In spite of my tongue-in-cheek statement, I get it.

It's huge in the context of non-programming uses of Git. If some people are just sharing some text documents with Git, then it's a big deal.

This is likely on the rise.

E.g. if you look at a site like Github, there is a lot of non-code content in it. Some people stash that content, and other people believe that content to just be harmless files that will never perpetrate an exploit just from being cloned.
> probably

That makes it sound like you didn't try/practice. I imagine that in a real-life scenario things will be a little more painful than in one's imagination.
Sudo persists authorization for a short period of time so that you don’t need to re-authorize for back-to-back commands.

Also, once they get ACE they can modify your bashrc to make sudo an alias for “sudo rm -rf / ;” or all sorts of other evil trickery.

Isn't this just a Gmail thing? It isn't necessarily an alias for any given email provider.
Discalaimer: I used to work on the Google team that worked on anti-abuse for comments/ratings.

>> So in reality I would say it's probably possible to remove any review

No, it is possible to get something removed if it violates Googles policies that are designed to make sure reviews are on topic and legitimate.

>> The customer for Google is the business, not the user as Google is promoting GoogleAds to local businesses so they need to keep them "happy" to increase Ad spend.

Not true at all. I have personally told many clients who spent XXX million dollars with Google that reviews can not be touched if they follow Google policies. The customer is not the business, it is the users who trust these reviews. Google can do just fine without monetizing the reviews but will not survive without user trust. It will take 2 hours to become a global headline if Google did something like this. And if this was true no business would every have bad reviews.
Speak with your wallet and move to a different provider.
1. Alice owns three cartons of unfiltered cigarettes. They are harsh and kids don’t buy them.

2. RJ Reynolds owns many cartons of Camels. Reynolds creates a cartoon camel called Joe Camel, who is as recognizable to 6 year olds as Mickey Mouse.

3. Bob is a 11 year old. For some stupid reason, Bob wants to smoke Camels and be cool like Joe.

Is it immoral for Reynolds to sell to an 11 year old? Is it immoral for Alice to sell her cigarettes to Bob?
Plenty of adults do this too.

Doesn't make it right though.

iPhone vs Android, Mac vs PC, Car vs Car, sportsballer vs sportsballer... so inane.
If you are a corporate entity of some kind, the final layer of your plan should always be "Go bankrupt". You can't successfully recover from every possible disaster and you shouldn't try to. In the event of a sufficiently unlikely event, your business fails and every penny spent attempting the impossible will be wasted, move on and let professional administrators salvage what they can for your creditors.

Lots of people plan for specific elements they can imagine and forget other equally or even more important things they are going to need in a disaster. Check out how many organisations that doubtless have 24/7 IT support in case a web server goes down somehow had no plan for what happens if it's unsafe for their 500 call centre employees to sit in tiny cubicles answering phones all day even though pandemic respiratory viruses are so famously likely that Gates listed them consistently as the #1 threat.
> Do you think business analysis is about software architecture? Oh boy.

Given the tendency for software architectures to mirror org-charts, the two aren't as disparate as you think.

"A U.S. district court later ruled in support of Chevron's allegations that the report had been ghostwritten by Mr. Donziger and his associates and an environmental consulting firm hired by the plaintiffs in addition to participating in the bribing of the deciding judge."

Donziger looks like a crook according to your provided reference.

The exploit can also be done with (case-sensitive) Unicode file names. All it requires is that git thinks two paths are distinct, while the file system thinks they're equivalent
That's true, but it seems whole of SBG region for OVH is within same disaster radius for one fire... with SBG2 destroyed and SBG1 partly damaged.

"The whole site has been isolated, which impacts all our services on SBG1, SBG2, SBG3 and SBG4. "

Wonder if those SBGx were advertised as being the same as "Availability Zones" - when other cloud providers ensure zones are distanced enough from each other (~1km at least) to likely survive events such as fire.
I dunno, dude - I think to the rational folk on HN it does indeed seem hyperbolic, but there are a lot of really pissed off people who are a little beyond the point of rationality.

For instance, a recent survey showing 29% of respondents would support breaking up the US: http://brightlinewatch.org/american-democracy-at-the-start-o... The source is apparently legit and founded by Yale / Dartmouth professors.

Combine this with the increasing demands of the new ideology, the massive inequality of the modern age, the future automation job losses, and tons of pressure from foreign nations who would love to see a weaker US - I think in 10 years there could easily be some crisis.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I don't think this is constrained to the educational realm. I can certainly tell you that in Big Tech Company Inc, we get emails every day about ending white supremacy, anti racism, yada yada.
The key problem (as I understand it) is that updating a cache properly requires knowing the exact graph of relations that an entry in the cache has to other entries. So that when that entry changes, you can propagate that change throughout the cache to other concerned entries which need to be recomputed. But knowing that exact graph is too complex a task to be trivial, it seems in this case. Basically it sounds like the non-visual version of rerendering UI when a state changes, which is hard enough even with visual feedback.

The title, while correct, is misleading. The actual results are:

Drivers using Level 2 ADAS who are experienced with L2 ADAS have more situational awareness. The ones using it for the first time have the least, while regular drivers were in the middle.

