"People can have diabetes without being fat and unhealthy."

Yes and that's called type 1 diabetes which is genetic and obviously not what we're talking about. Type 2 is a result of poor lifestyle choices that need to be dealt with before it gets so bad that the they need to take insulin to fix it. If you really want to help these people then that's how you do it, not by throwing millions at drugs afterwards. People that get to that point still have a lower life expectancy regardless of how much money you throw into "free" insulin.

"If we gave them the power to kill via laws then we can take it away the same way."

Sure and they will be less effective. Would you like to be the one to explain why a mass shooter wasn't stopped because we told police they don't have the right to use deadly force? You're not thinking this through.
There are always tradeoffs. If the pendulum swings the other way how many innocent apps would be sacrificed at the altar of “good”. I rarely see any of the cost/benefit analysis here. The same problem occurs in many other realms of society.

I like the Android option of being able to download apps (at your own risk) from a url without the app store. It is optional and used by very few people of course. But freedom to choose at ones own risk is the guarantor of liberty from the App Store overlords and their dictates.
It's not saying that those are introduced bugs; IMHO they're just proactively reverting all commits from these people.
I looked into it (https://old.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/mvd6zv/greg_khs_resp...). People from the University of Minnesota has 280 commits to the Linux kernel. Of those, 232 are from the three people directly implicated in this attack (that is, Aditya Pakki and the two authors of the paper), and the remaining 28 commits is from one individual who might not be directly involved.
You can create a strict, high functioning organization without being an asshole. Maintaining high standards and expecting excellence isn't an exercise in babysitting; it's an exercise in aligning contributors to those same standards and expectations.

You don't need to do that by telling them they're garbage. You can do it by getting them invested in growth and improvement.
The best music is also not the one that draws the higher revenues.
Yes, they could. This is actually addressed in the original email thread:

> But they can't then use that type of "hiding" to get away with claiming it was done for a University research project as that's even more unethical than what they are doing now.
The "scientific" question answered by the mentioned paper is basically:

"Can open-source maintainers make a mistake by accepting faulty commits?"

In addition to being scummy, this research seems utterly pointless to me. Of course mistakes can happen, we are all humans, even the Linux maintainers.

My wife has an ~year-old Intel MBA. I have an M1 MBA.

Her battery's dead after 2 hours on Zoom or Discord or any of those battery-hungry web tech multimedia apps.

I've not tried taking it that far, but judging from where the battery on my M1 MBA gets to after a couple hours, I could probably do 6ish hours under that load (it's very dumb that some of these "productivity" programs are high-load and eat battery like crazy, but that's where we are).

If I avoid the webshit (Slack's unavoidable, for me, but I can ditch most of the rest, at least temporarily) I can work a whole day plus another half a workday on battery, no problem.

[EDIT] oh, and it feels faster than my hex-core AMD desktop with the badass graphics card and 64GB of memory does, under Win10 or Linux. Jank, jitter, and pauses galore, when doing basically nothing. Not so on the M1, unless I really abuse it. Granted that's largely the software's doing, but it doesn't really matter why it's better, in the end.
In a recent game half of the Manchester United onfield players were local or academy players. Mostly local.

I’m so confused by this question. Do clubs in other sports not play a massive part in the community?

Manchester United did so much to help people in the pandemic. They have strong links with local charities. The footballers do a lot for charity. Rashford is an obvious superstar in that regard but it’s across the board.

Do American sports clubs not play a massive part in their community? I don’t get why this question keeps coming up. Of course the clubs are central institutions in their community...
I'm in a European country and no one uses whatsapp here. I have it but only to talk to foreing friends.
But your signed-off-by was a correct email address with your real identity, as per:

Right? It's true that all systems can be gamed and you could no doubt fool the right maintainer to take a patch from a fraudulent source. But the point is that it's not as simple as this grad student just resubmitting work under a different name.
It is a thing for Excel courses. My sister was an accountant a few years ago and had to learn VB to write macros (because businesses are still stuck in the 80s)
'Red team' exercises happen ethically all the time. You get permission from people in charge (of either a project or a company), you agree on the ground rules, and then you do the exercise. They don't have to tell everyone in the group, but you have to tell certain key people and get their buy in.
If you cheat: all of them. GCC supports in-line assembly.

