> which guys test all the time

Guys "testing" your boundaries all the time may be common, but it's not the same as respecting your boundaries. What it teaches is a defensiveness and independence that shouldn't be necessary and isn't in itself all that healthy.
Teachers also criticize boys more often, and boys' grades tend to increase when submitted work is anonymized.

Boys and girls experience different gendered teaching practices, but the net result is girls being given higher grades than boys on average.

That is, do a bunch of crap that will immediately make you stand out to any modern (by which I mean, total) surveillance agency. The syndicates' problem isn't stupidity but immodesty – typical of organized crime. They thought they were, not smart, but the smartest, and that made it easy for other criminals to sell them garbage security products.
The argument against fusion is that containment vessels aren't there yet. So this becomes a debate on the speed of containments vessel research.
Is there a standard way to get at "turn the screen white and the brightness up"? I used to have a torch app that had that mode (presumably, lower power than driving the flash LED), along with a few others (like a night-vision-preserving red screen).

Hardly the most challenging app in the world, but it was worth the $.99 I paid for it. I probably could have written it myself, and while I personally would likely have made it free, I felt ok giving somebody a tiny tip for it.
440 Hz?! Preposterous. 432 for life!
We use eks with some customizations specific to elixir and use a autodiscovery service for new nodes to connect to the mesh.

One of the big differences we had to make was allocating one node per machine as the beam likes to have access to all resources. in practice this isn't a problem because its internal scheduler is way more efficient and performant than anything managing OS level processes.

That said, a more complex deployemnt story is defiantly one of the downsides. But the good news is that once setup, its pretty damn resilient.

Now of course, our deployment setup is more complex specifically to take advantage of beam such as distributed pubsub and shared memory between the cluster. If you don't need that, you could use dokku or heroku.
Hmm? This timestamp is known to be local-time, used for measuring durations-between-events on a single session, and not used for cross-session reporting. Time would be compared from one event to the next.

Cross-session reporting (such as calculating DAUs or MAUs) reports on the timestamp from the ingestion service, which is applied at the batch level before a batch of events is placed on the event hub for routing (events are batched and transmitted every 16ms off the client). Typically you can get away with treating everything that happened in the same simulation frame as having happened instantaneously... though we use a monotonically incrementing guaranteed-unique sequence identifier for processing using a high-water-mark (one stream is at-least-once sequentially-guaranteed with retries, while the other stream is lower priority and at-most-once sequentially-guarantied without retries).

No amount of ISO spec will help with client clocks being completely arbitrary. :D The ingestion service clocks are NTP synced to datacenter-hosted atomic clocks, but we still see a few-second skew here and there.

I've even done research into how often they drift backwards in time (but that doesn't really happen, since NTP will just slew the system time by delaying, or adjust the clock massively on startup before the game launches).
Thank you for the kind words. As of right now, we don't have an option to meet-up through the app, but we do have many users that are organizing their own meet-up groups via our Facebook Run Club.
Yeah, I’m not pretending HN is some super knowledgeable group that knows everything about everything.

It’s more base level of education. I think it’s worth watching to see what I mean.
Pingbacks are back, baby! What is old is new again, except this time is centralized, so hopefully with less spam but also less independence once FAANG acquire the service.
Ooh, interesting.

I made a GitHub repo for the new spec and credited you (https://github.com/seagreen/rfc-3339T). Let me know if you have more suggestions!
Neither of these articles offers a detailed plan on how this storage will be provisioned. The second doesn't even mention storage at all, only that Europe has enough wind power to power the whole world. Sure, but that's not very useful if that power isn't delivered when you need it.
I presume he is referring to 409a penalties. That's for options/deferred income.

(Possibly they were offering you options in your story--I'm not sure).

But if the company wants to give you stock directly--say for free! You would pay tax, as regular employment income, on the difference in value between what you pay (say $0) and the FMV.
So how long before this gets used for spam ala pingbacks?

I've had this argument so many times in that last month... renewables outside of hydro are just not viable as baseline power until batteries improve cost and density by several orders of magnitudes. Nuclear fission is really the only choice we have right now. We can't avoid climate change by relying on technologies like fusion power & next gen batteries that haven't even been invented yet, let alone mass manufactured.

I don't believe it. The state of the art in quantum computing is far from it. In fact, we are not even sure if it is possible at all due to the extremely low temperatures required for a significant number of entangled qubits.

In general, secret tech is only more advanced than what is available in the open when it has no real application outside defense. But a lot of people want quantum computers more simple than the ones that can crack RSA, and they don't have them. So I find it unlikely that any nation state has a quantum computer able to break current crypto.

