Correlation does not imply causation. True economic strength would result in both higher stock prices (reflecting stronger companies) and a stronger dollar (reflecting increased demand for those companies' goods and services). One needs to take the stock market prices in the context of the actions of the Federal Reserve and despite the weakness of the economy.

Detailed knowledge about microbiology and genetics also means that smaller variations are found more often. A new variant of this strain might not be "the most interesting news of the day" unless you are a scientists working with the virus, but think about it: a hundred years ago most doctors could not tell if you had the flu or the rona, due to similar macroscopic symptoms, yet for a geneticist those are as related as a human and a fish. Personally if find "nigerian cdc can sequence viral rna and detect new variants" is good news. Shows that the gap is closing.

On the other hand, a more siloed culture with managers given carte blanche to run their reports as they see fit can easily fall prey to toxic environments of abuse, especially if the management above only cares if the EPMs are filing satisfactory reports and enough radars are being closed. The only thing protecting employees from abuse are then a weakened HR system that lacks full visibility into the system’s workings. And thus in parts of the organization, subcultures of toxicity and dysfunction are protected by a code of silence- of being siloed.

Your second link seems to confirm the main point of the Reddit post, about median vs top workers.
That’s often the concept of subcontractors: you tell your subcontractor to not do legally and morally questionable stuff while both of you know that they will do that. You take most of the profits from that while taking no legal responsibility.

Usually this happens though when companies outsource their core business (construction or package delivery), so that applies not that well to Apple.
I agree with the sentiment that cert expiry is a frequent cause of outages. I think short lived certs and automated cert management are a better fix versus certs that never expire (for that issue).

If you don't have an expiry then you'd need to keep certificate revocations around forever, so your CRL grows without bound. Currently the certificate revocation list can remove expired certificates as clients won't use them. There's also lots of clients that don't check CRLs. Those clients would be forever vulnerable to a stolen certificate if we removed expiry.

Imagine if you inherited the infrastructure for a company where the previous admin created certs, lost track of them, and used questionable methods for securing them. I believe you'd struggle to find and revoke every previously issued certificate. The expiry ensures that gets cleaned up, eventually.

I don't have a good solution to the Nokia Symbian problem. I suspect if the device only supports SHA-1 then there are other unpatched security issues. Does anyone know if that's the case? If so, this seems more like a support and patching issue.

Sooner or later, we should stop using textual diff and switch over to higher level one/multiple, such as the AST-level diff (see what GrammaTech does, for example). This and integration of dependency management, is a must IMO.

"Bayesian inference on the other hand is a specific type of statistical model where the aim is to model distributions, not just the output variable (which is what ML is traditionally focused on)." - What distribution are you referring to? One of the advantages of the Bayesian approach (in the context of models and not of probability, it is not a model, it is a way of estimating the values of the parameters of a model) is that it provides a proper statistical distribution—and not a distribution based on theoretical formulas that require certain assumption to be true to have certain properties—of parameters and model predictions.

ELI5: When there is a lot of demand for something, the value of that thing goes up. When you increase the supply of that thing, the value goes back down. In other words, the value of a thing changes based on both supply and demand.

Inflation is where the value of dollars goes down. As long as you don't print more dollars than people are demanding, you won't get hyperinflation.

The U.S. dollar, for one reason or another, is in high demand all over the world. Other national currencies are not, so when they printed too much of their currency they got hyperinflation.

If the U.S. printed too many dollars too quickly, or demand for dollars dropped quickly, the dollar could see hyperinflation too.

For leaves and everything else below a root, the expiration (notAfter in X.509) tells us when the issuer ceases to be responsible for the contained assertion being true.

For example take a 90 day Let's Encrypt certificate. When it was issued ISRG had recently (likely seconds earlier) verified that the subscriber apparently had control over all the names listed.

Suppose a month later one of the names has been sold to you. You're entitled to have that certificate revoked. Since you control the name, you can just do the Let's Encrypt proof-of-control dance and get it revoked, issue a new one instead, whatever you want.