Of course, that’s not an interesting observation.

It gets (somewhat) interesting when you realize that one may inadvertently include in-line assembly. Do you call including system headers that happen to contain inline assembly cheating? Including headers for a standard C library? Compiling with old-fashioned compiler flags (for example to generate FPU instructions for the x87)?
They don't need to claim ownership of the drama to write the paper, in fact, my first thought was that they would specifically try to avoid taking ownership and instead write a paper "discovering" the vulnerability(ies).
Aren't there a significant number of first-time buyers?
I think you are using the generic definition of "contenders" and not the way it is traditionally used in a sports context (at least in the US). "Contending" doesn't mean merely participating in a league. It means having a realistic shot at winning the title. The specific teams that are in the league don't change much in the NFL anymore, but the teams that are near the top of the league are much more fluid in the NFL than in the EPL and other European leagues.
> ...a better job of embracing unpolished projects and emphasizing a “don’t be bashful” approach...

Absolutely. One thing I've found is that the tone of HNers varies a lot. As you pointed out, many are very constructive ("have you thought about...") while some are more critical ("you don't have ..." or "the UX is horrible").

If more people could work on doing the former, then I think we can create a more constructive environment for people to do this.

In my opinion, work in progress type projects (or "research projects" should have only constructive feedback, while Finished Products(tm) can take a more critical approach to comments.
I personally don't have a ton of trust in polls like that (referring to the Russian one). It is a strong claim to make that Putin is more popular in Russia than Biden in the US.
The above comment is based on a disproven conspiracy theory that claims no one knows the true number of ETH in existence, and misinformation that a single client (of many) failing to sync for ~6 hours after an upgrade was a problem with Ethereum.
Perhaps a bit ironically the M1 Macs arguably offer the best Windows on ARM experience.
The IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy should remove this paper at once for gross ethics violations. The message should be strong and unequivocal that this type of behavior is not tolerated.
“ The extra layers of plastic to enable removable batteries cost close to zero dollars and don't have to cost more than a millimeter.”

“It’s two lines of code, how hard can it be?”

More seriously, the cost of designing a battery pack goes way beyond that, just like in software there’s a world of difference between an internal and an external interface. Adding ESD protection for instance can be a headache.
Good luck building anything interactive this way.
Something I've expected for years, but have never had evidence... until now.

Ahhh this takes me back. What an amazing video. Made 11 years ago and it's just as accurate as it was back then.

Honestly? Fuck the Daily Mail. Also The S*n, Daily Express, etc.
> What's your point? That process security is hopeless and we should all just go home?

That there's an ethical way of testing processes which includes asking for permission and using proven tested methods like sending a certain amount of items N where X are compromised and Y are not compromised and seeing the ratio of K where K are rejected items and the ratio of rejected items which are compromised K/X versus non-compromised items K/Y.

By breaking the ethical component, the entire scientific method of this paper is broken... now I have to go check the kernel pull requests list to see if they sent 300 pull requests and got one accepted or if it was a 1:1 ratio.
Super cool!
What is next with this?
Also, when there are too many people in the graph it is hard to navigate...
Well if the ethics board is not decently equipped to understand the concerns with this type of research I would say a full ban is perfectly understandable.
I will when I finish just one more zombie night in 7 days to die. Just one more I promise.
Ha :) Yeah, I just replied in a similar vein in the other reply to my original comment. Agreed!
I have only ever attended one conference, but I attended it about 32 times, and the printed proceedings were in my hands before I attended any talks in the last dozen or so. How does revocation work in that event?
So maybe there will be a ramp up of home-building etc after the suppliers re-adjust? Thus in 2 years you could see a drop in prices?
Super cool!

