I think such long embargoes are bad.

Embargoes prevent that the average cyber criminal knows about the problems, but the resourceful organizations already get the information before the public knows about them. I think even 90 days are pretty long.

For example 253 vendors were informed about the problem in dnsmasq about 3 months before it was published:
https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/434904 (all vendors listed here were informed)
In each organization probably multiple people know about this.

> All of them are forms of "`lhs.rhs` tries to look up a different type to apply the `rhs` to vs what type `lhs` actually has,"

Nope, it uses the same type (A), just blindly adds a operator to the argument based on which method is called. You could just as easily have `a.foo()` -> `A::foo(++a)` instead; it's just[0] that adding `++` would be largely useless.

0: You'd also need a explict annotation on the declaration of foo, but that's a convenience issue.

One thing they do to keep CPI low is using "equivalent items".

So if the iPhone 4 cost $500 ten years ago, and you can now buy an "equivalent" cheap Android from WalMart for $50 then they measure this as deflation.

Don't think you need to negotiate at all. I have no plans to work remotely when my office reopens (I hate it, it's bad for my mental health), but without even looking for _any_ job, I get 3-5 emails a day about remote gigs all over the US just by being on LinkedIn and having a software dev job.

I enjoyed the article, so I'm not trying to pick on the author too much, but I always find it funny when technical people say this about engineered things. Each of those things is literally an entire discipline and you could still spend a career (or at least many years) only working on one of them. I think we have a tendency to think that because we can understand something and have taken some of the magic out of it that it isn't complex.

99% of companies? Definitely not. The skills needed to do DS in business or healthcare are not very correlated with doing DS for the physical sciences. Which is the whole point of this comment thread, sure you can understand DL, but you also have to have an understanding of the field to know what type of DL to use. For example, in my role, I came with knowledge of machine learning but had to learn complex fluid physics to be able to know what type of DL techniques to apply or develop.
And for every single study of every single variant that has been studied, the vaccine in the study significantly reduces the incidence of severe cases of COVID-19 among the trial group. There is not a single study covering any variant for which this is not the case.

Yes we have obviously not tested every combination of vaccine and SARS-CoV-2 variant. But so far, the evidence that we have supports the working assumption that all vaccines drastically reduce, or in some cases eliminate entirely severe COVID-19 symptoms.

In 2009 my rent was $550 in Pittsburgh. I just looked and today the same unit is going for $980, a 78% increase. According to published inflation numbers that should be a 23.5% increase to $679 today. So at least from our two examples we can see the effect is not evenly distributed.

edit: incidentally, in 2009 the minimum wage was $7.25, and my rent would have been 47% of my gross income. Today the minimum wage is still $7.25 and if I had stayed at the same apartment at the same wage, my rent would be 84% of my gross income.

If you use email like a rube, it is expected to be absolute garbage. The same goes for Facebook or Twitter or Reddit, though: you have to change a lot of settings to get a decent experience.

The pols who shout from the rooftops that 'billionaires should not exist' and stuff like that are being disingenuous at best, liars at worst. All that is rhetoric, pure and simple. It's trivial for billionaires to defer income, as it is drawn from capital investments, which can easily take flight to more favorable climes. Not to mention the considerable legal muscle and access to the corridors of power.

The only people who suffer from the mass hysteria are the working stiffs who happen upon a couple windfalls in their lives, i.e., your typical tech workers.
I'm saying that "all of the internet" is more than the public internet. You seem to be saying the opposite, especially since you said "archiving the whole internet" which implies that any one entity has that sort of access. You say "Public or not" as if that does not make a difference, but there is a huge chasm between the privacy you can (and reasonably should) expect depending on it.

I think privacy is something we should strive for, but I think that when something is said publically on a globally broadcasted medium people cannot reasonably have an expectation of privacy. The problem with privacy in my mind is when there can reasonably be an expectation of privacy but that isn't met.

If I tweet something it's clear that's public. If I DM someone that should be private.

Why is it reasonable to not expect that there would be someone saving public data?
It's not possible to be consistent because it's physically not possible to read everything, or even close.

I'm sure you're right that there are tropes of reaction in particular areas that deserve to get moderated by the same principles (of avoiding repetition etc.) and I don't doubt that you see some of them more clearly than I do. If you want to help with that, you could let us know when you see them, particularly when they're sitting at the top of a thread, choking out more interesting discussion. Downweighting those is probably the single biggest thing we can do to help discussion quality.

