Search and discovery:

The ship was located by the Columbus-America Discovery Group of Ohio, led by Tommy Gregory Thompson, using Bayesian search theory. A remotely operated vehicle (ROV) was sent down on 11 September 1988. Significant amounts of gold and artifacts were recovered and brought to the surface by another ROV built specifically for the recovery. The total value of the recovered gold was estimated at $100–150 million. A recovered gold ingot weighing 80 lb (36 kg) sold for a record $8 million and was recognized as the most valuable piece of currency in the world at that time.

Thirty-nine insurance companies filed suit, claiming that because they paid damages in the 19th century for the lost gold, they had the right to it. The team that found it argued that the gold had been abandoned. After a legal battle, 92% of the gold was awarded to the discovery team in 1996.

Thompson was sued in 2005 by several of the investors who had provided $12.5 million in financing, and in 2006 by several members of his crew, over a lack of returns for their respective investments. In 2009 he had an off-shore account in the Cook Islands of 4.16 million.
Thompson went into hiding in 2012. A receiver was appointed to take over Thompson's companies and, if possible, salvage more gold from the wreck, in order to recover money for Thompson's various creditors.

In March 2014, a contract was awarded to Odyssey Marine Exploration to conduct archeological recovery and conservation of the remaining shipwreck. The original expedition had only excavated "5 percent" of the ship.

Thompson was located in January 2015, along with assistant Alison Antekeier, by US Marshals agents, and was extradited to Ohio to provide an accounting of the expedition profits. In November 2018 Thompson agreed to surrender 500 gold coins - but then claimed he has no access to the missing coins. On 28 November 2018 a jury awarded Investors 19.4 million in compensatory damages-3.2 Million to the Dispatch Printing Company [which had put up 1 million of 22 million invested] and 16.2 million to the court appointed receiver of the other investors.

You may want to work on your phrasing then, because that was sure the way it came off. You say that culturally we’re a certain way and then that you feel that you’re a better person for being different.
I’ve only caught a few episodes of Futurama, so I hunted this one down on Hulu to watch it tonight.

Wow. Brutal.

Then I read that piece, and read the comments on it, and cried some more, and then found this one.

I worked for a company that had all their Customer data stolen and then sold on a darknet market place.

They completely swept it under the rug, told the infosec guys that if they talked about the incident with anyone they would have their employment terminated and that it was to never be discussed because they were worried about their share price.

We also have laws here in Australia that says if this happens to a business it mandatory to disclose the breach to your customers.

> you must notify affected individuals and us when a data breach involving personal information is likely to result in serious harm.

A employee anonymously reported the breach to the government agency that handles this, who in turn contacted the business with a "Please explain. Right now."

The next day after they were contacted they fired every single IT department staff member. Helpdesk, Infosec, Networks... All fired, because they couldn't figure out who reported it.

Nothing ever happened to the business as they somehow convinced the government that the data that was stolen was "made up junk data used for testing" despite it being obviously clear that it was current customer info.

This crap happens all the time and businesses are continued to be allowed to get away with hiding breaches from people.

All it does is help the share price and disadvantage the customers.
jeez this is terrifying. can someone just give me peace of mind that I'm not going to be nuked
Sadly it only used to be that way for me. In genres I liked, the consensus could be all the way down to 30% and I knew I would enjoy it, as in 30% and above would be a good movie for me. But then things with 70% positive audience reviews in the same genre started being imo the dumbest poorly written, composed, experiences...

I guess this is a sign of getting old and out of touch? or the presence of shills? I dont know but I know not to trust them
I don’t think you read the article. He’s not being held because the greedy state wants the gold for themselves and he won’t let them have it. He’s being held because he defrauded the investors that funded his treasure hunt and went on the run.
The trial can’t begin because those he defrauded cannot be made whole, when he’s clearly in possession of a critical piece of evidence but is refusing to cooperate.
Would you feel the same way of Bernie Madoff was better at hiding his stolen money and so he had to wait in jail longer before they started the trial while the investigators looked for it?
thank you!

