There are hundreds of cybersecurity companies telling their users what to worry about. GreyNoise is the only cybersecurity company telling users what not to worry about. We are an early-stage cybersecurity product company trusted by security teams all over the world.

Our thousands of free users and dozens of enterprise customers use our products to:

1) Understand the Internet
2) Reduce drag in the security operations center (SOC)
3) Provide insights on opportunistic threats

Every day any given SOC has hundreds or thousands of alerts to investigate. GreyNoise takes a data-driven approach to making the SOC team more efficient from within the products they are already using. (https://developer.greynoise.io/docs/3rd-party-integrations)

We operate a large network of passive collector sensors in hundreds of data centers geographically distributed all around the world. These sensors collect and analyze “Internet Background Noise” which is converted into useful insights and made accessible to our web interface and integrations.

In other words, GreyNoise is like noise canceling headphones for security teams; we tell our customers what not to worry about by eliminating pointless alerts generated by devices all around the Internet. (https://viz.greynoise.io/query/?gnql=last_seen%3A1d)

Any of Lamport's papers are classics and great reading for understanding distributed computing!
Whole Foods is a wet market by definition.
I think the hypothesis is that they aren't exposed to as many pathogens in general (due to increased sanitation/attention to cleanliness), not that the negative effects will be due to no exposure to covid (which doesn't appear very serious for infants in any case).
The article seems to think that the support period for Windows is "3 to 5 years". It's really 10.

Microsoft offers 5 years of "mainstream" support, where the OS can get feature enhancements and so on, plus an additional 5 years of security and critical bug fixes.

All versions of Windows since Windows XP have seen at least 10 years of support, which makes a lot of this article obsolete.

Someone could have got their PC with Windows 7 in 2009, had a free upgrade to Windows 10 and can get updates until at least 2025.

Lilo and Stitch is another very non-traditional Disney animated film that I think was quite funny and well-done.

You know it’s not your usual Disney fare when a character vomits on-screen in the first few minutes. (Granted, it was a robot vomiting gears, but still.
How does this compare to BuckleScript or Reason?
Hey, can you email me? I'm currently writing a resource like this and you are exactly my target audience, and I'd love to show you some of what I'm doing and get some feedback.
When their servers were under heavy load, you could attempt to place and it would error, but then you would get an order confirmation later saying it went through. The best part is that even though it didn't execute, you weren't able to cancel it because the transaction didn't display anywhere.
He's the problem I'm grappling with when it comes to r/WallstreetBets and all this information about market manipulation: When you believe that there are big cabals manipulating the market everything starts to look like some coordinated attack.

Buy silver because they don't want you to! Or, don't buy silver because that's a distraction from the real manipulation!

Who do you believe? I'm no stranger to conspiracy theories and my fear is that the WSB community is getting swept up in conspiratorial thinking. Sadly, with billions and billions of dollars at stake there probably is market manipulation happening, so the paranoid will feel vindicated when some manipulation is eventually discovered and acted upon - see the recent $GME situation. But there's going to be a massive false-positive rate on manipulation claims. I don't see things ending well for the average person getting swept up in this frenzy.
If you have a known increase in traffic at a certain date/time that auto-scaling (either EC2 or NLB/ALB or another service) can't handle fast enough you can let AWS know through your support contract to over-provision during that time or the scale up will take too long.
I am a liberal, but jump to defend free speech as the FSF would.

You only need to look at Parler to see that narratives are being enforced.

My worry is that when we stop standing up for free speech, eventually we'll find our own speech under attack.
This comment reminds me of the comments people made about Dropbox originally: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224
When an entire political ideology for a major political party has shifted from lower taxes and increased individual freedom to fascist conspiracy theories based on misinformation it’s hard to swallow how you don’t agree with deplatforming those espousing such hate.

Prior to January 6 it wasn’t as clear what we were dealing with. Afterwards it was clear the same monsters of yesteryear reared their heads.

I think it's healthy for social networks to curb the spread of fake news. Unfortunately for conservatives, reality has a well known liberal bias.
I know very little about ML, being just the host, but I think 'explore vs exploit' trade off that Jason mentions sounds like an improvement on pure 'exploit'. Explore is finding new interests and not just exploiting existing ones.

