That may be true if you assume the threat is a state actor or TLA. That's not the case here. A USB based method for resetting a device would be perfectly acceptable to use before sending in a device for repair.

If you're worried about a state removing the flash chips to recover data from dead/used cells, you don't send your phone in for repair. You secure the data with a drill before disposing of it. That clearly wasn't the owner's concern. They wanted a method for securing the device, but couldn't due to the screen. This is in no way the owner's fault. I can't say I blame them wanting to have a working phone and not a very expensive paper weight.

A better method for securely erasing data from a phone before service is in everyone's best interests. The customer's data isn't at risk, the manufacturer has significantly reduced liability, and the vendor doing the work doesn't have to worry about employees doing something stupid like this and risking their contract with Google. You really just have to make the process of getting the data off the phone slightly more difficult to avoid casual theft (infringement? -- I don't know the right word here).
No, I confirmed that it is for all years. They deliberately don't make money on domain name registration. The use it to attract/retain business for their other services.

The point is that if there are people suffering throughout the world; and when one points to a very rare improbability as the "way out," while swiftly moving past the topic as "done and closed": that's a dumb take.

Yes, one can go through hell-and-back, roll the dice, and pray and hope that endless struggle for a better life will turn out well -- even if the odds are awful. No, this should not be the only way towards a better life or lauded as "unparalleled social mobility."

I don’t think I dismissed the value of the paper. I pointed out that implementation may not be that good, and best paper award and quality of the implementation most of the time are not correlated.
And is only an increased concern because it might be more adept at evading the spike-based vaccines.

Oh, but they are that stupid.
We require healthcare workers wash their hands.

We require other vaccines.

There is plenty of room for dissent, but it stops being “dissent” when it is simply denying reality.
The bizarre thing is that this is already HEAVILY done - both Android and iOS will give you multiple warnings if you fail to setup a screen lock (+ biometrics). Once those locks are in place, it's not really possible to access the data on device without knowing the PIN/Password, even when repairing.
I'm sure they do indeed have special pricing for bulk customers. Although, not sure how much has changed with them since they were acquired by private equity a couple of years ago.

I do admit that our API needs some love - fortunately we have a lot of major backend updates in the works and a new API will follow at some point. Unrelated but we did roll out a new API (entirely separate from the API you're referring to) for our Auctions platform: https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/12017783/TW6wKUfy. Curious to get your feedback if you're interested in taking it for a spin!
React: The Perils of Rehydration
I'll concede on the hot cache suggestion. Storing the files lexicographically is an interesting thing - it means that grep/find (or anything else that reads through the files/directories in order) would perform well. But this makes the test to some extent contrived to specifically run fast on this particular system.

I do agree that this kind of filesystem mechanism should give good performance benefits. But in the general case they won't be quite as fantastic as these benchmarks make out.
I did the same thing. I was about to start writing some code, and then figured it would be much quicker to just drop it in Excel and write a couple formulas.

> They are a life saving invention, where did we go as a society that this is suddenly up for debate?

So condoms, another life-saving invention, should also be mandated? Should you lose your job if you don't wear your seat belt? (Wearing a seat belt does save others by preventing you from becoming an out-of-control projectile and hitting others.) Should people be prevented from buying unpasteurized milk if they want it? Should smokers be forced to quit with the threat of losing their job or fines or jail time, especially since their smoke affects others?

> Did people forget that we eradicated Polio, Tetanus, Hepatitis etc?

Those are sterilizing vaccines that survived longer scrutiny than the COVID ones, and the COVID ones are not sterilizing.

To be honest, the lies around the COVID vaccines have me now questioning those supposedly safe vaccines.

> Where does this sudden influx of people come from that are opposed to this absolute incredible work of science?

If they are anything like me, they came because of the lies we were told. Once we figured out they were lies, it was a natural thing to question other things.

And the vaccines are not an incredible work of "science." They are an engineering effort. That sounds a lot like Fauci claiming that people who criticize him are criticizing science, as though he defines what science is.

Spoiler alert, he does not.
I don't understand how it's ever an actual problem and not just people being lazy / literally just starting out learning the language. Every Python editor / IDE is capable of, and immediately will, notify you of any formatting issues of the sort. Python also has great, trivial to use autoformatters like black[1] that essentially all production code should use and which ensure that you never, ever have to think about this again.

