I'm picturing the same, but my guess is that it's using a time-synced serializability graph or MVCC in some way.

However, even a "basic" distributed lock system (like a consistently-hashed in-memory DB, sharded across reliable servers) might provide both the scale and single source of truth that's needed. The difficulty arises when one of those servers has a hiccup.

It'd be a delicious irony if it was based on hardware like an old-school mainframe or something like that.
Conversely, the specter of governments operating water and sewage plants in competition with the private sector, or of state or local governments serving as both regulators and owners of competing water and sewage plants, could stifle investment or reduce private-sector access to capital.

One shudders to think what Comcast Water and Sewage would be like.
Also can wake your monitors when you're connected to wifi! Took me a few months before I realized that my displays would sleep themselves if I was disconnected, walked in one day with wifi disabled, enabled it and my monitors popped up
If that is your understanding of the phrase "basic functionality for level 5", can GM announce that they are installing two cameras in each car and now they have basic functionality for level 5?

If basic functionality does not need to be sufficient, then even the tiniest necessary thing is basic functionality? Like installing a camera on each new car? In that case, Tesla already has basic functionality for level 5 in terms of both hardware and software.
Did you work there?
1. You are correct. I would measure the effort in terms of a small number (1-3) weeks of recon and targeting for a team of two.

2. I agree. Individual employees are not at all to blame. Companies who are blaming their employees for getting phished are doing it wrong. The correct action to take is to inform employees and build the other kinds of mitigations mentioned elsewhere in this topic tree.
'a mostly-positive general-public reputation'

Citation needed. Ideally pointing out -informed- general public reputation; after all, we had a person elected president due in large part to perceptions from the every man of his business acumen despite running -casinos- into the ground.
>Still, many people who have access to and use municipal broadband think rather highly of the service. In fact, in a 2019 report conducted by PCMag, the authors of the study found that many municipal broadband providers offer some of the fastest internet speeds in the country.

Maybe we can finally start chipping away at 40+ years of conservative propaganda about how useless and ineffective government is. Government projects and services are not evil, wasteful, or inferior, that's propaganda talking.
In Germany, there is a clear pattern:

- a community (often, but not always, rural) pleads one of our big ISPs (almost always deutsche Telekom, since we gifted our tax-funded telephone network to them) to provide better service (or service at all)

- dt. Telekom laughs in their faces and tells them to screw off

- the community gets together and finances building a network of their own, sometimes even involving locals to dig the trenches for the fibers. They calculate with a sharp pencil and need customers to break even.

- dt. Telekom notices this and quickly deploys their own network, steamrolling the new local ISP with their big marketing budget and brand name

- the small local ISP goes bankrupt, city initiatives stop etc.

And to add insult to injury, dt. Telekom then uses it's customers as leverage to bully content providers into crappy peering deals.
They're also guzzling tax money by the millions in public-private partnerships all while screwing the public over.
Im less concerned about data provacy for this one for whatever reason, but im having issues with it saving really off numbers. like ive input a 400$/ month payment in and its showing in a plan as like $4800 / month and this is with nearly all the data. its got me paying out like 380,000$ this year alone...? i dont even have a fraction of that debt anywhere.... what even.... is going on here... it says im underwater by like 200k+ . my net worth is -40k for sure, but def not -200k.
I helped start an organisation which builds data science models for the shipping and commodity markets, and has had great success trading on the results of those models.

Within most shipping companies, there continues to be a significant hubris amongst charterers of "I know what I know" - a lot of people who have worked for decades in the industry and still trust their gut instinct over anything else.

As a result, since so few decisions are significantly data-driven, it's actually not that complex to build predictive models that take advantage of arbitrage opportunities in the market.
How to be evil:

- Offer a service.

- Claim that your service exists to make the world better in some vague way.

- Train yourself to sound like a compassionate, altruistic person that cares about others.

- Sell user data. Hide the information about what data is
being sold and who is buying it and why as much as possible.

- Become wealthy selling data from users who trusted you.

- Buy bona-fide companies and put them to the service of your evil cause.

- Normalize evil behavior. Force other companies to become evil in order to compete.

- Turn the Internet into a privacy nightmare.