I think you are correct to have concerns around optimizing for pure engagement though. These algos are giant optimizing machines. What should we be asking them to optimize? That seems like an important question that was only vaguely touched on in this discussion.
Is this sort of pabulum really interesting to HN readers?
> But there’s no evidence that Twitter intentionally shadow banned Republicans or anyone else. Rather, Twitter said it experienced a technical glitch which caused some 600,000 accounts including those of some Democratic politicians—not to be auto-suggested when people searched for them.

> The problem grew out of Twitter’s efforts beginning more than a year earlier to remove or down-rank low-quality and harassing accounts. What apparently happened was that large numbers of these disfavored accounts had inter acted with the Republican politicians’ accounts. This caused Twitter’s search system not to auto-suggest the Republicans, the company said. The malfunction, which never had to do with bias against politicians of either party, was fixed within 24 hours. 40 But the claims of partisanship related to the episode have continued to echo years later.

So, they're not shadow-banning anyone, but they're shadow-banning. Nice gaslighting.

Submitted because it resonated a lot with my own thoughts on "The sad state of personal data and infrastructure" [0] (HN discussion here [1])

However unlike my approach, which so far is centered around adversarial interoperability, the article also talks about some potential benefits for businesses which need personal data.

Whenever I hear about 'Gamify-ing work' or anything similar I think of the movie Brazil.

I like to imagine that those exercise bikes/puzzles are an example of this morphed into something horrible.

Not particularly insightful from what I can glean, and essentially boils down to "Twitter isn't particularly transparent about banning therefore we can't say much about it". That's fine, agnosticism about it is a defensible position. I'm a little skeptical when an academic report is presented in a magazine-style layout with "fancy" graphics and a dearth of substantive data though. That kind of thing is typical of think tanks and "policy recommendations", which are designed for maximal persuasion instead of maximal analysis.

Sedition | Senior Front-End Developer | Remote (Europe) | https://www.seditionart.com/
Sedition is a platform for selling and collecting digital artworks. We've been doing this for the last 10 years and since have become one of the industry leaders. Our artwork collection consists 4000+ artworks including works from artists like Tracey Emin, Shepard Fairey, Yoko Ono and many other well regarded names. Every sold artwork is a limited edition and collectors have the right to resell their collected artworks. Our goal is to create a platform for art collecting in digital space.

Last year we've gained some exciting traction and looking for new people to help improve the product. We're a small team based in Europe, originally in London but since pandemic we've ditched our office and became fully remote.

As a front-end developer you will be working on improving our website (React / TypeScript) and apps (React Native). Occasionally we would ask you to help with back-end (Ruby on Rails) and possibly other things Tizen OS (Samsung), WebOS (LG), Chromecast, Apple TV (Obj-C). We don't expect you to be familiar with these other technologies, but if you like art and want to broaden your skillset don't hesitate to apply.

Tessian | London, UK or Remote (GMT -3 to GMT +3) | https://tessian.com

* Lead NLP Data Scientist | bit.ly/NLPatTessian

* Backend Engineer | bit.ly/BackendAtTessian

* Senior Platform Engineer | bit.ly/PlatformAtTessian

At Tessian, we're building machine-intelligent filters to secure enterprise communications. This involves high volume, low latency data processing for some of the world’s largest organisations. Our mission is to keep the world’s most sensitive data private and secure - to do this we're bringing on all stripes of engineer to help build out our platform to support our next stage of rocket-ship growth.

Principles we believe in:

- Infrastructure as code (mostly Terraform)

- Unit Testing & Integration Testing (NUnit, PyTest, Mocha)

- Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment (using Concourse)

- Designing security in (rather than testing for and adding it later)

- Measuring everything (ELK & Prometheus)

- Reproducible builds and environments (if it’s in production, it’s in Docker)

- Cloud Deployments (AWS gives us the flexibility we need to move fast)

- Right tool for the right job (PostgreSQL, Spark/Hadoop, Redis, Elastic Search)
FullStory | Sr iOS Engineer | Atlanta or REMOTE (US, Canada, or UK) | https://www.fullstory.com/

FullStory for Mobile Apps is an analytics/session replay framework that records the app's draw calls - omitting anything that is potentially private - then allows the sessions to be analyzed and replayed in our web app.

It helps our customers narrow down where their users are getting stuck, and what steps reproduce bugs and edge cases.

Our iOS code is in Objective-C & Rust (we do work with Swift, but we have to be compatible with every version of the Swift runtime, so we don't ship any Swift code). And then Android code is in Java + Rust. On the server/web side, we use Go to process the data and TypeScript for the web app.