The phrase "this morning" triggers an attention network to recall the past.
Yes. Leicester's rise through the system was a direct result of money being pumped in by their owner, a foreign billionaire.

They were purchased 5 years prior to winning the Premier League and immediately upgraded their sponsorships, facilities, staff, and players.

Did money make them win the premier league? No, but it couldn't have happened without it and it had nothing to do with meritocracy or the local community.
Sadly, that seems to happen more often than it should. They also remove cogs for no reason.
Thanks for pointing this out. I'll definitely look into it.
Millennials, apparently. The generation has a huge population that is at the prime home buying age (nowadays). Being stuck at home with parents or in an apartment is not where a lot of people wanted to be during a pandemic. Combine that with low interest rates, and also investors that see property as a relatively safe asset.

The wait and see camp is probably most people, but those that aren't comfortable with their home situation and being stuck in it are likely itching to move.
Yes there would.

They'd just sell it to the same buyer, or an intermediary, as it happens.

Back in the Pentium 1 and earlier days I could beat the compiler. But then it got hard.

And it changes so often, instructions that are fast on one CPU are not so fast on the next one, and vice versa.

Not to mention branch prediction and out-of-order execution makes it very difficult to meaningfully benchmark. Is my code really faster, or just seems like it because some address got better aligned or similar.

I've gotten significant speed gains in certain projects by simply replacing certain hand-optimized assembly in libraries (ie not my code) with the plain C code equivalent. The assembly was probably faster 10-15 years ago, but not anymore...
lol this is also how Russia does their research with Solarwinds. Do not try to attack supply chain or do security research without permission. They should be investigated by FBI for doing recon to a supply chain to make sure they weren't trying to do something worse. Minnesota leads the way in USA embarrassment once again.
I live in what used to be a very affordable metro. After years of saving and getting out of debt, I am finally able to buy a house. Well I would have been under normal market conditions.

When I moved to my neighborhood 7 years ago the average price of a 1500sqft home was 130K. Prices on those homes have gone up slowly up over the years but the last 18 months where price have skyrocketed. Those same homes are now being listed for 240-250k and closing above asking.

I've had multiple realtors in my area tell me, that unless I have an extra 50k available beyond my down payment it is unlikely that I will be able to buy right now. Why? None of the houses are being appraised for as much as they are listing, so you have to cover that gap and then you will want to offer 20K+ over asking to make sure you get the house.

The last few homes that I have looked at already had offers on them before they were put on the market. These homes open on a Saturday and close Sunday evening with 15-20 offers. And who exactly are getting these homes? Out of towners, usually from the west coast, with cash only offers.
It's not that variable length is expensive, it's that variable length the way Intel does it is expensive. For instance — not that this is a good idea — you could burn the top 2b to mark instructions as 2/4/6/8 bytes (or whatever) in length. Then you can have your variable-width-cake-and-eat-your-fast-decode-too.
Sounds like the IRB may need to update their ethical standards then. Pointing to the IRB exemption doesn't necessarily make it fine, it could just mean the IRB has outdated ethical standards when it comes to research with comp sci implications.
Assuming rich soil accumulates over time in a long-running forest, what happens to the lower layers? Do they release carbon more quickly as they "die" or do they store it? If they store it, then that's sequestration, right?

What happens when the club wants to sell the player and the player does not agree to sign the contract with the new club, and vice-versa?
Your analogy doesn't work. A true "white hat" hacker would hack a system to expose a security vulnerability, then immediately inform the owners of the system, all without using their unintended system access for anything malicious. In this case, the "researchers" submitted bogus patches, got them accepted and merged, then said nothing, and pushed back against accusations that they've been malicious, all for personal gain.