- Turn the field of computer science into satanism.
One thing I would love to see is React router style routing. I know some people love the file based routing, but for complex web apps I just end up having to hack my own routing onto catch all routes. For example, there is no way to build sub-routers without doing it myself. (Imagine an account dashboard with a common area, but additional tabs for other sub-pages)

Also, a global getServerSideProps ran on all pages would be great. I use getInitialProps in _app.tsx now to make a server side request to get initial user info (e.g. the current user name, access level, etc), but this method is ran on both client and server requests so it has some hacky stuff like returning early if window is undefined or if the requested url ends in .json (when next tries to load a new page on the client side)
Same here as well, got it with a Gateway 2000.

It was an interesting idea. I get the OP's point that a lot of the critics were not the target audience, but for the most part the target audience didn't take to it either. I guess I don't see that as a preordained conclusion, and I don't think of Bob as an obviously bad idea from the start, it was just one of the many new ideas PC developers were trying in the mid-90s as computers were rapidly expanding their reach.

For me I break it down as such: If it's supposed to be "social", I'll use the web based app (ie: twitter, etc). If it is personal (ie: banking), unless it is my actual bank, I want that on my machine.
I imagine they would need to know how to use the protocol in the first place if they're re-writing it, right? :)
When you see something like this, the board wanted him out anyways. This was the perfect opportunity. If Elon Musk has an affair with an employee the Tesla Board will release a solemnly worded statement and say that he’s being required to attend certain trainings and produce certain mea culpas.
Sure, consequently they invest in lobbying instead of physical plant, it provides a better return on investment.
This is different, because, statistically, cops ruin peoples lives a lot more often than a team of ex girlfriends...

Cops work together, therefor they collude...

If you are in high school, and all the girls are teenagers and are in school together, they also may collude..

I'm sorry, I do not see the same likelihood of collusion in this case of intelligent women who had no relation to each other.
Lord yes. Decision by committee and corporate guidelines. "X is a strategic partner" = can't be fired for 'partnering with them'. Even if it becomes a "why didn't anyone raise the alarm?!" it becomes "because everyone agreed to use them".
Good point, I hadn't considered that. But the example here seems to be literally a spreadsheet's worth of content, in a database format.

At least ignore the code and allow importation of the content?

Anyway, I don't much care and am being downvoted to heck (!) - I just thought it an odd restriction.
Internet advertising and the internet in general has made newspapers less profitable. But this was happening regardless of what Google did. 92% of the decline came from loss of classified revenue (https://mumbrella.com.au/de-classified-what-really-happened-...). Obviously it makes no sense to vilify Craigslist, because someone else would have provided free, searchable classifieds if Craigslist hadn't. That's the nature of the internet, which has reduced the cost of publishing to nearly nothing.

A parallel to the demise of the newspaper classifieds is the once thriving industry of people who would copy books by hand in the 14th century. Then Gutenberg created a printing press that could make copies of books in a fraction of the time. Life didn't get better for those folks who's skills were no longer needed, but maybe it did for society as a whole. But for sure it didn't and doesn't make sense to vilify people who work at printing presses.

You're looking for a "bad guy" when maybe none exists.

Why exactly do you think no North Korean can make malware?

Hell, I've seen malware from countries in Africa that lack food. These societies have a lot of kurtosis.
Dude, it is well known that US is the single most powerful cyber warfare practitioner. They even had a few very successful operations in Iran and may be in China and Russia (you can guarantee that those countries won't disclose the incidents).

TBH, one should be happy that US possess such power. US might be biased, but the country is at least rational.
From another article [1]:

> The DOJ further noted in the memorandum that "to date, neither Australian, Canadian, nor American law enforcement has identified a single non-criminal user of Phantom Secure devices."

In February 2018, after doing a deal in Mexico, Ramos boasted in a text, later submitted to U.S. Federal Court: "We are f--king rich man. I swear to God you better f--king appreciate it. Get the f--king Range Rover brand new. Cuz I just closed a lot of business. This week man. Sinaloa Cartel that's what's up."

...

Ramos later pleaded guilty to one count of racketeering and is serving a nine-year sentence in a U.S. federal prison. As part of his plea, he agreed to forfeit proceeds of crime totalling $80 million US.

It sounds like he knew that he was selling these phones to criminals for the purpose of committing more crime. If he had some plausible deniability he might have been able to avoid charges, but in this case he's basically a co-conspirator. The sale of phones for illegal activities is the racket

Thanks, yeah I know what they are but not sure whether we need to purchase real ones or the course has some simulations.