I wouldn't use the word "negative" - that covers way too many things. We're not trying to exclude negativity. We're trying to prevent certain common forms of it from dominating. I don't think it's so hard to understand why—this place would cease to be interesting if they did dominate. Thoughtful critique is always welcome, and we don't label that "predictable" because it isn't.

Re "industry cheerleading in this community is wildly untethered" - such perceptions are conditioned by the passions of the perceiver. If you had opposite passions, you'd have opposite perceptions. The data set has more than enough data points to satisfy all of these. That is by far the most consistent phenomenon I've observed on HN; nothing else comes close.
No, your reply was a flagrant straw man. "every such idea must be true" != "confusing chance with wisdom or luck with skill." A straw man is where you're evading an argument by pretending it's something it isn't.

I certainly didn't "convert his point" into anything more "stupid" than what he said. In a somewhat farcically stereotypical way, this venture capitalist argues he makes decisions -- better than a coin toss presumably -- based on the notion that "domain experts" know what they're talking about. My contention was that venture capitalists don't pick winners better than a coin toss at all. They are simply gambling. When they win a jackpot, they construct a fiction that the win was predestined on some rational basis and not simply chance.

(Persisting with your ad hominem, by the way, isn't working.)

Oh they care, A few years ago WA instituted at sugar sin tax on candy and soda, and it was rapidly repealed by ballot initiative the same year. It didn't help that the definition of what was considered candy was extremely arbitrary.

Then there was New York Soda size cap that was almost immediate overturned in court challenges before it could even take affect.

802.11bf: Toward Ubiquitous Wi-Fi Sensing
At some point in the 80's or 90's I read a book by someone who was at AT&T and into simulating room dynamics.

One thing I remember is that, according to him, a large amount of classical music sounds much better when the transfer function approximates a relatively tall, narrow room (like a cathedral) than when it approximates a relatively short, wide room (like a modern concert hall).

(note that construction spans, lighting, and ventilation, all conspire to make historical rooms taller and narrower than our typical rooms)
I suppose I used the term wrong, but you do need to be within receiving range and depending on the attack you need to win a race condition, so it's not that far from the generally accepted use of "physical access".

Meanwhile, many consumer routers can be hacked by adding something similar to <img src=192.168.1.1/admin/changesettings.cgi/> to a page or malicious ad. I don't think general consumers should be worried about someone aiming a high gain antenna at your router unless you work at a company dealing with sensitive information or places like embassies. The alternatives are much easier and much cheaper to execute.
There must be an evolutionary basis for some of this. Reacting to the appearance of plants could be really useful to a foraging human. But as modern humans we have repurposed that skill towards something more abstract. Pretty daffodils instead of starchy foods. But we probably all have some capacity to use that ability.
All the "evolution" is is getting you to use bespoke rich clients for email-like store-and-forward systems (fb messenger, instagram dm, et c) that show you ads that you can't configure and can't replace.

If "email" simply means "gmail.com" to you then it's natural to assume that you'd think it hasn't evolved.
Yeah, I can buy cheap 55 inch tvs for days. But my family's health insurance is still $36k/year (and regularly going up). I guess that can buy me about 75 55 inch tvs though, maybe I should spend it on that instead.
Where on Earth are you getting that Apple's market share is "extremely large and stable"?

iPhones account for 17% of the smartphone market.[0] That's less than Samsung.

iOS has 27% market share against Android's 72% [1].

Apple has a monopoly on Apple products. Yes, there is a high barrier to entry to compete with Apple on making Apple products.

But they in no sense have a dominant market position, much less one to be compared with Microsoft at their height when IE had 95% market share of browsers [2]

The simple solution is to not tell the hiring manager that you burned out. They don't need to know exactly why you left your job. Hell you don't really have to tell them you are unemployed.

If you leave a long gap in your resume they will be curious of course. Say you quit to pursue a self-employment opportunity and it didn't work out.
You do know that there is the concept of carrier strike groups which involve you putting a bunch of planes on an aircraft carrier and sailing it to the region. Just like UK's HMS Queen Elizabeth is doing as we speak.

Also there are US air bases in Phillipines, Singapore, South Korea, Australia, Guam etc. This is going to be a regional conflict not just between US and China.

Again. Anyone who says there is a 100% chance of winning is delusional and ignores the history of war on this planet.

While amusing anecdata, your picture of a copper cable price is an indication of not much:

The problem is they're only meant to provide short term fixes, much like an ER doctor.