They issue millions of certificates every day, so they don't want to remain indefinitely responsible for the ones from last July, from 2018, and so on. Ninety days later, having expired, ISRG has no opinion about whether the holder of the certificate still controls those names, and if you call that revocation API it will refuse, there isn't anything to revoke because it has expired.

Now, if the certificate you're shown is 15 seconds expired, is it so much more likely that it's really because they don't control this name any more than it was a minute earlier? Not really, but we must draw a line in the sand somewhere, or else a 10 year old certificate for "www.microsoft.com" is still valid right?

For the root the argument is a bit trickier, after all they could just issue themselves a new certificate with the same keys but a different expiry date - and some root CAs have done this in the past.

In this case (for roots) as we see with Android not every system actually enforces expiry. Out of the box OpenSSL doesn't for example I think. But the argument as to why expiry matters for roots goes like this: If we are actively managing the trust store, clearly a trusted CA which wants us to continue trusting them should send us a new or updated root in plenty of time. If they forgot we can hardly have confidence in their other processes. If they decided not to we certainly should cease to trust their root when it expires as this signifies they presumably do not intend to obey policy any more, for this root at least.

For example, if you have a Firefox that you just decide not to ever update, I believe it won't enforce expiry of roots. Newer Firefox builds will, like clockwork, remove expired roots entirely. But the old build will continue to trust roots that have notionally expired if you are still running it.

You don't need a massive amount of energy. We could be launching interstellar probes now with current technology. They'll just take 10s/100s of thousands of years to get anywhere.

The real problems are political, technological and ecological stability.

No one has ever built electronics capable of lasting hundreds of thousands of years. It's not obvious if it's possible because on those timescales everything crumbles to dust, especially if it's constantly being abraded by dust and radiation.

And if you don't put your travellers into long-term suspension, political and cultural stability are even more fragile.

And small eco-systems are far less resilient than planet-sized systems - which, it turns out, may not be resilient at all on longer timescales.

So the gap between launching Voyager I/II and launching a self-replicating probe which can reproduce itself physically and culturally is beyond huge.

If you happen to have massive amounts of energy some of these problems get easier, because you can get where you're going more quickly. But some remain immensely difficult.

Which is why percolation is a much better model. There will inevitably be some attrition in any colonisation program, and there may well be a hard limit on the amount of entropy any colonisation program can survive.

Ask HN: If agelessness was genetically possible, wouldn't it have evolved?
For example, if there was a human or animal genetic pattern that made the organism not age, wouldn't that organism have created many offspring (in its long life) and the mutation have spread?

Does the fact that we don't (appear to) observe any ageless vertebrates or humans mean that it's probably not a genetic problem?

Alternately...is it possible that there are adaptive genetic traits that have not yet evolved, but will evolve in future, or is life on Earth already so old that everything that will exist has likely already evolved?
So why disallow merging unrelated histories? Does it cause any actual problems? In many ways it seems like a neater model than what git now does.

The docs of `git merge` do indicate acceptably clearly that multiple commit-ish can be given.

I expect it's really more that "octopus" merge are usually of limited use, most projects are not structured as a distributed "tree of trees" the way the linux kernel is, where merging multiple downstreams regularly is a normal workflow and thus octopus merges make a lot of sense.

They're not perfectly capable, they are security hole ridden messes which haven't gotten a software update of any kind in years. That's not the fault of Let's Encrypt. Shooting the messenger is generally not a winning strategy.

De facto or de jure? Linux isn't technically one, sure, but given that Linux is where the OS hot-shit is now (e.g. eBPF, although I think FreeBSD has the basics - no idea whether it got merged but I saw a student project) is it not fair to say it's where Unix would've been had things been different?

Star Wars (1977).

I suspect most people who read HN weren't around when this movie came out, but I was around then.

There was tremendous hype -- the excitement that this film generated led to lines of people waiting outside movie theaters just to get their chance to see it. People would watch it and then get back into line to watch it again. I remember hearing of people who watched it 15, 20, 25 times.

Star Wars substantially advanced special effects. If you want to get an idea of what the state of special effects were in that era, watch Star Trek (the original series).

"Star Wars" felt _real_. Lightsabers, the use of a "Force" where you could physically moves things from a distance, the glissando effect when a starship goes into hyperspace-- these were all incredibly credible and mind-blowing to people back then.

