I love that FinderSTEP mash-up icon :)
Fixed now. That was a bug in our software - sorry!

Btw, for a Show HN that's a book, the convention is to provide a sample chapter (or something similar) for free. Otherwise there's no way for users to "try it out", which is the necessary condition for a Show HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html.
They tried that with Itanium and we all know how it turned out.
I have yet to finish the last two movies, but I found the first two a lot more interesting if viewed through the idea that they actually continue from EoE (considering Kaworu's words at the end of 2.22)
Except in this case, Mailgun is supposed to have access to this information. This is what they are used for. This sort of email from Mailgun is one of the reason you use them as a service. This comment[1] explains more, but the tl;dr is that the issues the person was emailing about are things they should be emailing about. It's actually more concerning that Evan doesn't understand what he's paying for. If he was really concerned about customer data, none of this would be a surprise.

Not a Java programmer, I still don't really understand how the ability to inject a JNDI lookup to your sever results in an RCE.

OK, an attacker can inject a JNDI lookup, and can control what the JNDI lookup via LDAP returns... I would have thought that whatever it returned would just get inserted as a string into the log output, no big deal. But a remote JNDI lookup can return code that gets executed on the local site somehow? Can anyone explain this?

update this is the best explanation I've found: https://mbechler.github.io/2021/12/10/PSA_Log4Shell_JNDI_Inj...
It frames the question in a way that forces them to make a best-choice rather than endlessly suggesting complications. It's useful because it often works, in practice.
if he/she moves the original coins and proves that he/she is indeed Satoshi via technical competence and social consensus , then between the immense wealth and social status as the creator of Bitcoin their influence on the crypto world will be massive.

You can never decentralize power and wealth because they obey Power's law and also it happens organically and unspectacularly, it's simply a bunch of people agreeing that somebody is cool or what they are saying makes sense.

It snowballs from there and a couple of exponentials later that person is sitting on billions of dollars and a 70M people platform

The randomized version of this algorithm is also fun: repeatedly find an edge that is not yet covered, select one of the two end points at random, and add it to S.

It's a nice exercise to show that the randomized algorithm is also a 2-approximate algorithm, i.e., the size of S is at most twice the size of S_{OPT}, in expectation.

You're probably right; I've removed my original comment as misleading.

I'm embarrassed I failed to parse that quote correctly. (My first parse was "30-days grace period" in the common usage of the phrase, as "before contractual penalty fees apply". Not "before you *die*").
I find this funny because now it’s pretty much just NGE, a deconstruction, and Gurren Lagaan (sp?) that have maintained significant cultural appeal in western audiences imo. As anime has gotten more mainstream, the original mecha shows have not.

Somewhat similar for magical girls in Madoka Magica and Kill la Kill.
Tesla has a mobile app that can remotely turn on the climate controls, lock the car, open/close/crack open the windows, enable sentry mode, show the exact GPS location of your car, and more. In the car, you get GPS that is constantly updated.

And you pay $0/month for any of that.

They DO offer a $10/month "Premium Connectivity" package. That adds music streaming via Slacker Radio, Tidal, and Spotify, enables satellite images for the GPS, and allows video streaming (I don't recall the entire list of supported services, but it's pretty comprehensive, and I know includes Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, and Twitch, might also include Hulu and HBO).

Of course, if you're connected to WiFi (ie, using a hotspot on your phone, or parked at a location with WiFi), you can get all that streaming without paying the $10/month. Even if you don't pay for the premium connectivity package, you can play Spotify from your phone over Bluetooth.

The fact that Toyota would charge $8/month just for remote start is just evil. It's a charge designed purely to extract as much money from their customers as possible that does not at all reflect the actual cost to them.
This is reprehensible. What a horrifying fantasy.

I’m pretty sure getting tased in the middle of nowhere, assumedly a long distance from medical help, could be a death sentence for some people. That considered, the fantasy here would be handing CBP agents the ability to summarily execute brown people for the crime of standing in the wrong place, from the comfort of an air conditioned office!

