing that the world is dying and you have very little power to do anything truly impactful about it. This turns to a profound sadness knowing that the natural world you grew up learning about from documentaries and books, that you assumed was static as a child - that it would always be there - could possibly become unrecognizable in your lifetime.

This is just one of the myriad ways that we have impacted the world without realizing and just like software bugs, where there is one there are more. Even if we overcome global warming, there is this lingring sense that this century will be the last where nature has any resemblance to the pre-sapiens world.

Thanks for your comments here. They made me see that this is meant for a pretty particular context.

My first reaction was creeping horror, because this feels like a solution to a problem people shouldn't have. But now that I read you talking about the situations you've made this for, I get your point: it's a problem people do have, and one that's not going away any time soon.

Just to save future bathub wear and tear, I'd suggest adding a bit to the top of the website to say who this is for. Just a couple sentences telling the story of your archetypal user would do it. You might also say who it probably isn't for, just so we can get to the dogs wearing clothes images sooner.

Yeah it always rang true to me as a company that did right by its employees, a mutual respectful relationship. Not to mention engineering was definitely seen as a priority. They even drew little doodles in the schematics.

But yes, an absolute gem and a nice little snapshot in time.

That's a shame about the lawsuits. I'm only bringing up (not blaming at all!) lawyers since it's the example you gave, but thinking about it, I think a sue-happy culture is just one of the symptoms or maybe foreshadowing our slow descent into not assuming good faith on the part of others or trying to lift everyone up rather than extract as much as you can from everyone else. It's as though we've moved from cooperation to being adversarial (in very general terms.)

I suppose that might be why that employee handbook attracts me so much--the contrast between their relationship with their employees is stark against what we seem to have today. Like before, it's a relationship of mutual benefit vs. the asymmetry between employers/employees we have now.

I'm awful with words and getting my ideas out, and I reiterate that I've nothing against law as a profession. It just serves as a nice exemplar.
The major news is that it was the only car maker that managed to grow significantly despite the pandemic and that they're still the technology leader despite many announcements from the competition.

The question I have is how does something like this end up undetected in the officially signed update? I would imagine internally there would be a source control system with auditable commits, and the commit hash would be signed with the executable — is that not standard practice?

I had to find this post[0] to fully understand what Hyperswarm is.

You may or may not be surprised to hear that connecting two computers over the Internet is difficult. Software needs to negotiate NATs, firewalls, and limited IPv4 addresses. This is one of many reasons why cloud services are so entrenched: they accept connections more reliably than home or mobile computers.

This is a challenge for Dat and the Beaker browser. Dat is a peer-to-peer network which needs to reliably connect users over the Internet and over LANs. Beaker uses Dat to serve websites without needing servers.

We currently rely on a tracker to get users connected. This is a tracker that we run, which isn’t ideal because we want Dat to be decentralized. We tried using BitTorrent’s Mainline DHT but the results just weren’t very good. Mainline doesn’t have the tools to hole-punch so the connections frequently failed, and live tests tended to give a lot of false-positives with few good hits.

So mafintosh decided to solve this by creating a new DHT which fits our needs.

Announcing the Hyperswarm preview

Hyperswarm is a stack of networking modules for finding peers and creating reliable connections. Users join the swarm for a “topic” and query periodically for other peers who are in the topic. When ready to connect, Hyperswarm helps create a socket between them using either UTP or TCP.

Hyperswarm uses a Kademlia DHT to track peers and arrange connections. The DHT itself includes mechanisms to holepunch NATs. For LAN-based discovery, we currently use multicast DNS.

Maybe? If I had to guess, it’s probably as harmful on a per weight basis as sugar. Note that we eat well over 100x more sugar.
Exactly my thoughts and confusion. It was a valid signed component of the Solarwinds application... so.... how did the attackers manage to sign it and publish it as a legitimate update? I used to work at a bank and any software deployment had multiple automatic and manual checks. Multiple senior engineers and managers had to approve the publish.