Star Wars didn't just live up to its hype-- it has exceeded it, becoming a fixture in American culture, and becoming a franchise that continues to generate interest and income today.
I assume it's mostly cultural--perhaps as reinforced by NDAs. I dare say that most people have a reasonable sense of what things involving their company are OK to talk about with outsiders, or perhaps even with other groups within their company, and which aren't.
Debt is the demand. People (governments) are loaning the U.S. money in exchange for the U.S. paying them back in dollars. That's how bad they want dollars.

I see a lot of the trouble India has had in eradicating bad social behavior replicated in the West.

Like dowry, casteism, for example are clearly bad, but if you talk to someone from lower tier cities or villages who believes in all these things, you notice that most efforts from Bollywood, elite celebrities, and journalists to eradicate these things actually have a negative effect. India has huge inequality and the upper classes (especially the liberal upper class) are so hated and reviled by the common people and so out of touch that their many many attempts to handle sensitive topics like sexual assault, Dowry, casteism, etc. end up rubbing their intended audience the wrong way and getting them to tune out the message for good.

You see a really similar thing in the US with Trumpism and the contempt working class people have for the social mores of the liberal upper class.
Yes. But how do you attract scientists if they can't publish their work at conferences, in journals, et c.?
> So why disallow merging unrelated histories? Does it cause any actual problems?

Because it's usually a mistake. Think cutting one of your fingers or running off of a cliff, sometimes it's intentional but in most cases it's likely a mistake.

It's not actually disallowed as there can be the odd use for it[0], just not allowed by default anymore (since Git 2.9: https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/RelNote...).

[0] as the article shows, the linux kernel does seem to have 2, though in both case it could have been done otherwise e.g. by rewriting the history of the external development to be inscribed in the normal kernel history
Doesn't the money has to go back into the "real" economy at some point, i.e. fill a need besides having a bigger number in the bank account/Forbes list?

Or are the recipients of all this wealth already so rich they don't even need another sport car, yacht, villa by the sea or even another forward looking company?

I have to admit I don't understand being so rich I don't know what to do with my money. It feels like even if I had billions, I'd try to be an Elon Musk and use my money to create something. Or maybe even buy and bankroll a NGO, a sport team, artists, whatever. Is this already saturated, are all the opportunities that don't look like a sure scam already taken?

I feel so out of touch with this world, I struggle to even comprehend it.
Copyright Law created in this rushed and essentially covert manner without time for public discussion isn't democracy at work.

This is yet another instance of where the rich and powerful have subverted the democratic process at the expense of ordinary citizens.

The fact that law could actually be enacted this subversive and surreptitious way shows how broken Democracy really is.
Also, whilst Keynes had a number of policy preferences which are unfashionable now ('euthanasia of the rentier' through sustained low interest rates being one), the General Theory explicitly was about how governments could soften economic contractions like the one we're experiencing now, and explicitly wasn't about governments running structural deficits. At various times he argued that higher taxes were necessary and desirable if the government wanted to use more resources, and that government funded services were more desirable than widespread redistribution payments.
> If you have a security incident you can't wait for the expiration date anyway, you need to revoke. And hopefully users have a mechanism to note the revocation in time.

This is the key issue. For a long time there was no working revocation mechanism. With a combination of OCSP, OCSP stapling and the muststaple extension you can get there, but this isn't in widespread use yet. Revocation is a difficult problem.

My dad had a pen pal back when he was a kid. At 16 he finally got a chance to visit him. It was his first time abroad, and away from home without his parents.

My dad had never played Monopoly before and was never good at games, but somehow my dad ended up winning big while his pen pal ended up in ruins. This kid go so upset about it they barely talked for the rest of the week my dad spent there...
Completely agree on the hardware part but software should really receive security updates, especially when you're dealing with other people's data as is the case on a phone. Blame the phone vendors that don't have an adequate support plan for their devices. Or the carriers that sell unsustainable phones with their plans.

But Let's Encrypt is really not the one to blame here. They aren't responsible for outdated phones, they aren't responsible for expiring roots and they actually found a solution for these phones (as described in the article).