EDIT: Also, even if you do no harm and immediately inform your victim, this sort of stuff might rather be categorized as grey-hat. Maybe a "true" white-hat would only hack a system with explicit consent from the owner. These terms are fuzzy. But my point is, attacking a system for personal gain without notifying your victim afterwards and leaving behind malicious code is certainly not white-hat by any definition.
Not really done properly: They were testing out the integrity of the system. This includes the process by which they notified the maintainers not to go ahead. What if that step had failed and the maintainers missed that message?

Essentially, the researchers were not in control to stop the experiment if it deviated from expectations. They were relying on the exact system they were testing to trigger its halt.

We also don't know what details they gave the IRB. They may have passed through due to IRB's naivete on this: It had a high human component because it was humans making many decisions in this process. In particular, there was the potential to cause maintainers personal embarrassment or professional censure by letting through a bugged patch. If the researchers even considered this possibility, I doubt the IRB would have approved this experimental protocol if laid out in those terms.
FYI you can set a "delay" in your profile of up to 10 minutes before your comments are shown, giving you more time to edit. May not have helped in this case but it's a cool feature.

And yet New England has been in half of the last 10 years superbowls. Is it really as effective as you say? Aren't there like a dozen teams that haven't won in 30 years? Does that feel different than a smaller market Premier League fan?

I don't think I disagree with your basic point that feedback is important, but I don't think the NFL has it well solved either.

Why isn't a small number enough? The law abiding distributors would follow the ban, thus making further seizures unnecessary. Though to be honest the EU ban only targeted export to countries with better conditions (lower case rate or higher vaccination rate than Europe) and was only to last a few weeks, at least initially.
I've been scratching my head at this one and admit I can't spot how it can be harmful. Why wouldn't you release the buffer if the send fails?
To be fair, the merits of that case were never decided.

The case was rejected on procedural grounds for lack of standing - a decision that has been hotly debated by many legal experts.

The BEAM runs on a variety of targets from your superscalar out-of-order targets like x64 down to much more embedded things. This may affect the performance tradeoffs.
Because it's widely supported by emulators, and supports the 16 bit sample size at the 48 kHz sample rate that is needed for high quality music, which is more than enough for Tetris.

The SB16 also features FM synthesis, though this program doesn't appear to use it; it rolls its own wave table method.

However, that would be a particular reason to target it specifically, rather than some more modern card that lacks FM synthesis. FM synthesis produces the signature sounds heard in 80's pop music and video games.
Eventually there will be a variant which spreads epidemically in even a fully vaccinated population. But such an complete escape mutation is likely to come at a cost to fitness for the virus so it will be less transmissible and virulent. And in vaccinated individuals they will still have cross-reactive immune responses.

The 1918 H1N1 pandemic just evolved into seasonal influenza (or co-evolved with the human immune system). In 1957 the H1N1 virus left the human race and was displaced by H2N2. It mutated in pigs for 50 years, then the H1 protein came back in the 2009 triple reassortment pandemic. That pandemic had minimal impact though because people who were exposed to H1N1 before 1957 still had partial immunity through cross reactive T-cells to the H1 envelope protein -- even after it had evolved in pigs for 50 years.

Immunity is very non-binary. There is "survivor island style immunity" which is sterilizing immunity that prevents an individual from being infected. But there's a lot of partial immunity that just takes the edge off the disease, even though the virus may still spread epidemically.
That’s not even remotely geographically correct.

It is your job as a researcher to make the committee fully understand all the implications of what you are doing. If you fail in that, you failed in your duties. The committee will also tell you this, as well as any ethical guideline. Given that level of responsibility, it isn't easy to ascribe this to negligence on the part of the researchers, intent is far more likely.
I want to believe you're right. There seems, however, to be a disconnect between what "most people think" and policies being enacted in Western cultures. The policies, especially in the education of children, seem to be aligning against such reality and in favor of the assertion of zero distinctions between biological gender. This disconnect is apparent in legislation and regulation as well.
Immigration is a myth that real estate agents use to justify prices. Last year there were almost no immigrants and prices went up.
