> With normal review cycle times, this would slow things very much.

Compared to how much it would slow things down having to try to revert or correct a commit that both fixes a bug and introduces a feature? Especially if that change involved any sort of DB schema change that had to be reverted.

Anyone who has ever gone to production with a set of changes that involved an important bug fix and introduced a high-value feature, only to find that the whole thing had to be reverted because of a bug in the new feature, re-introducing the bug to customers, knows the importance of small, separable changes.
Assuming the marketplace is functioning, the demand for these sort of "features" (aka: non-features) would assume there would be a rational supplier to give it.

The next step in that debate is "yeah but the big monopolies are making it impossible for a little guy to get in." Which is true.

We can agree the regulatory capture is bad.

In the meanwhile, Google is not openly saying they will run ML on your images on your phone. With Android, you don't have to sync to the cloud, and you could even replace or add your own camera option. You can side-load without jailbreaking, etc.

Now, not that most consumer friendly option, but the advice for this crowd is still good - if you still have an iPhone and this is the last straw for you, there are plenty of good options that still exist, today. And then - let's fight regulatory capture and big government so a more dynamic marketplace can take root.
Apple is altering the deal. Pray they don't alter it any further.

Let me shift. “I don’t know if Trump made up the Obama birth certificate scandal for publicity. But Trump has bent the truth like an Olympic gymnast in the past, so maybe.”

My point about the flat earth comment, is there are low hanging fruit of obvious lies that are used to push for labels of misinformation on non-objective opinions.

I know, for a fact, the earth is not flat. As a submarine radioman, I relied on this fact for everything from navigation to satcomms.

I do not know HRC or Trump personally, so I only have my views that were fed to me through the distorted lens of the media, my own experiences, and personal biases.

Show HN: Descriptiv – what's causing a stock to move
Any Wall Street trading floor is littered with flashing ticker screens with news stories zipping by.

Descriptiv is trying to turn this noise into "what is the most important thing I need to know, now".

Why I find this interesting... many times the catalyst driving a stock is coming from a different compnay and you spend a lot of time chasing down "who/what/why". This is especially common in BioTech where there is a lot of trading on rumor, no news, and you want to know which company has the rumor. Follow the "peer factor" trail here to find out.

Two step process:

1) Shine the flashlight on the catalyst for a stock move - we quantitatively attribute current price movement of the stock from coming from the broad market, your peer cohort or "other" (which generally means its idiosyncratic or a peer we aren't considering). If a peer... which peer.

2) Once a spotlight is on a catalyst - what is the most relevant news driving that one company.

What you are seeing here is just the first step.

They also suggest "Account lockout".

> The most common protection against these attacks is to implement account lockout, which prevents any more login attempts for a period after a certain number of failed logins.

Imho account lockout has a huge downside.
It reveals the username to attackers, because only on correct usernames the account lockout hooks in.
I just would keep it silent and throttle the requests down on any false attemp.
Actually, Wikipedia's definition of spyware makes a point in the intro that this behavior may be present in malware as well as in legitimate software and concludes that because these behaviors are so common, and can have non-harmful uses, providing a precise definition of spyware is a difficult task.
You could just get a cell phone that you can turn off. I think they still make them, but get them while you can. Eventually that won't work, because your car will be able to observe you just as easily probably.

I have an old razor flip phone I might start using again. That and an iPod touch with no cellular.

This is here to stay. Time to adapt to it.
> I've recently started listening to a lot of podcast episodes on the subject (primarily Unchained and a16z)

It’s an okay podcast if (and only if) you recognize that a16z is in the business of “investing” early into new coins, using their brand to hype those coins, then selling them off when they can get the market excited about the coin.

The technical content of the podcast might be reasonable, but you can’t separate it from their very large conflict of interests.

That's very different. There, the thing being referred to is the thing they didn't want to refer to.

Here, there is nothing whatsoever wrong with the _thing_ being referred to (a password, in this case.) The issue is that the commonly used word _also_ has some other associations. So picking a different word means you lose those associations. Not the same thing at all.
Apple has been the longtime LLVM stalwart, starting from when they first brought out Chris Lattner from the University of Illinois. There are whole subsystems which they've driven such as GlobalISel. However with the M1, Apple has moved wholesale over to ARMv8. Consequently, their efforts are with the AArch64 backend (which they also wrote) and not with X86.

Yes, this announcement has to do with the Intel toolchain above the IR layer but I think it signals that they'll be contributing more patches to the X86 backend as well.

The X86 backend is upstream, and LLVM owns it. Indeed its named Code Owner works for SiFive. Intel won't be grabbing ownership of it. But I think they'll be contributing more to it. This is a good thing for LLVM.

I've only spun up a SEV instance for the novelty but am considering using it for things like hashicorp vault where performance isn't critical but extra privacy assurance is nice.

Fundamentally, though, system security hasn't caught up with the promise of SEV. It's far more likely that a VM will be compromised by 0-day attacks than insiders at the cloud companies. But if you really need to run a secure kernel on someone else's machine then SEV is the way of the future. This includes using SEV on-premises against hardware attacks. I've wanted hardware RAM encryption for a decade or two to avoid coldboot attacks and similar hardware vulnerabilities.
I would bet that today's public domain open web is larger than it was in 1999. It's just harder to find because search engines prioritize large closed silo sites and outside those sites search has been largely destroyed by spam.