Despite all the defenses of such by progammers who claim hardware always improving and code cosmetics/organizational trends obviate software performance concerns, I can attest to the reality that I composed electronic music with completely software instruments and effects on 512mb ram on earlier versions of certain unnamed DAW's with all the "latest" plugins at the time. My last Macbook pro 2011 with 4gb ram on Snow Leopard was sufficient, but once I updated it to Yosemite and went from Cubase 5 to Cubase 9, from Ableton 5.5 to Ableton 10, that it went from "performing just fine" to basically running the fan the entire time and glitching at basic playback of sessions I was previously working on no problem. (same plugins).
The Steinberg Cubase one being the biggest noticable turd, and I blame their acquisition by Yamaha, as the customer-service also went down the tubes, as I waited months to get a reply on a replacement USB dongle (also a sucky thing for a laptop with 2 USB ports, but I digress)

Software bloat kills. It's not all deliberate, but if our values don't change from "who cares" to "we care", we can't expect any change.
Is uncaring mega-corp structure the cause? (programmer wants to go home, project is badly managed, bugs outnumber features, let's start a new project, etc?)
I'm curious what folks think is the cause of poor-quality buggy bloated "modern" software that is demonstrably worse than older software.

It's not an improvement in technology, it's simply that our modern world cares more about superficial animated menu openings than about performance.

Mind you, not ALL software follows this trend. Reaper still kicks A, but that's because Mr. Frankl has a vision, integrity, and still maintains control lol

anyway, about chips and processes, it's not about getting tinier and tinier, it's about an intelligent design.
All the efficiency improvements in the process are wasted if the goal is to make a mega-poo-renderer that renders 0.1 turds per KW of power expended.

Controversial thought of the day:
I will reckon that a simple interrupt driven event-loop on a microcontroller running all HID input is a million times more efficient than the convoluted way a context switching multitasking operating system handles the same under full load with full memory saturation.

It’s a really nicely written manual, clearly targeted at the novice.

Appendix B (Limitations on BASIC) gives a rule-of-thumb for the maximum length of a program as "in general about 2 feet".

It was evidently possible to create a complex program in 2 feet as they make the suggestion (on page 46) that a GOTO or IF might jump to a REM statement.

However, some unusual advice is given on page 4 which might have caused confusion: Because “line numbers also serve to specify the order in which the statements are performed by the computer … you could type your program in any order”.
This would be a pretty wild explanation for the run on BTC recently

He has not just met experts, he has gone through the full 4 or 5 year Indian Ayurvedic degree, which includes some parts of MBBS degree, IIRC.

I have not read his Aghora series. That could be esoterica or even a spoof,
who knows. I have only read his Ayurveda book. Doubt that that book is wrong, since my family has some background in Ayurveda as users for two generations or more. Also read his bio on his site - says he was gold medals winner in his Ayurveda degree exams from the Pune university he studied at. I know of that school. Unlikely to be fake info, could easily be verified.
This is absurd.

For a couple years I was taking 4 flights/week. I absolutely hate flying now and the conclusion I came to was that travel has a lot of anxieties, and air travel in particular involves even more. There are so many variables out of your control that have to go your way to be successful.
"liars in practice" is uncharitable at best. A headline has some maximum number of words, and there is only so much that can be conveyed. "Technically true" is strong standard to meet in under a sentence. Is this purposefully misleading? I would say no.

See my direct reply to you. There doesn't appear to be non-classified evidence that can attribute it (yet - at least available to FireEye/Mandiant).

But members of the US subcommittee on Cybersecurity have attributed it and asked for the evidence they saw to be declassified.

Having said that, it wouldn't surprise me if in coming days it is able to be positively attributed from non-classified sources. This attack seems very widespread, and while it seems extremely professionally done in the past we've seen how small errors make attribution possible.

Usually it's that an exploit developer reused some supporting infrastructure that has been previously seen and it can be attributed from that.
Given the scope of the attack I think it’s reasonable to assume all high value targets were compromised in someway. It’s more a matter of what specifically was compromised, what data was exfiltrated, how much of the attack was offline, are Thunder going to start breaking a as la stuxnet etc.
I have the opposite problem. I keep moving the goal post. My goals seem to change as my perspective changes. To a point where I feel like I will never accomplish everything I want to.