We're looking for one more engineer with deep knowledge of iOS to help us continue iterating and improving.

As one of my co-workers put it:

> Work on state-of-the-art recording of iOS apps to provide a rich, privacy-respecting analytics experience. Reverse engineer iOS frameworks to learn how they work and how they can be used efficiently. Use low level capabilities of the Objective-C runtime to solve problems unique to iOS.

You can also see our team manager's post from a couple of months back for another take on things: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24969524

I'm one of the engineers on the team; if you have any question, feel free to comment here or email me directly: nathan@[company site]. If you'd just like to apply, please use the link below.

The company as a whole is awesome. Hands-down my favorite job in my ~15 year career. Smart, humble people. A focus on empathy, clarity, and "bionics" (e.g. automation, but more than just that). Competitive pay[1], and solid benefits (Anthem insurance, Vanguard 401k, etc.) paired with a great work-life balance. And more than just "remote friendly", FullStory strives to be "remote equal". (We were about 20% remote last year, it's more like 80-90% now.) Check out https://bwamp.me/ for one example of that.

Apply for the Sr iOS Engineer role at https://boards.greenhouse.io/fullstory/jobs/4918319002?gh_sr...

[1]: I'm not sure what the pay range is for this role, but I'd guess maybe $160-190k, + ~$10-15k/year of equity. I made about double that TC at my last job, but I'm so much happier here.

We also have quite a few other roles open in IT, Design, Finance, Legal, Marketing, Recruiting, Engineering, Product Management, and Sales. See https://boards.greenhouse.io/fullstory?t=cf0d4d232us for the complete list and https://www.fullstory.com/careers/ for some general info.
Solid seems like an idea that only makes sense if your key goal is allowing cloud providers to offer proprietary services that use your data, while still storing it elsewhere.

But I'd say most people fall either into "I don't mind proprietary services holding my data" or "I want to self-host the preferably open source application and my data". I don't see the benefit of separating the two at all, and I think the only reason this project keeps coming up and around is the name of the guy pushing it.

"Solid is a mid-course correction for the Web by its inventor, Sir Tim Berners-Lee" is very literally the only selling point I think Solid has.

Sandstorm or Cloudron have a better model, self-host (or pay someone to host for you) all of your apps and data together, in an easy interface for adding new apps like an app store.
I'm arguing against the hidden premise that "having a dozen different client thingies" is a potentially good thing for users. It nearly never is, and the fact that a dozen devs derived pleasure from creating them doesn't change that.

I'll go even further and claim that "user choice" is code for, "warning: nobody in this space is competent enough in UI/UX to derive pleasure from working on it." In fact in mastodon's design, it's not even code-- the "choice" of servers by topic is literally a limitation imposed on the user before even signing up. So the very first part of the UX has a circular dependency-- choose a server to try out the service and discover which server most suits your interests. It'd be like Google redesigning search so that you have to type subreddit-style topic into the URL before searching.

Additionally, this "choice" meme seems to conveniently disappear for software that has a thoughtful UI. I don't see anyone talking about the downside of Krita not having multiple other half-baked UI's than very impressive one it ships with.

Personally I've always wished they'd just do backordering, especially with the PS5. Pre-orders sold out? That's fine just let me get in a queue instead of having to check back constantly and try to race for one. I think that alone would kill the scalper market.
Great. During work hours.

How to Approach Tech Interviews
There's something to be said for a little social lubrication humanizing the people you work with and making actual work interactions better.
Family is a straw man, nobody's saying you have to marry the company.

However, note that you're spending 8 hours most of your days with these people. It is undoubtedly easier if the relationship is cordial, friendly, and if you can banter with them during the off moments.

There is a human element to every interaction and people are not robots.

"You pay me, I return value, that's it" reduces you to a nameless, faceless, replacable, fungible resource.

I would not like to work in a place where that's it.
So if I understand this right, Robinhood destroyed their own reputation and greatly damaged their business, not because the DTCC increased collateral requirements 30x for GME and forced them to raise a billion dollars, but because an easily replaceable market maker asked them to?

Has Robinhood already suspended buying silver due to the volatility in order to "protect customers from risk"? No?
It doesn't have to be something complex like playing a game of League of Legends. Just playing something more accessible and simple like Codenames or the Jackbox games works too.
