Your last sentence is really why I'm always bearish on all these 3d platforms.

We are just barely able to do these concurrent chats on 2d, mostly because of advancements on stuff like webRTC.

Thanks. Their comment is (flagged) (dead), which is one of my least favorite parts of HN. For a site that doesn't let you delete comments after two hours because it believes you should stand by what you say, it structurally removes your most egregious comments from view. That allows dog whistle arguments to fester and comments that mistakenly go mask off to be conveniently hidden quickly from the general discourse.

It's so incredibly wrong to pick lines from a text out of context like that to attack someone. It's exactly how some people tried to sink Bernie Sander 2020 presidential campaign by referring to his "rape fantasy" essay from the 1970s. Read Kamau Bobb's blog post in full (it's only six paragraphs or so). It s about how he imagines how a progressive Jew has to struggle with reconciling his commitment to Israel with his humanist views. His thought may have been misguided, and he may not fully have understood how Jewishness and Judaism works, but they are certainly not hateful towards Jews.
I'd rather ignore all the livestock stuff and focus on this:

"Nobody agrees on exactly how much it costs to offset a ton of carbon. This site says "anywhere from $0.10 per tonne to $44.80 per tonne", but eventualy settles on $3.30."

So, if we were paying the true environmental cost of CO2 involved in driving, how much would that be?

Let's assume $44 is the number. A Prius emits about 226g/mile. That means in 50 miles, it's 11.3kg or around 0.0124 tons (I'm not going to worry about metric, imperial or whatever)

That means the high end is ~55 (US) cents per gallon of gas.

Average fuel taxes in the US in 2019 were supposedly about 53 cents per gallon, including state and local.

So...how exactly do you talk about economic jargon, externalities, and carbon offsets while maintaining the idea that climate change is not a solved problem?

The largest figure over a huge range suggests the worst case is raising average gas taxes by 2 cents per gallon!

I'm not saying the conclusion is correct, I'm saying there is some major inconsistency lurking.

Note that, even though lots of cars get worse mileage than a Prius, and emit more CO2, they also pay proportionally more gas taxes, so it should balance out, right?
I'm not sure the "of course" part is warranted. Most places offer no real training.
That's a pretty strong statement considering there was an extended review period before merging and no one expressed any concerns.

Instead of singling out a single person, I think it's more accurate to say the security community in general dropped the ball by not bringing concerns earlier to the maintainer who performed the merge(s).
We publicly subsidize every other kind of security to some degree already. A company might have security guards, but police are certainly going to be there to provide a baseline policing the neighborhood, respond to calls, etc.

And security via threat of retaliation does not sound like a practical or effective solution either: we already have plenty of capabilities in that area, and it didn't stop east coast oil & gas infrastructure from going down or a sizeable portion of the nation's meat processing from going the same way. These attacks are escalating rapidly, and relying in the free market to find a solution doesn't look like it's going to happen fast enough.

This needs to be a national, not (just) a private corporate issue because of the enormous national security implications involved in cyber attacks against infrastructure. When a single company's security failure can cause national chaos, there needs to be a nation-level approach to this.

Is it a good point though? I mean, I've already said that in my situation, I do not care about power consumption. I'm not saying this isn't a good feature of the M1, it is just irrelevant when you're plugged in, and you can dissipate the heat. Both of these are the case when I work, so I would consider it to have no downsides, with a 3x speedup. Likewise, this is not relevant for those who have such power constraint, that need to work on 10 hour long train rides. I'm not sure what is so difficult about accepting these constraints, since most replies so far to my post about "if power consumption isn't relevant to you" with "well, the power consumption is much better".

The point here was the nostalgic "I miss the days when computer performance increased noticeably", which apparently hasn't happened for a while, until the M1 came along. If it is performance you're after, the only way that sentiment could hold true, was if you limiting yourself to the rather poor performance in older apple hardware. Just think about it... if a 1.33 speedup would give this feeling, imagine what a 4x speedup would feel like.

So, it's not that I think the M1 is bad. It's that these posts that keep popping up, week after week on Hacker News, which go to some lengths to show how the M1 is 30% faster at some heavy work load than the older, and much worse Intel processors. It just seems strange.

While I agree with your assessment, it was not just "unauthorized", it was straight up corruption. Making an agreement to accept a $5000 cash payment from some sketchy dude to look up a third party's accessible-to-law-enforcement only details. The guy should have been prosecuted under various existing corruption statutes and not the CFAA.

SSHing into an untrusted box is - sadly - a security minefield. Some trip hazards include:

-Unless specifically instructed not to, ssh will send all key fingerprints to the server

-ssh sends a string describing the exact version of SSH and operating system you’re running, and this behavior can't be changed

-If the client has taken the unwise but plausibly lazy step of wildcard-enabling ssh agent forwarding, the server can masquerade as the client and log into any servers they have keys for

-If the client has X11 forwarding set up by default, the server can sniff the client's keystrokes (among a great many other things)

I don’t think that’s a fair comparison. I think a fair comparison would be 80,000 companies buy the same vault door from supplier X.