The focus on post-quantum cryptography is mostly preventive.
>Sky ECC promised a 5 million USD (€4.2 million) prize on its website, which is currently down, to anyone who could crack its encryption.

>It is not yet clear if Belgian authorities plan to claim the reward.

For the EncroChat takedown they didn't crack the encryption. They instead flipped an employee who cooperated in the installation of a remote access Trojan on all the phones. Are they actually claiming they did something different here?
If you are Raytheon and you sell someone a rocket, maybe come to their country and teach their personnel how to fire it, that's fine. When they decide to use it, you are not involved.

I think it's worth keeping in mind that specialization is in the eye of the beholder. Among physicians, I'm a specialist (a pathologist). In the pathology community I'm a generalist (I don't have subspecialty training), but I'm also quite specialized in that I mainly work in AI (thanks to an undergrad in physics and a lot of time spent playing with computers). AI turns out to be something few physicians of any type have the mathematical training for because the prerequisites for medical school stop at integral calculus.
Yes, the OP has this backwards. The Java sandbox would allow an application to limit the access granted to a library to protect from a malicious library. It does not protect a library from being used by an application in way that was not intended by the library creator. It is certainly not a means of enforcing a licensing scheme.

Yes, but I also think it is harder when the accidents are foreseen. The United States doesn't take repeated military actions with the rational expectation that there won't be these accidental killings of civilians, so because they are foreseen, they are arguably intended.
That's a lot of cooked goose.

In all seriousness, that is a pretty terrifying industrial project. I'm not sure how you'd make the failsafes strong enough to match the risk of cooking thousands of people alive.

No, it sounds like female teachers make rules that are easy for female students to follow. Meanwhile some boys simply don't like the rules and thus don't follow them.
My point is that there's a massive propaganda campaign targeted specifically at Israel. Many Western and non-Western nations are developing these kinds of tools. They are not at all unique to Israel. Yet again and again, we are exposed to publications targeting Israeli companies, specifically.

This article doesn't even try to hide the fact that it is focused on Israel as a nation, while several other nations operate in this space.

> Disney got plenty of backlash for that move from the people paying attention

"So much backlash", yet nothing has been done. Mulan is still distributed, and that thank-you note to Chinese authorities who build and maintain massive prison camps is still there.

It's almost like all these "moral concerns" are just thinly-veiled real politics.
1. Renewables are only pennies per KWh because their intermittency, and the carbon costs backups required due to it, isn't being priced in.

2. Look at Texas's recent "hiccup" around Feb 15 and compare it to year before. Wind dropped to <10% reliable capacity and it was almost all picked up by gas/coal. The drop wind/solar production starts a week before the cold snap that disrupted everything else.

I do agree, but I would say it's an infrastructure problem than choice. Most components and "stuff", well, comes from China. Going elsewhere is not marginally more expensive, its significantly more. This means your political stance, though righteous, will bleed dry compared to those who would actually go for the "blood diamonds" for the lower cost. It takes the consumer to also make the choice.

The big arguement in the early 2000s on the fear of too much China reliance is exactly this. Can we stand a moral ground against a country whose teet we depend on? Too many companies are disgusting unwilling to. I dont watch anything hollywood (which has been silly easy oddly) over the whole self censorship to appease the chinese market. Any company that kowtows to chinese pressure for any little thing is on my shit list. But I'm just one dude. Most people dont care or are unwilling. At that, I know my computer, phone and a number of other things came from China. Anytime I can get anywhere but China, I go for it. It's real difficult. Unloading our manufacturing wasn't smart and we are reaping what we sowed.

They're probably referring to stuff like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Kunming_attack

I remember after 9/11 there were paranoid fears that the US was going to do extreme things like round up all Muslims and put them in internment camps, etc. China's actually pursuing a policy not too different from those fears.

Just to add to this, the US has long held an antagonistic relationship with the International Criminal Court (ICC), and has shielded and acquitted war criminals as recently as last year. Are we going to blame American civilians for this behavior?
> So why doesn't China allow independent investigations into what's really taking place? Maybe if they weren't hiding the truth people wouldn't be so quick to fill in the holes with their own stories.

Why they should? The burden of proof is on the accusers. "Independent" investigation guarantees nothing. Eg WMD in Iraq.
It looks to me that about half the revenue for the organisation comes from selling ISO standards.

2019 revenue of ISO - figures in ‘000s of CHF (edit 1CHF = 1.08USD) - details from page 63 of https://www.iso.org/files/live/sites/isoorg/files/store/en/P...