Presumably the ones used to ADAS relax more and look around. Is that good or bad? Unclear: does it make them more likely to note and deal with unexpected risks or not? The article guesses the answer though the actual paper may not have.

I'm not here to say "it won't happen for you" but I am here to say, it may not matter: It's not inherently wrong to not be able to see how to make a space in the market for an idea.

If it feels like it's a problem, you maybe have something to hang a hat on there. Why is this drive so important to you? Is it about financial independence? Is it about some sense of achievement?

Business smarts to design a product or service are a skill which can be learned btw. Seriously, you can learn how to do that kind of thing. Some of the methods are a bit 7-steps but the fundamentals are, to identify a need, fulfilled or not, and work out how to do it, better. Mostly the sub-steps are about breaking it down.

Pivot, is just fancy word for "changing your mind in the light of some experience"

You don't need async/await to do monadic comprehension in Scala, it's built into the language from the very beginning with `for`.

This was inspired by do notation, which came about ~1998.

Yeah, but suppose for argument's sake that your name is John Smith. I suspect pretty much every variant of that name is taken.

So, unless you resort to an unreasonable suffix of digits, or a potentially unprofessional moniker, you've got no choices.

Then again, email may not be a viable personal communication method in the future. Looks like the future is chat apps.
It's dehumanizing and problematic to classify people's healthy bodies as anomalous or defective.

I don't see how your appeal to tradition is sufficient to justify your view.

Science generally accepts that the identities it discusses are nominalist and conditional. We humans create boundaries and classifications by grouping elements, but no such group or organization is objectively correct, some are just subjectively useful for particular purposes.

I never see popol [1] mentioned in these discussions:

Popol is designed as a minimal ergonomic wrapper
around poll, built for use cases such as peer-to-peer
networking, where you typically have no more than a
few hundred concurrent connections. It’s meant to be
familiar enough for those with experience using mio,
but a little easier to use, and a lot smaller.

It shows a lot of promise.

Right the headline implies that ADAS is worse for awareness than no ADAS, but that's not what was tested.
Thats a fair point. If OVH does market them as AZs then it's disingenuous and liable to suits IMO.
Interesting, I will check Restic out, I’ve heard other good things about it. Duplicity is a bit of a pain to set up and Restic’s single binary model is more straightforward (Go is a miracle). Thanks for the recommendation!

GPG is a bit quirky but I do regularly check my backups and restores (if once every few months counts as regular).
>A completion model would require a heavier, standardized runtime and associated inefficiencies like extra allocations and indirection, and prevent efficiencies that emerge with polling.

You are not the first person who uses such arguments, but I don't see why they would be true. In my understanding both models would use approximately the same FSMs, but which would interact differently with a runtime (i.e. instead of registering a waker, you would register an operation on a buffer which is part of the task state). Maybe I am missing something, so please correct me if I am wrong in a reply to this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26407824
So all of your statements basically say that you think Google reviews are pay to play because you dont trust them to do something right. Sure, you have the right to that opinion.

I think masters is like a buffet, it is good for those folks who do not know what they want to specialize in (like me). You can try different things and figure out what you like vs what you don't like.

If you already know what you like or what you want to do, there are plenty of online tools available to help you on your journey, no point wasting time and money for a buffet.
I noticed this a few months ago as well. I was looking for a way to do simple synchronous HTTPS requests in a CLI, and it seemed like using `reqwest` with tokio was more or less the default option in Rust. I ended up using ureq, and it looked like there may have even been ways to avoid it using hyper and an alternative tls-connector but the simplest solution seemed to be "just use tokio".

When something foundational, like networking, gains a defacto dependency on tokio, it seems inevitable that a large footprint of the ecosystem will eventually depend on it.

The author's focus on async leads them to the wrong conclusion. Not adopting async would not have solved the fundamental underlying problem; the perennial issues with error handling in Rust are another manifestation of the same problem, and as soon as people start trying to do things like database transaction management they'll hit the same problem again. Ripping async out of Rust isn't a solution; this problem will come up again and again unless and until Rust implements proper first-class functions.
Damore lost credibility in my eyes when he lied about being chess national master. Such a bold and egregious lie
> Cars with Level 2 automation can perform key driving tasks like steering, acceleration and braking to keep a set distance from the car ahead, center the car in its lane and stay at a certain speed. Yet they can't handle every situation unmonitored and need the driver to pay attention to the road ahead in case they need to take over the wheel.

Designing a system like that but blaming PEBKAC whenever something goes wrong is going to kill a lot of pedestrians. If you set impossible expectations and people don't meet them, there is a problem with your expectations.

/edit

I'm not against automated cars in general, but if Level 2 means a decrease in fender benders, but a higher level of kids running out in to the middle of the road getting killed because the driver is zoned out, then I think it should be skipped.

I encourage you to have a look at the operating income that AWS rakes in.

Sure, the amount of expertise, redundancy and breadth of service offerings they provide is worth a markup, but they are also significantly more expensive than they need to be.

Thanks to being the leader in an oligopoly, and due to patterns like making network egress unjustifiably expensive to keep you (/your data) from leaving.