We have logic analyzers for just 10 bucks? Wow that's much more affordable than I thought. I thought both need like hundreds of bucks.
I wonder if you could apply similar reasoning to critique "carbon neutrality".
Their biggest trading partner uses them as an attack dog to do the things they don't want to be directly associated with. It isn't unreasonable that it was given to them.
Yes of course, the Fed created trillions of dollars and doesn't know what to do with it.

I found this a very good point. You can almost make a point that Amazon should get credit for the entire value created by every business on AWS, even if it's almost certainly technically wrong. If you then add on the money they paid you, it becomes absurd. They paid you the value (to them) of the thing they bought.

> The point is, when you purchase a service from Amazon, the future value created by your usage of the service belongs to you, not to Amazon. Even if it seems like Amazon should get some credit, there’s no reasonable way to measure such things, no scheme for attributing “value creation” fairly between the producers of every good and service you may have consumed on your way to running a business. Anyway, Amazon has already been credited for providing those services since they made money off the deal. Every business relying on Amazon contributes to that $21 billion in profit Amazon made.
Coinbase and Basecamp are now certainly on my shortlist of companies that I would consider working for now, hoping for more like this
Well, by comparison, Iran is very competent at cyber but they keep getting their uranium centrifuges hacked. North Korea, on the other hand, already didn't get hacked, and built the bomb.

They have a lot less money than South Korea, and their political system is...what it is...but I don't see any reason a North Korean can't study just as hard as a South Korean and achieve similar results.

I think people confuse North Korea's suffering with weakness. I'll grant that there is a lot of hunger, but the mission from the beginning, of the guerrilla fighters who now run the country, was sovereignty at all costs. And I'd say purely in terms of sovereignty North Korea is doing remarkably well.
NFTs are mostly manipulated markets. No that picture of a bitcoin symbol did not sell copies to 300 people for $1000 each, netting them $300,000. It sold to the same person who made the picture 299 times and 1 person who got scammed into thinking there is a market for $1000 images on the internet, netting the owner $1000.
Even the fruit analogy is laughably wrong. If I have a basket of oranges and you have a string of sausages, and we swap some of each, there are no more sausages or oranges but the diet and nutrition of both of us has significantly improved. That's why merchants create value, buying from people with a surplus and selling to people with a need. You can kind of understand why medieval nobles didn't understand this, but in this day and age it's not exactly rocket science.

He gives his socialist credentials away later with the art example, only a worker making something can possibly add any value. It's the classic theory that managers and investors are all parasites and only workers create value. Again, value can absolutely be created by identifying an imbalance in supply (labour) and demand (products and services) and then working out how to resolve it. Somebody has to do it.

I'm not saying Bezos' sums are credible or accurate or even mean anything, but this critique is crazily off base.
Unless paintings are different than other assets commonly donated (e.g. stocks), this doesn’t sound right. If I donate a stock that has appreciated in value, I pay no capital gains tax and am still able to deduct the full market value of the stock (up to certain limits).
Cookie based redirects will be super nice for my team and I. We’ve been doing those with useEffect with firebase auth for a bit which didn’t perform badly but could perform better, and now it will!
So? Doesn't make their claim anymore invalid.

You might as well say they are an AV firm and there is a conflict of interest just by saying there is some x malware.

Either way they need to proof it.
That sounds like a personification of AI.
Humans form societies because we’re social animals who can leverage each other’s skills and time that way. We’re social animals because we’re animals. We get strange and feral alone because we’re evolved to not be alone.

None of that applies to an artificial or emergent intelligence that isn’t human.
It doesn’t necessarily need others. Its version of a society might be cloning itself and then reabsorbing itself. Or not bothering with cloning and simply spending 100 billion years exploring solo. Why wouldn’t it? It’s not a mammal made of water, carbon and salt.

The idea is the Singularity isn’t just that AIs will be far beyond us. It’s that they’ll be like nothing we can guess at or use analogies for.

It’s safe to say there are some things in the universe that mammal brains simply can’t perceive, understand, predict, or accept.

I think the reaction is distrust that the manufacturers will play nice. If it costs them $20/phone average to warranty them for another 12 months, they may charge $50 more per sale.

A similar thing happened in Canada. A few years ago, a law was passed that barred 3-year phone contracts (with a new max of 2 years). In retaliation, nearly all phone subsidies from carriers have stopped. Ie, there’s no such thing as “$0 phone on 3 year term” in Canada anymore.
Namecheap are not very cheap, and they basically stole a domain from me last year by freezing my account randomly and requiring a cam-show on an unrecognized domain where i was to put my credit card on cam to verify i was myself.. i tried contacting them, as it sounded sketchy, but the deadline ran out before they replied. They refunded some of my money and kept my domain.
I think the issue is that much of HN doesn't want to read this reporting.