21181 Membership fees
12924 *Royalties received from members selling ISO standards*
6592 *Revenue – net sales*
2286 Funding of capacity building projects
273 Funding of ISO strategic projects
(99) Financial revenue (loss)
=====
43157 TOTAL REVENUE

Ideally standards should be free, but how the organisation could survive on only half its current revenues would need to be addressed.

Edit: removed subtotal rows “34105 Revenue from members”, “2559 Funding of ISO projects”
Isn't this going to hamper companies in poorer countries from adopting these standards?
This is pretty explicit in interview training at least at Google. Nobody cares how you solved some problem because inside the Google none of your experience applies. What are needed are people who can read and write code, who know algorithms and can discuss the complexity of them.
Oh I see where the confusion lies. This article is about the cyberterrorism companies inside the state of Israel, that's why. If you have articles where other countries are doing this (which of course they are) then please tag me and I will gladly condemn them also.

Not sure of the provenance of the quote, but I heard it from Steve Gibson: "I don't have anything to hide when I'm using the toilet, but I still like my privacy when doing so."
Serious question here. How could I attempt to answer your questions without at least attempting to be emphatic to where you are coming from? Does it not require a modicum of "walking in your shoes" and trying to see things from your perspective?

It just looks like you are taking an antagonistic stance by saying "Stop mind reading" to my attempts at contributing to answering your question here.

(by the way, I see my own points go down negative here, just like yours so I also wonder)
Generally, no. If the channels are themed tightly, it should give you a good idea of where to look. It also helps make it easier to filter in Slack's search. If you need to reference the conversation later, it should probably be linked to in documentation/project management tool. If you need it for your own personal needs, you can bookmark/star it.

I can't find the article that I read, but someone mentioned that it's beneficial to have different communication tools for short-term and long-term memory. Slack is great for quick, one off conversations. At the point that you find yourself discussing a larger issue and coming to a decision with long-lasting impacts... or needing to refer back to information frequently... the information should no longer be living in a chat application.
>If one user can't have a negative impact on other users, then you don't care if some users are slow to upgrade; they're only hurting themselves.

This quote looks like it was written by someone who has never had to support users. I've had that pleasure, and, these slow to upgrade users will become the bane of your existence. You'll spend an inordinate amount of time trying to support the "If only this f*ing user would upgrade!" customer.
Frankly, I would make the stronger point: it's more important than your job (raising children can be difficult, to be sure, but it's not quite "work" in the sense that work by and large tends to be servile while raising children is a higher end for which work is done). The reason people work is overwhelmingly so that they can support their children and their families.
They're talking about East Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM), it's the Uyghur jihadist organization that's conducted a number of terrorist attacks using bombs and knives.

I don't have a source to hand but you can find some attacks listed on their wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkistan_Islamic_Party#Attack...
I think any reasonable person can look at what's happening with the Uyghurs and only come to the conclusion that it's appalling. The only real defense here is that the reports of it happening are untrue or exaggerated and I think at this point we have ample evidence that's not the case.

So let's set that issue aside and look at the more general problem of polarization as that has wider implications. Fact is, most people in the US (as one example) don't give a shit about genocide halfway around the world beyond maybe some slacktivism in liking a social media post about it every now and again.

So I'm not Chinese but as an outsider looking in who is not an expert by any stretch of the imagination this is what I see: I see a culture that within living memory came out of a period of severe instability, hunger and turmoil. China now under pseudo-Communist rule has entered a period of stability and prosperity for a significant portion of the population.

Because that's so recent there seems to be (heavy IMHO here) a cultural fear of that going prosperity going away. I don't want to trivialize this by any means but you see something roughly analogous to this with people who grew up poor vs those who didn't, even if those people who grew up poor have money now. Just having that experience of growing up without food or housing security changes you. It changes your relationship to money.

So what I see is there's an awful lot of Chinese people who look at any issue relating to China through this lens: anything remotely critical of China is an attack on that prosperity. So anything critical of China on HN (comments or posts) will attract a certain level of automatic downvote on any hot button issue (eg Uyghurs, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the origins of Covid-19).

The lesson here I think is in how dangerous things become when a large group of people become fearful.

As an example, in the US today you have polarization because people fan the flames of fear. The Trump base is one who fears their way of life is under attack, exploited quite masterfully where any demonstrable proof that Trump himself is by any objective measure a horrible human being gets labelled as "fake news" and people eat it up because that's what they want to believe. And they want to believe that because they've bought into this culture of fear.

I just hope we're not all screwed.