What realistic scenario is there where it actually makes sense deviating from the standard the language is trying to enforce? And even if you can think of one (I honestly cannot), is now having to write an “end” keyword all over your code really a tradeoff worth making?

Handshake, what's that? Oh, I see... blockchain... "Handshake coin (HNS)"... PoW... the way you're plugging it, I thought it had that kind of smell.
What is going on? The grandparent comment is merely noting the novelty of a filesystem utilizing a recently invented data structure. The parent is weirdly mentioning how they wouldn't trust a research filesystem for real work (who would...?). Now THIS comment is claiming the parent comment is anti-academic and anti-expert when it's actually mainly raising common concerns about the disconnect between theory and practice (then this comment mentions the electricity grid, as if that's of any relevance??). Just a really strange series of disconnects between the arguments.
7th Grader Develops Linus-Proof Ubuntu Linux Gaming App
After reading far too many similar stories to this one, I've always made a fresh backup and completely wiped my phone before walking into the store. Any testing they need to do can be done on a factory default installation, and restoring from backup is relatively painless these days.
I don't think it's strange, they don't have visibility into all teams and interactions.

I interviewed with Stripe around 8 months ago and I think the recruiters are one of the better ones. I do see a deliberate effort to make it a good experience. While prepping, I reached out to friends of friends at Stripe and they were helpful going out of their way to ensure I was prepared. Didn't get the job but they seem like a nice bunch.
To be fair, FAT32 is a production filesystem...
Sure, I was just pointing out that their current rates are cheaper than gandi, especially for renewals. So if someone wants to renew for multiple years it may make sense to switch.
If you don't plan to repair them, wouldn't it make more sense to fully destroy them and dispose of them? I feel like you'd get quite a bit a junk hanging around after a while.
As one of the authors of this project, first off, I appreciate the interest.

For those who are curious, our initial goal is indeed to build a PoC and understand whether the data structures actually deliver the potential performance gains in a realistic implementation that one might expect on paper. I see a long arc from a new idea to a production-quality implementation, and several iterations of increasingly thorough evaluation and hardening.

Our current prototype is not production-ready; this is a long-term goal, but we appreciate how much work this is. More of our focus at the moment is on exploring other ways these algorithmic techniques may be useful in a storage system or how to address current problems---i.e., understanding the best way to design such a system before trying to build a production-quality version. Each of our papers has yielded significant overhauls to the design.

We would also consider it a success if other file systems adopted any ideas from our papers, or a new file system were designed by someone else that adopted these techniques.

The commenters are right that there is a gap between when an idea is exciting new research and fundable via grants versus funding the "maturing" phase of the prototype. I will hasten to say that the NSF has been supportive of maturing this system, for which we are most grateful. Nonetheless, like many projects, we could use more resources, and I would be happy to engage constructive conversations out-of-band about how to address this gap.

"Our results lead to three conclusions: First, built-in commands are effective, but manufacturers sometimes implement them incorrectly. [...]

Do not confuse the ability to use a phone or laptop with technical knowledge. People know how to use apps, but all the technical stuff is abstracted away.

I'm pretty technical (As is nearly everyone on HN), and I have no idea where my photos are stored on my Android's file system. I have no idea where the APKs are for all my installed apps, or where their saved data sits.
The US has a very diversified economy, which certainly limits the damages. There are countries which rely almost entirely on tourism for instance - Spain, Italy, Portugal, Croatia, Greece, they were all severely affected.

I am more pointing towards the millions out there who genuinely believe that Bill Gates is behind covid, that covid doesn't exist, that the vaccines contain microchips or are chemicals that destroy your reproductive capabilities. That substantially lowered my survival expectations as species.
I don’t agree with the intensity of the GP’s claim but the relevant concept is promissory estoppel.
EU draft pulled after Vatican complains Christmas 'canceled'
The SARS-CoV2 vaccine does not provide any meaningful reduction in the spread of the virus. At best it provides a reduction in severity of symptoms for an individual infection. So, your argument that forced injection is justified is null based on vaccine effect alone. Current attempts at coercing employees to vaccinate also do not take into account naturally acquired immunity that is stronger than any vaccine provides.