I agree with extending unemployment benefits during a pandemic, but it's ridiculous for single people making $75k to get a handout that comes straight from government debt.

I can definitely agree with this, the means test was a bit wonky.

It's fine to want all your communication on an open protocol, but email is just plain clunky and not good at all for the types of online communication people have grown accustomed to. It literally is just an electronic equivalent of sending a letter, and inherits most of the limitations that implies.

If any of us are ever going to convince friends and family to leave proprietary platforms like Messenger and Discord, we are going to need an open protocol that allows for the same features and level of polish. Trying to get everyone to just use email is a complete non-starter.

The problem is that the world 'feudal' is very overloaded. There are some historians that basically refuse to use it outside of a very limited perspective. Other historians (mostly non-medieval historians) use it for basically everything from 700 AD to 1700 AD. Medieval historians are not very happy with this.

The paper basically mentions this here:

> First, by the eighteenth century feudalism was primarily (but not solely) a system of property law rather than a mode of production or a form of social domination.

So basically their argument is that the type of property law changed under Napoleon. And that is probably fair (I need to read the whole paper). But I would say that 'ended feudalism'. Its probably a good thing, I would agree.

I must admit I don't know enough about property relation in France. I would like to read this paper in more detail. I read far more about Russia and Britain, stemming form my dislike of France.

I have pushed people to learn Rust. And I noted that the more experience in software design a person has, the easier it is for them to truly internalize the borrow checker.

I suspect this is because you naturally get to an instinctive form of ownership model similar to Rust. Since it is a really good way to reduce complexity. Rust then, merely formalizes and name it for you.
I manage people and have some advice.

Start with, "I'd like to be converted to full remote, what's the process for that?" The answer is probably "I don't know but I don't think it would fly." Insist that your manager ask up the chain for an official answer.

If the answer is "nope", next say: "I'm not comfortable returning to the office for health reasons. Will I be fired?" This is two-pronged:

a) it introduces private healthcare decisions, a legally fraught topic they do not want to deal with. Is it legal to fire someone for refusing to return to the office despite health concerns? Probably, but no one knows for sure and your employer does not want to be the test case. (If they ask, "what health concerns?" remind them that's private. Don't invent a fictitious medically-fragile aunt.)

b) It may force them to confront the fact that they will lose people over this. They very likely think of wfh as a perk, something they can decide by fiat without consequence. If no one quits over it, that's exactly what it will be.

If they stick to their guns, it's time to look for another job I suppose. If they have some explanation for why wfh is bad ("productivity is down, look at this graph", or "the value of hallway conversations" or whatever) I wouldn't bother arguing unless it's a small enough company that you can argue with the person who made the decision.

>The author being a founder a company for which cryptocurrencies are competitors makes this doubly true.

I totally missed this. That makes it worse. The company's tagline is "[company name] digitises cash and settlement processes for multinational corporates [sic?]", which is a pretty clear overlap. I don't necessarily see any evidence he's doing anything in bad faith, though - I just think he's extremely biased and narrowly agenda-driven.

My main issue is just how much he seems to viscerally hate cryptocurrencies. It makes it harder to take it seriously. Like how incredibly snarky and spiteful he comes across in his most recent ostensibly-about-programming blog post: https://www.stephendiehl.com/posts/fpt.html

cryptoBusinessLogic = bid $ 10000000 $ do
profits <- runRansomware
launderMoney profits drugCartels
void $ smashPuppies

It's all starting to feel so political and a little bit religious. I sense a lot of parallels between staunchly pro- and anti-cryptocurrency people and the US political divide and culture wars. I know it's an annoying trope (https://xkcd.com/774/), but in the case of both politics and cryptocurrency, each side seems insufferable. I feel "accidentally moderate" (http://www.paulgraham.com/mod.html) on both topics.

edit: Side note, just to counter-balance the criticism. I knew his name seemed familiar; he wrote one of the most useful and formative tutorials for me when I started programming about a decade ago: https://sdiehl.github.io/gevent-tutorial/. (Although it's a bit gauche now, I still use gevent for new projects to this day.) It's more due to serendipity than anything else since there's not anything too special about it, but in my case it's actually possible I never would've become a developer if not for his tutorial - I used it to build my first programming project at a time when I was kind of struggling with many concepts and unsure if I wanted to go through with it. It goes to show that there isn't necessarily much correlation between (one's perception of) people's technical and non-technical attributes.