Completely agree. And the thing I love about your comment is that even though you've found solid argument for why the OP's criticism was right, you articulate the tradeoff and explain why you think it was the wrong one. This is a dramatically more effective and compelling approach IMO.

HRef React Templating is not XSS-safe ▤
For some context:

“SBG1, the first Strasbourg data center, consisting of twelve containers, came online in 2012. The 12 containers had a capacity of 12,000 servers.

SBG2 is a non-container data center in 2016 using its “Tower” design with a capacity of 30,000 servers.

SBG3 tower was built in 2017 with a capacity of 30,000 servers.

SBG4 was built in 2013 as several containers to augment capacity, but was decommissioned in 2018 and moved to SB3”

Ditto on liking this comment.

The devil's advocate may be that, given the parallels to regular social challenges (and that 'digital' challenges may actually become more important in the future), Roblox offers a decently monitored, low-risk space to explore.

The game itself doesn't and doesn't have to incentivize social buying pressure. I believe it's just the natural order of things that can be considered signs of status. Because you have complete control over the avatar unlike your body, perhaps the condition is worse. As VR or 'microverses' evolve it's something to observe.

I suppose I was interested in having a powerful status symbol. I can't imagine why else I took so much time as a kid to learn the Roblox 'economy', how to trade, and then get scammed out of it in the end (the greatest lesson). I don't know if this what you meant by toxic or not, but it seems I've been drawn to that same experience with our fun little stonk market this past year.
Steve Klabnik did a talk about async/await and building your own executor: https://www.infoq.com/presentations/rust-async-await/

Literally nobody considers WP as a "chemical weapon" in the same sense as Sarin Gas was used by the Syrian regime against its own citizens over the past decade: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghouta_chemical_attack

You and others are obsessively focused on any collateral damage caused by Israel which is trying to defend its citizens against deliberate rocket attacks launched by terrorists from civilian population. Meanwhile, you ignore far more egregious violations by the enemies of Israel, like Syria.

You use hyperbolic and unjustified language to condemn Israel for using weapons nobody considers "chemical weapons".

This is bias, pure and simple. Some of you have been brainwashed to obsessively hate Israel. Others were Antisemitic to begin with. Either way, you are now prejudiced.

Again, feeling old, I'm not seeing a lot wrong with threads. A thread pool, if you insist, but explicit workflows as opposed to chaining together callbacks and contexts ... just seems really easy.
I understand your point but I wholeheartedly disagree.

Being able to reproduce results in other fields can be a challenge due to high cost of hiring actual humans to experiment on. Most ML papers don't have that. You either have private datasets (understandable but you can still publish the code) or require huge amount of compute (cool project but you can still publish the code).

If project like this allow me to know that the results of a paper cannot be reproduced then I am all for the name and shame approach. We are currently drowning in papers that claim to break SOTA and most are not reproducible. This is a waste of effort for everyone.

This website will never amount to much anyway. It will be just a signal among the institution and previous work of the authors. With enough signals at some point we might be able to better ourselves as a scientific community.

Ages ago, I heard from co-workers at a company that I had left that there was an issue because of some file-naming in a PHP application that they were trying to run locally on a Mac. There was foo.php which was the interface and Foo.php which had a class definition in it.

What idiot would name files like that? I said.

You, they answered.

I don't do that sort of thing anymore.

I participated in the Georgia Tech OMSCS program to get to an MS CS degree about 6 years after getting my EE BS.

I've stayed in my engineering role, but it's absolutely given me an advantage in certain aspects of my job. I can more effectively communicate with IT, and I find myself in leadership positions because I can bridge the gap between IT and Engineering.

I think at the end of the day though, the Master's is not going to give you the knowledge to ace a FAANG interview.

it’ll end someday but it’s been a major bummer.

I live and work in the Tokyo area, and my anecdata are similar to yours. Of the hundreds of people I know through work or private life, exactly two ever mentioned looking forward to the games, most seemed uninterested and passively resigned, and a few have been actively opposing them. The percentages would probably break down somewhat differently, though, if I knew more people in the travel industry or people whose primary information feed comes from the mainstream media, which were enthusiastic about the games up until COVID.
I don't know where you're getting your estimates:

Reuters claimed in 2016 that Japan claimed a cost of $188B for Fukushima:
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-tepco-fukushima-costs-idU...

This NY Times article claims 9/11 total costs were $3.3 trillion, including $55B in physical damage, $123B in economic impact, $589B in Homeland security spending, $1.6T in war funding, $867B in veterans care and future costs associated:

https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/interactive/2011...

At any rate, Fukushima was caused by a tsunami. It's clearly not the same risk factor to place nuclear reactors in say, the deserts of Australia, Nevada, or New Mexico versus the shoreline of Japan. We don't launch rockets from heavily populated downtown areas either for the same reason. As an engineer, you gotta think in trade-offs and reality.

Nuclear is a truly unlimited energy source. As a species, we have to master this technology in a safe way if we ever want to advance to the next level. We're never going to be a space-faring species on wind and solar alone. Solar and wind are fair-weather friends.