It's sort of like the people who say mobile devices are destroying the more open PC market and replacing it with closed mobile "consoles."

There are far more PCs out there today than there were in the 1990s and they are cheaper, faster, easier to use, and more versatile. The reason people think mobile has eaten everything is because growth in mobile has outpaced growth in PCs and there are now far more mobile devices than PCs. The PC market has still grown though, so there are more PCs than ever.

Mobile growth is plateauing too. The mobile explosion was the creation of a new computing niche more than the displacement of an old one, though low-end and narrower PC use cases have been displaced by phones and tablets. PCs have become more like trucks vs. cars, machines for "real work."

We also have a lot more OS and architectural choices in PCs today than in the 1990s. Linux is pretty usable and MacOS no longer sucks, so with Windows there are now three major choices available. Others like FreeBSD and OpenBSD are also viable but not as popular. You can even get an ARM laptop or desktop in the form of Raspberry Pi style boards in laptop form factors, larger ARM64 "server" chip boards that can work as desktops running Linux, or in the form of Apple Silicon Macs (that can also run other OSes on ARM in VMs), so you now have two CPU architectures in the mainstream PC market instead of just one.

Lastly there's a huge market today for cheap single board computers like the Raspberry Pi that did not exist at all back then.

A similar comparison by the way applies to the metal server market vs. cloud. There are far more racked up servers today than there were in the 90s. Cloud has just grown really quickly, so there's even more cloud deployments.

I find myself already contemplating the websites I visit, the videos I watch and the things I post, even anonymously, because my interests include military electronics among other things.

So I scammed at the duel arena for a few years. Made quite a lot of gp, then RWT it all.

I remember a period of time before I could confidently call myself a productive programmer in which I’d spend 90% of my time trying to understand best practices instead of building shit. It came from a place of wanting to “get it right” as education had incentivized rather than “being valuable” as capitalism rewards.

I got out of that frame by working with and watching other doers. I think real education happens when we see masters practicing their form, not when we symbolically learn about the form
I'm extremely interest the general feeling and views societies had in the past: how they perceived the present and the future, as a whole.

Objectively life has become better and more comfortable for the vast majority of humans since then (Hans Rosling does a beautiful job of exploring this).

But I do think that perceptions and feelings matter, and even though material wellbeing is a prerequisite to that, so is also the general feeling and view that those around you hold, and in many ways I feel we've gone backwards in that.

>but what is a business but an agreement with the government to operate under certain rules.

Mafias can run businesses without government regulation or consent, with employees, payroll, logistics, even internal regulations - a black market is still a market.
But isn't the point that despite the very real and avoidable tragedies along the way, things have continued to improve quite quickly? So as we continue, we can expect more preventable tragedies (whatever "preventable" actually means), but also more progress to benefit the vast majority of us who do make it?

I don't think we need to get bent out of shape about the aspects of human nature that cause horror and tragedy, since they seem so greatly overshadowed by aspects of the same nature which are driven to continuously improve. The good guys are winning, by a lot.
Thanks (to you and the other responders) for clarifying; that makes sense.

Reminds me of the trick of shining a laser on a window and recording its fluctuations from sound vibrations on the window surface.

The linked method is simpler and uses the LED power level which dips when speakers are operating to correlate to an audio signal. Pretty neat.

This would require external speakers and line of sight I assume, but still neat and probably a lot of nation-state or commercial espionage applications.

I'll note as an ex-CoFounder/CTO that the scrutiny over FAANG acquisitions are throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

1. These are great ways to create and be able to cash out for founders

2. These are great ways to grow something you cannot because small companies dont have as much money, and because jumping from one VC round to the next is very risky.

3. Many of these companies create immense global value and could not possibly have gotten to where they are w/o the resources of a FAANG (think YouTube, WhatsApp) -- and if you think otherwise, where are the competitors? (I mean...this isnt like cell phone contracts, you can switch chat clients or video streaming sites easily)
Does anyone have any details about how they were tested?

It’s actually easier to test at scale when infections are rare: If you only expect something like 0.001% of tests to be positive, you can start combining 1000s of samples into batches to test at once, only narrowing into individual tests if a batch shows positive results.

This can shave orders of magnitude off of the number of tests that need to be run. Of course, actually collecting samples from 11M people in a week (if we are to believe the government-provided statistics) is still a massive logistical achievement.

Yes, but the point of a digital contract is that everything doesn't hinge on proof of a meeting of the minds. If lawyers and the digital contract can now be so far apart that one says you get the money and the other says you get jail time that isn't an improvement over local law.

They need to go back and wrap all this stuff in actual legal boiler plate to have a meeting of the minds limiting what any individual digital contract can mean, if anything, rather than pretending this is orthogonal when it clearly is not.

I have a fairly dim view of China's ethics and respect for human rights, and so tend to suspect the worst; however, the hyper-competition in China's production industries has led to product ecosystems rife with unsafe materials (e.g. lead), and other cut corners. Now that many Chinese are able to purchase the things they produce, I can imagine that safety regulations are starting to be demanded by the public, and that is a good thing. Nevertheless, I am sure this push will also be used to further crackdown on political dissent and to consolidate power, I can well imagine.