I thought the misspelling that contains a racial slur would show up highly, given that it's only one letter off, and the 'a' variant does rank high; but perhaps some subconscious "mental filtering" in the participants avoided that.
Ask HN: How do you keep track of all your work?
I've recently transitioned to an Engineering Leadership role within a large enterprise, and one thing I struggle with is keeping track of all my work and commitments, big and small. I try and keep notes in a notepad, but sometimes after I'm on my 4th or 5th page of notes for the day, I quickly forget to transcribe and organise those notes at the end of the day. And not to mention, that's not really that fun. I've tried using Joplin for taking notes on the computer, I've tried markdown files in Vim, but I struggle to make that habitual as it's kind of out-of-site-out-of-mind, and I usually end up reverting to reactionary ways of working and prioritising whatever is at the top of my email inbox.

Any advice on methodologies, or tools?

I've read and followed GTD before, but find it a little too granular and feel like I don't really have the right tools to pull it off (restricted internet access at work so many cloud solutions like evernote are off the table for myself). I also struggle with keeping notes during meetings, sometimes my notes are very sparse and not actually capturing the detail and thoughts that need to be captured. Having 4-8 hours of meetings every day also makes it difficult to find time to gather thoughts between those meetings, but I try to flesh out my notes post meeting if I can and that helps a little.
Lockdowns are horribly unfair to those that can follow the guidelines about social distances, mask weareing, etc. I'm not sure what your country did, but especially the European lockdowns when you couldn't even walk down the street. So ridiculous.
"Imagine how much assistance they would need if they didn't have jobs."

That would be better.

I would MUCH rather pay for them to be in school instead of just paying part of Bezos' and other Amazon investors operating costs.

Shit I wish I could have a buch of employees and get someone else to pay for them. What a great idea! Why doesn't everyone do that? I mean except for the employees of course. They can't have companies staffed by employees they don't pay for. Duh. Only Amazon and Walmart can have that, obvs. I mean who would be their employees? You? Not me. I guess we need something like a seperate class or group of people who have to be the underpaid employees so that the rest of us can enjoy being the employers without paying for it. We used to have that back in the good old days...

It's almost like this is a stupid argument that there is no way to excuse, and no amount of indirect smoke & mirrors or denial gets around that, and anyone even trying deserves to be among the first people rounded up for the new press gangs they think are so fair a great.
For me it would be about the ceremony and recognition of getting the medal not getting the medal in and of itself so it would be a sour result for me to experience that.

I hope the fact that I can recognize this about myself helps me avoid pitfalls in choosing goals.
Yep, this is exactly how I feel.

When I was a teen, I was annoyed by how locked down iOS was, so I participated heavily in the jailbreak community. Jailbreak exploits, apps, mods, themes, repos – you name it, I got involved. So every time Apple made iOS harder to jailbreak, I'd get annoyed. I'd swear eventually I'd give up on iOS altogether and move somewhere else.

But in the end, the opposite happened. I got older, and I realized that really, truly, if I was being honest with myself, I didn't need all the "openness" that I was spending so many hours working towards. As time went on, the fiddling I was doing in deeper levels of the OS became more and more unnecessary. All the openness did was make my device less stable and less secure (except in the case of comex's JBM2/PDF exploit, which was patched by jailbreakers before Apple had released 4.0.2, but I think that is the exception that makes the rule).

And I guess maybe that is why I'm not as worried about these changes as other hackers are. Apple started out with a locked-down iPhoneOS that didn't even have a 3rd party App Store. You couldn't get more closed. Time went on and Apple made it harder and harder to open, but added more and more functionality. I was worried about the trajectory when I was younger, but now I've just bought an iPhone 12 Pro and it's the best phone I've ever owned, and I don't even care enough about jailbreaking to check if I can. So I'm not worried about macOS either.
Amazon sends sends the questions out and presents them as if you specifically were being asked by somebody.