This week I was in a chat with the REAL support of a crypto currency.

Unable to help me with my problem at first (we eventually figured it out), they felt they hit a dead end and said: "ok, just send us your wallet.dat, we'll fix it".

I know those guy were the real deal. I knew they would not try to steal the money I had on this wallet, because it was so little it was not even worth the time.

Yet, the fact they asked that proves how much support can badly educate their users.

Of course, I didn't send my wallet, and found another solution since I'm tech saavy. But still...
I used to work at a att store. This is common. One particular incident involved a ring of workers at multiple stores who had a shared Dropbox they would upload anything they found to. Any time you hand your phone over to underpaid 20 year old guys you should be erasing everything sensitive
The worst of it is the time spent by the remaining team, interviewing and re-training thanks to the constant churn.
Unless you can verbalise those micro skills you will not get an audience. Knowing the right path is one thing: understanding it enough to simply teach it is another.
Last time I sent a phone into repair, I wiped and reset it, presumably so that techs could test it properly (broken screen and digitizer). I wish I didn’t have to; but when you’re logged into everything, your bank is there too, and your phone is the second factor in a lot of things, damn it’s too much of a risk.

I wish phones could boot into some kind of field tech/diagnostics mode where all aspects of hardware could be tested as thoroughly as needed. Maybe there exists one and I’m just ignorant?
Not much - I made all GraphQL requests GETs and cached them in CloudFront, which has some drawbacks but is pretty effective at keeping costs down because it allows Aurora to scale to zero as long as every request is in cache. The last week has been interesting (60,000 page views) and if things continue at that scale (doubtful) I might be looking at $60/month, mostly in Aurora costs. Most other months of the year had less than 100 page views total, nearly all cached, and it cost under $3 to run for the whole month.
I have the Steam game too, but I'm somehow enjoying the browser version much more. Perhaps because of (seemingly) light-weight nature

Under your profile you can also enable "See dead" which will let you see flagged comments.
Someone else here mentioned that the the reddit comments (now deleted) said that the phone had no passcode on it, so anyone would be able to unlock it.

Something of a misconception here: AWS doesn't use any of their code. They wrote a bolt-on layer above Aurora Postgres that aims to mimic / clone the semantics. It's like running a windows app on Linux via WINE: it sounds cool and then you realize it's going to be a world of pain.

"Ok so this just happened. Buckle up.

About a month ago my wife broke her pixel phone. It couldn't be turned on so we couldn't wipe it.

We contact Google and used the device care to get an RMA.

Today someone posted nude pictures of my wife and I to her social media accounts. They accessed her Google account and tried to lock us out. They used her PayPal to send someone $5 (a test probably).

How could this happen? Well Facebook and Instagram show logins from Texas. The old phone still showed on our find my phone app and it was in Texas. Guess where we sent the phone for RMA? The last ping from the old phone (which was today) was the same as the place we shipped it. The exact location down to the very building. Clearly they fixed the old phone and since it wasn't wiped, was still logged into her Google account.

I called Google and they basically said "woah that's fucked up we'll get back to you". We filed a police report but I don't expect they will do anything.

What are my options here for sueing Google? I know that sounds insane but this breach of trust and privacy is egregious. Hundreds of people have now seen my penis including our friends kids. It's really fucked up.

Any advice on what to do here?"

my big question is whether this phone is password enabled. also this stinks because i know the first comment is "well do a factory reset" but if the phone doesn't turn on, etc. then i don't believe that is possible (short of possibly ADP which is out of the reach of 99% of people)
In my case it took about a week. I had a few phone calls with hiring managers over 2, then requested a follow-up with one manager which took another day or two to set up. Then once I gave the recruiter my preference, she got back to me the next day to let me know that it lined up with a manager who reciprocated
I'm young-ish, but my general observation has been that my peers forget it was our grandparents and great grandparents that invented computers in the first place.

Admittedly, the technological world is nearly impossible to avoid exposure to these days, where it was entirely optional (or downright prohibitive) to be involved with in the past.

So in general, thank you older people for creating them, I have a lot of fun with them.