It's much easier to read a PR blog post and imagine that your own thoughts and feelings about Twitter or something are what motivated it.
Thanks, I've found the Standard Ebooks (both kepubs and epubs) quite good and would recommend them if you're looking for something in the public domain. The downside is that their kepubs did not play well with Calibre.

By default Calibre didn't recognize Standard Ebook kepub files as anything other than a regular epub which caused it to reformat it (poorly) when sending to a Kobo eReader. It also prevented me from storing both the kepub and epub versions in my library.

There may be a better way but the workaround I use for now is to rename the kepub book files from .kepub.epub to .kepub which the Kobo eReader handles equally well. The downsides are that I have to remember to explicitly send the kepub format when I'm sending to a Kobo and I occasionally get notifications that there are duplicate book files in my library.
Or maybe we should blast it into the sun.

On a more serious note - something went terribly wrong if we consider it a good idea to keep wrapping (slow) abstractions and wrappers around things which work perfectly fine.
There are colloquial usages of 'value' that make this conversation more complicated. We might describe the value as the utility or desirability of the object -- use value -- where I value food because I can eat it.

Or the exchange value, ie, how many apples is this iron worth.

Or the labor value, ie, how much labor went into producing this item.

Or the price, ie, how much is this item worth in money.

It seems that in reading this sentence, the author is talking about the labor value of the fruits. The various parties may have different ideas about exchange values, prices, and use values, but the labor value doesn't change because the items have exchanged owners.
Reverse engineering of binaries is a well-understood field. Ensuring a binary and source code align is not a fully automated task at this time as far as I know, but is well within the capabilities of our industry.
Yes.

It’s caused numerous cultural and environmental problems.

Look at the sad state of the US today.

We didn’t even have the production capability to make n-95 masks.

Meanwhile, company spokesmen tell us that if we want change we should push our legislators; while having wholesale monopolies on lobbyists who do everything they can to ensure offshoring is extremely profitable.

Which grows the warchest of those screwing us over that much more.
You act as if the two are mutually exclusive. I don't think the points in the comment you replied to are negated by anything you argued.

> For example, when I confronted him in person about the episode in Berlin, he told me that I had lured him. His words left me scared, humiliated, and ashamed. I found myself self-doubting, distressed, and depressed.

Ya from an armchair this does seem like classic narcissistic abuse. Mentor public figure in a position of power. Blame and gaslight the victim when confronted. Then shame the victim when she comes forward with her story.
Disagree.

The number one newspaper killer is... Craigslist.

Also the general move away from paper printed and delivered every day to internet news delivery.
That is savage.

And disturbingly accurate, as once you strip away the admittedly really quite nice typography from Accenture documents like this, you are left with just absolute pablum.

At this point, isn't Bitcoin a national security threat to the USA?

The value of the coins mined in Iran is directly tied to the current spot price of Bitcoin.

Isn't in the USA's interest now to ban the exchange of Proof of Work coins in the USA? Which will subsequently crash the price and weaken Iran.

The city I live in voted for municipal broadband in 2017. Our local private internet provider Comcast fought it at every turn, Comcast spent millions fighting municipal broadband in a city with about 150,000 residents. We started rolling out our own broadband to residents in 2020. It took a couple of years for the city to hire and build up a department and lay the infrastructure to support it city wide and I finally got the service at the beginning of this year, and it has been awesome. We have gigabit internet up AND DOWN for $59.95/month. What really burns me is the private providers we have, Comcast and CenturyLink, have been here for decades and could have done exactly what our city has done: run fiber to every neighborhood and house. It would have been cheaper for them too, they already had the infrastructure in place. They chose not to make the investment and instead spent millions trying to prevent us from providing better service for ourselves. I hope everyone has the chance to get better/cheaper internet service for themselves and their community, so far it has worked out great for us.
Okay, so let's imagine it's a societal norm that Bobs eat on the floor rather than a company rule. A group of Bobs are agitating for change, so I institute a gag policy on the topic. Neutral?

There is a directly following paragraph about how this exchange is not exactly zero-sum, but so far from being representable by the dollar value changing hands that it doesn't matter for the purposes of identifying the value as $91 billion.