I would not work with or invest in anybody that ever entertained such a downright evil concept.

That is where I disagree, when you buy a pair of shoes that are somehow uncomfortable to wear, do you live with the pain or go to the shop to exchange them?

Exactly that is what we are missing in the software industry, the niche cases of high integrity computing should be a common practice, just like most people usually don't put up with broken stuff when given the option.

Noticed there is a "Better with Firefox or Safari" message on the site. I'm a little saddened to see this just as I would be to see a "Better with Chrome" or the old "Better with Internet Explorer".
Absolutely, I have quite a few I'd recommend. If you tell me more about your background and what you're looking for, I can refine my recommendations further.

Either way, the first thing you have to know is that it's a huge huge field, and you won't find any single book that introduces you well to every subtopic (it's just impossible), and the amount of background/support knowledge you need in order to be able to fully and critically appreciate even basic research papers is pretty enormous.

SAC and 1995 movie effectively base on different chapters of the first manga volume (all of them avoiding certain bits though, like Major's "on the side" enterprise), and the character design used in both matches the source material - just different scenes (SAC arguably follows the design more closely)

EDIT: to make it clearer, Major's clothing choices in Manga were definitely her own and it didn't feel like it's just random cheap sexualization, but then you have to consider that some of the off-the-books income streams Major had were censored from some releases, and she definitely knew how to play off people's looks at her (explicitly called out in GitS 2.0 manga)

>What if there are none?

The problem is that "There are no bugs" approaches an unproveable statement as a codebase grows into even a modest size. It doesn't matter if you're a 10x developer or not, you aren't always going to immediately see all the implications and edge cases of a few hundred++ (at least) moving pieces the first time around with new code, and each additional piece adds a non-linear amount of complexity.

That doesn't mean you never roll your own version of something, it just means that you should either be very very good or have a lot of experience (or both) when making that decision for anything that's non-trivial. (And deciding what is/isn't trivial is its own decision too)
CISA warns 'most serious' Log4j vulnerability likely to affect 100s of millions
Well, implementing basic UI functionality even is hard enough with all the changing environments, screen sizes, rotations, touch interfaces and what have you. Making it as simple as possible makes it possible to focus in making those work in a more functional and usable manner.

While it is true that CPU and GPU powers have increased, also the ways we use our machines have changed, people might have wildly different environments that the same UI needs to work on these days.

Scalable UI alone can become a nightmare if you have anything more complex going on. Even the big players have a hard time figuring out proper usability, like look at Apple or Microsoft constantly making a hurdle to iterate on their designs, making mistakes along different releases.

Building usable UI is freaking hard and requires a lot of user feedback, iteration and focusing on details that you don't know before starting to build the product. Changing even one thing can lead to another thing breakin, and so on..

Show HN: Use formulas to power dynamic alerting and actions
I defer to your domain expertise there, don't know much about the food industry and supply chain. Sounds like there are some monopolistic players & regulatory capture involved.

I don't think ZKP or blockchains are going to save you though. Say Cardano actually gets past their "Byron" ICO pump-and-dump phase and implements smart contracts, or Polkadot gets off the ground.

OK, so we have a fast, non-world-destroying blockchain computing platform and can freely write programs to exchange PolkaDots or Adas or whatever. So what? Now anyone and their brother can set up a futures exchange via smart contracts, and we can all trade PolkaDots for corn futures. Whose brother's exchange do we use? If a de-facto standard one arises, who enforces quality and resolves disputes if the produce isn't up to snuff? Blockchains tend to be immutable no-refund situations, and discourage the use of "oracles" from outside for human factors like the corn being moldy. Who regulates the exchange to prevent abuses on both sides? And couldn't MonopoliCorp still use its connections and infrastructure and reach to corner the market? You still need trucks, refrigeration, deals with grocery purchasers, etc. That's the actual important substance of the whole enterprise, not the system coordinating it. Couldn't you do all this on a non-blockchain computing platform, say with digital signatures, if you just got people to agree on one?