It's like if Amazon built a guide map by walking up to people on the street and asking, "how do you get to the airport from here?" and writing down the response verbatim. A reasonable person would tend to respond, "I don't know" rather than ignoring a direct question asked of them.

The list on the page is partial, and the language on that page is disturbingly dismissive. Reading leaves me more concerned that they're too arrogant to take security researchers seriously.

You realize people are more than just one thing right? If someone won a Nobel prize for physics, and then murdered someone, the murder doesn't make the physics wrong. You understand that, right? Like, if we discovered tomorrow that Isaac Newton was a pedophile, the theory of gravity is still something important and still works. You can hold people accountable for one action and still recognize that other things they did may have been correct. You don't have to hold an all-or-nothing approach like releasing murderers who might be physics geniuses.
But the voting machines, they were fine. Biden obviously won.
Several examples of fume events in the article are from Airbus planes as well, especially Jet Blue ones. I suspect because Boeing is closer to home, the journalists have more insider insight as to the internal decisions to not do anything at Boeing, thus putting them in an even more negative light. I would guess Airbus is just as bad. The actual airlines seem to be neglegent as well, fighting to not pay workers comp.
Those look like Java loops, and I don't recall them being much more than sugar over a for loop (although presumably they're implementing some Iterable class and apply to more than just arrays).

Either way, like most things in functional programming, it's often about restricting your functions so that they're easier to reason about. There's nothing special about the map function really in any pragmatic sense except when used in conjunction with the other features a good language affords.

I'm also curious if you think something like:

listOfListsmap : List (List Int) -> List (List Int)
listOfListsmap =
(List.map << List.map) (\n -> n + 1)

is easier to understand at a quick glance than a rough equivalent using those loops above:

collections.forEach(x -> {
// anything could happen here to x before the inner loop processes it
// and since we're probably dealing with mutable variables, the inner loop can
presumably access things I put here (which may or may not be a problem, but is something you have to think about)
x.forEach(y -> {
// do something with y, we can do anything with x *and* y here
y = y + 1;
}
}

knowing that << is the composition function.

Mind you, I'm personally opposed to a sugar tax myself, since I like soda, so you have my bias explicitly stated here. I'm also interpreting his initial thing as a proxy for the more established "unhealthy food tax", most commonly proposed as a sugar tax.

>It’s not about “virtue points.” Its about understanding the true nature of the problem. Poorer people don’t disproportionately eat that food just because they’re too dumb to know better or somehow lack willpower. They often lack the time or access to higher quality affordable food. So by taxing it, you’ve just made a hard lifestyle even harder. To a large extent, the food consumption is the symptom of much larger problems. It’s not like just taxing soda will fix the US’s obesity epidemic. (The percentage of calories coming from soda doesn’t actually amount to enough - the numbers I’ve heard are around 6%). If anything, this type of taxation is the feel-good regulation that ignores the root problem. IMO that’s anything but pragmatic and tends to be be a shortfall of technocrats who sometimes fail to see the larger picture that spans multiple domains.

So, this isn't a feel-good regulation, nor is it something that ignores the root problems, The current research shows that a sugar tax would be effective. The fundamental issue here is that they ingest too many calories, and sugar is by far and large the easiest way to do so. You're saying that they'll have problems affording sugary foods. That's the entire point. This is not a tax that's targeted at revenue or fairness, this is a tax that's fundamentally constructed to modify behavior.

Furthermore, from a nutritional standpoint, 6% of calories from soda is huge. That's a half litre of soda per day or double what the Europeans drink on average. Remember that for obesity, it's the little things done many times that gets you. A consistent increase in calories per day, compounded over the years is exactly how you get an obesity problem. Of course it's one of many factors, but it is an important factor and low hanging fruit at that.
What about setting the goal as a "routine" instead of an end result? e.g. Every week, jog 3 times, each for 10 km. Instead of running a full marathon by year 2021. That way the process itself is the pursuit and you can only achieve more and more. For me, coding itself falls in this category that I have yet to grow tired of