Was someone being blackmailed? Or a malicious actor managed to gain employment?

In fairness, the state motto is 'Live free or die.'
I disagree. I can imagine tons of parties that would pay good money for access to Facebook's legal admin panel. Without knowing exactly what's in there, one could imagine lawsuit filings, documents and data that have been put aside during a legal hold, C&Ds sent to people doing things Facebook doesn't like, etc. What can you do with this data? Well, probably embarrass Facebook badly by exposing all sorts of confidential discussions. You might be able to pull an invoice scam by harvesting vendor information and sending a bunch of fake invoices to be paid. You might find other unsecured information that allows you to escalate your access. One can only imagine.

Sure, the economic value of the root password to the NAS for Joe's Carwash is quite low but I suspect even the low level systems at high profile companies is worth tons (I'd guess millions) of dollars to the right (wrong people).
On my Dell 13in XPS laptop from 2018 (9370), Bluetooth used to allmost work, but I had to manually pair my headset every time. Now, with the latest Ubuntu, it often connects automatically, but then looses connection immediately, or fails to see that the device can play audio. After some fiddling and turning the device on an off it will work if i start playing audio right away. It will then work for a long time. The amount of fiddling and rebooting of headphones seems to grow with every new Ubuntu release. It may also be a user space error, but in any case, Bluetooth is far from "just working", unfortunately.

Creating a Stylus Library
From [1];

Linux 5.10 LTS is likely the kernel to be used by Debian 11, Mageia 8, and others. For the likes of Fedora 34 and Ubuntu 21.04 we are more likely to see Linux 5.11 at play.

So may be another half a year or so for Debian. ( And hopefully soon after that for Synology NAS if you are interested in BTRFS )

The Atari 2600 Webserver
Yes, as you hinted at, the first thing to note is that the local government isn't necessarily involved in an eviction. Owners of smaller properties have been known to change the locks and simply remove or discard a tenant's property and then deal with legal fallout (if the evicted tenant can even afford legal assistance) later. In other cases, residents aren't actually aware of their legal rights and allow themselves to be unlawfully evicted. Also, some property owners are abusing the system as we've seen in states like California where they claim to be intending to sell or occupy the property to force tenants out.

In smaller communities, it's not uncommon for the local government to enforce their own interpretations or rules placed at the state and local level.

In short, evictions are happening, even if they shouldn't be in many cases. And as moratoriums expire in the near future, we should expect many more Americans to become homeless or evicted due to the failure of primarily the federal government but some local and state governments as well.

Washington State, as an example, has publicly spoken out about unlawful evictions and has warned to pursue legal action against property owners that violate the state's moratorium on evictions. For example, just one example from April 2020:

https://www.q13fox.com/news/washington-attorney-general-dire...

Washington State's moratorium is currently set to expire in December:

Seriously, the kernel averages about 200-250 new contributors every release (i.e. every 2 1/2 months). We are not starved for new contributors at the moment at all, do you think we are somehow not attracting new developers compared to other open source projects?

Yes. Other comments in this thread have pointed out that the airplane has a very narrow window of acceptable speed that's not too fast (overspeed, damages the plane) and too slow (stall, causes the plane to drop out of the sky).
Given that there’s evidence of the attacker replacing their tools after gaining credentialed access and how long the supply chain has been in place, it’s going to be difficult to rule out compromise if you’re a SolarWinds customer. Logs that would record relevant activity of the trojan likely won’t go back all that long.

Software monoculture
Genius! I remember having to install ruby and to run jekyll for the whole purpose of creating html pages with templating! I thought to myself: If I wanted something as complicated as that I would just write it in PHP and "require" the pieces conditionally and just build it by doing "php index.php > index.html", works just as well for someone who doesn't know ruby. Also most web developers already program with javascript, so why invent a ruby tool for that job?