The official contract is Standard Form 312 [1] which strictly only carries civil penalties - it's little more than an NDA except it carries the weight of the executive (in the sense that the executive branch can use its authority to enforce it). The actual criminal charges come from a variety of laws like the Espionage Act of 1917, Intelligence Identities Protection Act, etc that each protect a variety of information using a national security exception to get around constitutional issues. My understanding is that the glue that holds them together is this line in SF 312:

> In addition, I have been advised that any unauthorized disclosure of classified information by me may constitute a violation, or violations, of United States criminal laws, including the provisions of sections 641, 793, 794, 798, 952 and 1924, title 18, United States Code; the provisions of section 783(b}, title 50, United States Code; and the provisions of the Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982. I recognize that nothing in this Agreement constitutes a waiver by the United States of the right to prosecute me for any statutory violation

(again, IANAL and this is definitely not legal advice)

Being reassigned as opposed to fired is quite the privilege.

Everyone in the comments is viewing it as completely different than the Damore fiasco because this racist blog post was written in 2007, but are we forgetting that Antonio Martinez wrote Chaos Monkeys 5 years ago and was fired for it now? [1]

> "Authorization" is more than just technical controls.

SCOTUS just literally said the opposite.
The market doesn’t incentivize security until it is too late. A pipeline operator that passes security costs onto consumers will lose to one with lower security and lower costs. Serious, significant attacks might occur at year 5, when the company becomes a big enough target to make it worthwhile to attack. By this time, the company who did not invest as heavily in security has captured the market while the one that invested in security does not have strong market share or may have gone out of business.

Or they invested, but not in the right areas, or there was a new attack through a zero day.

They can be extremely competent in managing oil and gas (and the physical and operational safety that comes with it), but not be competent in Cybersecurity.

It’s real, hard costs today for something that may or may not happen and paying for controls that might prevent an attack. In the best case, as a customer, nothing happens. Whether improving the likelihood that nothing happen is worth a $1 or $3 per barrel premium (or if that $2 is justified) is a hazy mess and hard to make a decision around.

You are applying too broad a definition to "authorization." In this context it refers specifically to the configured authorization behavior of the computer system. They gave him the equivalent of a key to a lock implemented in the computer system, and the law is meant to address the equivalent of someone who pick locks, not someone who misuses the access provided by keys they were given.

I'm a bit tired of the victim blaming with security.

The victims of these breaches are the end users. Companies are the beneficiaries of not having to pay for and especially not having to inconvenience themselves with much more secure systems.

That said, it's true you can't ask for 100% security. You can instead set standards. You can especially set standards of security for any enterprise that the public dependents on. Since, there are no coherent standards now, just liability isn't useful. And the standards should involve actual topology, what kinds of information is allowed in and out at all.
If the message comes with, "You have X time to fix this or you will have Y penalty" it definitely changes the risk/reward equation. Severe enough penalties moves it from "if we have spare cycles" to "how do we get this done."

Since I do live in the consumer's paradise I'm naturally suspicious. I wonder if people will sometimes be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, and if they don't bother to ask for a human in the loop after the automated decision, then that's that.

“We don’t arrive and now we are not racist,” DiAngelo said.

In her view (and mine), becoming "not racist" isn't really a thing that happens and then you're done, and you don't have to worry about not being racist anymore. Rather, it's an ongoing effort, the same way being a kind person or a hard worker is. In this understanding, "all white people are racist" is not a condemnation of white people or an attempt to cast white people as inherently bad or irredeemable. Rather, it's meant as a wake-up call - "Yes, all white people, even you, believe racist things and sometimes act in racist ways." If you want to be anti-racist, it is important to recognize these things within yourself and improve them, in the same way that you work to improve the world outside you.

Since this is a different definitional understanding (semantics?) than the person who says "I'm not racist," it can be a tricky point to communicate properly without being misunderstood or taken out of context.

I don't agree with all of DiAngelo's points or writing, but on this core one, I think she's not too far off the mark.
In my experience, it's common in American English as well. Not sure what the parent commenter is on about.
Ah-HA! Thank you so much! You're absolutely right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_Hartley_transform

the inverse transformation, which allows one to recover the xn from the Hk, is simply the DHT of Hk multiplied by 1/N. That is, the DHT is its own inverse (involutory), up to an overall scale factor.

The DHT can be used to compute the DFT, and vice versa. For real inputs xn, the DFT output Xk has a real part (Hk + HN−k)/2 and an imaginary part (HN−k − Hk)/2. Conversely, the DHT is equivalent to computing the DFT of xn multiplied by 1 + i, then taking the real part of the result.

It's so cool to discover something like this in the wild, then find out it has a formal name (DHT) and that people have already done the hard work of figuring out all the useful properties and relations.

I wish I had a way of contacting you (mostly to thank you in person, but also to ask what you use DHT for / how you learned about it), but unfortunately your HN profile is empty. Feel free to DM me on twitter sometime to say hello (https://twitter.com/theshawwn). Otherwise, cheers for brilliantly pointing out the exact answer I was hoping for!
That the Sackler Family Empire is able to negotiate its way around the Law is damn disgusting and unacceptable.

The fact that the privileged, powerful and rich are able to 'negotiate' the law in this way is symptomatic of our sick democracies. It's little wonder that so many people no longer have faith in their governance or trust their public institutions.

As opposed to the very coherent legal view of a "living constitution"? Because sure, textualism can seem arbitrary at times, but it at least tries not to be. I don't understand what's more coherent about judges basically ignoring or rewriting the laws in whatever way they want, and do it openly under the pretext that they felt like "things just change bro, society is just different now & they didn't mean what they wrote anyways"

It sounds pretty harsh but to me it's boils down to this: while textualism can lead to excesses & dubious interpretations by judges...The alternative can lead to any interpretation since it surrenders the entire judicial process to the judges while hoping they won't go too far because they just wouldn't dare?