Not to mention the questionably-solvable problems of massive volatility in PolkaDots, unforseen smart contract bugs enabling and encouraging theft opportunities, constant hack attempts, potential that the whole platform could collapse if the currency collapses and nobody cares to stake it anymore.

> I mean if the heater is remote started then why wouldn't the engine be. It's just the 2nd step of the heating process.

Ok, that just registered in my brain. If it is a feature where people need to warm their cars before the cars even work, then it is pretty shitty to start charging a subscription fee for it. And if it is incremental, then I see your point. Can I still hate on touchscreens and lack of knobs, tho? :)
Yes, but there’s a difference between a consumer app and an SDK for developers. Changing the default this drastically is a breaking change.
I think it was editorialized because the document link and the document title do not convey the intent of the material.

It is a common opinion in this thread that it is unethical to charge for enabling a feature that only needs the local communication between a key fob and a car. And that it is fine if there is a cloud in-between, such as remote start from a smartphone, because it has maintenance costs.

If majority of the car buyers agree with this distinction, it would simply create an incentive to route more communication through the cloud. Besides, this option makes tracking and control easier.

I would argue that the maintaining a server does not have a substantial difference that singles it out from the other work that a car maker does to support the car owners: downloads of manuals, managing recalls, parts inventory, etc. Subscription business model has no place here.

In urban planning there's the 'law of induced demand' that has parallels to this and shows the paradoxical nature. When a road starts to see congestion, the reaction in the past has been to add lanes, widen the road, and/or increase the speed limit to get more cars through faster. This has its intended effect in the short term, but makes the road more attractive to drivers. More drivers start using the particular road, exceeding the planned capacity and in the average case causing worst congestion than existed before.
I fully support watching the last two movies. Just the recap movies lose so much character compared to the original.
yup this is very similar to what I ended up with:

-- open Chrome Canary with a specific named Profile
function canaryWithProfile(profile, url)
local t = hs.task.new("/Applications/Google Chrome Canary.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome Canary",
nil,
function() return false end,
{ "--profile-directory=" .. profile, url })
t:start()
end

-- open Chrome with a specific named Profile
function chromeWithProfile(profile, url)
local t = hs.task.new("/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome",
nil,
function() return false end,
{ "--profile-directory=" .. profile, url })
t:start()
end
This looks really nice! As a developer who is plenty familiar with other frameworks but not so much Rails, I think it would be nice to have a page/appendix/etc. with some additional info on what all this setup script does.

I totally get that this is aimed toward mostly people without much programming experience, but perhaps it would also be useful to people who are simply new to rails :)

These are two disparate applications of spiking networks. 1. Machine learning—yes, many in the field seem to be trying to reinvent ANNs with spikes. Not very useful in my opinion. 2. Modeling biological processes. A lot of progress has been made in neuroscience research thanks to spiking network models, coupled with dendritic computation and all other sorts of biological detail. But one would not normally use neuromorphic hardware if the end goal is biological realism.

Only if biological realism is required in real time and on a constrained power budget, such as on a robot, is Neuromorphic hardware the weapon of choice.
Objective-C moved on, nowadays is it more 2.x than 2.0, and those small changes are not there as far as I am aware.
Usually the term "technocrat" refers to an appointed official rather than a directly elected official, even if they're very technically knowledgeable.

For instance, Jimmy Carter would widely be considered a "politician" since he was directly elected, but someone like Janet Yellen could be considered a technocrat since she was appointed as Secretary of the Treasury due to her technical experience.

Well, thats a narrative that has no cheerleaders.

All evil is either imposed by a outside and completely repairable, once that evil is removed.

Or all evil is eternal, unfixable and the best thing one can do is to give in.

Nobody seems to be willing to reverse engineer human brain architecture, to find reachable local optimas and best outcomes with a given, minimally changeable species. I guess it lacks the flair.