So that's a pretty cool project! Thanks for sharing! Will create some experiments!
Nope. Theoretically it should be happening but it rarely happens. In fact, given the sophistication of this particular adversary, they would have just compromised the build server(and resign the binary) and I doubt anyone goes to the length of verifying the build server builds against some reference.

No, people are supposed to use ReleaseSafe, especially "in production". You can still disable runtime checks in specific execution paths.

ReleaseFast is for applications where there are no disastrous consequences to a bug in the code, like videogames.

SolarWinds Security Advisory: https://www.solarwinds.com/securityadvisory
Google employs over 100K people. With that many people there are statistically going to be people with the most amazing and dreadful experiences of working at the place - none of them representative.
To be honest, though, if they did provide all the details, they'd criticized for "overwhelming" users with too much information -- most of which would probably be useless to the majority of users who either wouldn't (care|pay attention|understand) anyways.

That said, I'm sure there's a reasonable level somewhere in the middle. The current situation certainly doesn't sound like it, although I haven't used any form of Microsoft MFA, so I can't really say either way.
Ex-Nazi's brilliant U.S. career strangled in a web of lies (1981)
I have a creeping feeling that systems like this (one of the most famous of them is GTD, but there are many, many others) are designed by people with a certain temperament: they are organized anyway, and their ability to continually keep things neat and orderly, following the same algorithm day after day, is what really helps them, and what particular system they choose to follow, doesn't really matter much.

But then they are unsuccessfully applied by people with a completely different, chaotic temperament, which are not able to maintain any such system for a significant amount of time anyway. We (as I'm certainly from the second kind) try one system after another, hoping that this will be the one that finally saves us from ourselves, but the real difference lies not in the system, but in something very fundamental in our psyche. It doesn't matter how beautiful the system is, or how fancy are the pens that we buy each september (school memories are the best example of this) - a couple of months later it will lie abandoned and forgotten.

May be I'm wrong? Has there been a single HN user that has been unorganized and chaotic most of his life, but then have actually turned things around because of such a system? Would love to hear about it.

Do you have any idea what time window they had to generate collisions in?

The MS article on the collision says the attack required knowledge of, among other things, the predictable serial numbers. They could have had as little as the usual inter-cert issuance time, or in the worst-case scenario with entirely predictable numbers could have had months or more.

Depending on the window the funds required would change dramatically.
When you buy food-safe plastic (BPA/BPS-free plastic) it won't contain one of many bad ingredients, but microplastic comes from many sources of plastic, some which do contain BPA/BPS. BPA is known to harm the brain & prostate, BPS is known to cause hormone disruption. BPA is found in lining of aluminum cans, toys, & polycarbonate.

I don't know how much is retained, but the plastics have been found in the meat of cows & fish, so it's likely spread all throughout our bodies as well.
Similarly I've long been saying that our generation is the first to have no real connection to the natural world. Our grandparents grew up with their grandparents who would have been firmly planted in Terra-cognito or at least been hearing stores of it. But our parents, once removed, had nothing "real" to pass on to us, just stories at best. The baby-boomers specificlly sought to cut ties to their "stiff" parental figures and mostly were successful in reshaping the world as individualistic, something that NEVER would have worked as a survival strategy for any previous generation.

My take, the baby-boomers consciously severed our ties to the past as their children we have now lost all connections to the natural world. We get what we deserve which is utter destruction of the climate and mental suffering and disease until the day we die.

I suppose I can't say that I know with absolutely certainty that they were safer, but we would talk with locals and got a general feel for what places are more or less safe.

One explanation was that the cartel members have families too and keep the cities their families live in free or more free of that sort of trouble.

I would look into place like San Miguel De Allende, Valladolid, Puerto Escondito, Puerta Vallarta and the small villages north of it, Todos Santos, Oaxaca, San Cristobal De Las Casa. Guanajuato.

Many detection tools do leverage the fact that if there is spike in NXDOMAIN DNS responses, it could be a malware. However such signals are also exhibited by infra issues. This is sort of analogous to cancer detection. Cancers cells are really good at disguising themselves.
