This is what I do for a variety of different things:

- $CORP devices are on a VLAN + Wifi that has access to the internet, but no other internal networks
- Internal network for file servers/printers and the like
- Personal device network, think laptops/phones/tablets that are mine, can reach internal network
- IoT network - Think sensors/robot vacuums/"smart devices"
- Guest network, for well visitors to my home
- AirPlay network, has all my Apple devices on it to allow for music to be airplay'ed to TV's/HomePods, can be reached from internal/personal/guest network

Now I also understand that I am outlier, I am running a fully segmented, firewall, traffic inspected/logged home network with small business or even large business network gear, with FreeBSD as the router/firewall with a managed switch/WAP platform from TP-Link.

This is not something the average home user or consultant is going to setup/configure/manage and I don't expect it either.

The worry that the $CORP device will be abused to "validate the security of the network its connected to" is very much a possibility. Most corporations have no desire to do so, and endpoint protection is their primary goal, and they don't need to scan your home network to do so, it is all local to the device. It's about protecting the integrity of the device, not the rest of the network around it.
> Many mechanical and electrical parts of the car have been designed by licensed professionals, why not the software?

Maybe some companies have some internal requirement for that, but generally speaking that's not true. Legal requirements for review and approval by a PE only apply to building drawings.

Heh, I have been working for a some corporations in the last 10 years where there was a sort of kickback scheme in place.

Some times (very rarely a person got caught, no criminal charges) some timed it was known and nobody cared.

Some of my friend chose not to become managers because they did not want to get involved in the scheme.
I think that's what a vote of all citizens in a certain country can decide. Different countries/cultures have different opinions for sure.
I work in political communications, so I'll throw a few US resources here. Unfortunately, because the media IS unreliable, doing this requires going to primary sources and a lot of time as well as a very defined idea of what you care about. There's nowhere that will bundle up the 'most important' things for you, but if you're willing to drink from the firehose:

- https://www.govtrack.us/

- Your local and state websites (if they don't suck, this is highly variable). Some allow for things like RSS feeds of bill updates if you'd like to track certain things

- https://ballotpedia.org/ is an encyclopedia that, while slow on the news side, had a lot of structural supporting information so you can look up things like how ballot measures work. So good for fact checking basic government facts.

- https://www.congress.gov/ - The LoC also collects and archives data on Congressional actions

- https://www.senate.gov/legislative/HowTo/how_to_votes.htm and the Congressional Register

- Wire services and things like AP + Reuters are good triggers/trip wires to go check on your own. So they tell you about a story, and you don't read their version, you just go look up whatever it is on one of the sources above.

That's what I end up doing, and it's time-consuming and janky. I hate it, but I've also been a professional fact-checker and do so occasionally on news articles and I am not pleased with what I find, so.
What is the duration of a "natural life"? For someone with a disability? For someone born with an autoimmune disease? For anyone except the young and fit?

Show HN: A labelling tool to easily extract and label Wikipedia data
Hi HN! I am Maria, solo founder of DataQA (https://dataqa.ai/), a tool to search and label documents for various NLP tasks (e.g. entity extraction, entity linking, etc).

I have worked as a data scientist and ML engineer for the better part of a decade, and over that time have specialised mainly in applications involving natural language processing (NLP). One of the key questions I have always had at the back of my mind is whether my time was well spent. Whenever I spent more time on feature engineering or trying different models, I always wondered whether I would get better return on investment by simply labelling more data. I have created DataQA to enhance exploration & labelling of documents. It is open-source and ships with the elasticsearch text search engine which I have packaged as a python package (might be topic of a future technical post), as well as a rules-based engine to do pre-labelling of documents using NLP rules. It is very easy to install with a single pip command.

One of the key things I wanted to add to DataQA is an integration to Wikipedia. Even though wikipedia is the largest living repository of human knowledge in the world, I still always found it difficult to process it and create structured datasets for my specific applications. Since wiki pages are long-form articles, it is important to divide the text into smaller text chunks. A lot of the interesting data is also sometimes displayed in tables. With DataQA you can now upload a list of wikipedia page urls and the tool will extract the articles, process them and even parse the tables, so you can then label any entities you want. You can find a tutorial here: https://towardsdatascience.com/a-labelling-tool-to-easily-ex....

The open-source version of DataQA currently only supports csv, but I have an enterprise version with premium features such as labelling of pdfs (with understanding of tables). If you're interested in a free trial, please contact me at contact@dataqa.ai :-).
what I don't understand is none of the companies that bribed him had criminal charges levied against them. doesn't this reek of companies doing bad ok, smash the ants?
This sounds good on the surface but then you are still giving in to unnecessary surveillance during your workday.

I would want a big compensation increase to deal with this. Like on the order of 2x my rate.
True, but at those levels the marginal utility of money is much lower than 30 months of your life. Clearly some people take the chance, I wouldn't.

Apple really has no business getting in the way of this - it would just hurt them on a general purpose computing platform like Macs are.

It's quite likely this isn't specifically for Asahi Linux. Some BSDs are also working on booting on this, which might permit Apple some flexibility in future products using Apple Silicon (Apple's Time Capsules, say, have apparently run NetBSD as opposed to an iOS derivative).

Apple would also likely be welcoming to Windows for Arm running natively on macOS. While Apple wouldn't probably be justified in coughing up the costs for writing complicated drivers - notably graphics drivers - to make Windows run on it, they have incentives to make someone else doing that as easy as possible. Macs running Windows just sells them some percentage more Macs. As does Macs running Linux/BSD most likely, but that percentage is smaller.
Tax cuts are perhaps a bit questionable, giving them trillions by not taking away the money they earned?
I will state this isn’t normal for large enterprises, at least at that scale. Most software vendors are happy to invite buyers to Warriors games, which is a lot cheaper than the 0.25% dilution. I’ve even seen folks recuse themselves from recommending prior employers because they still had shares.

I think the problem lands somewhere between “widespread corruption” and “never.”

Salespeople can hit their quotas without kickbacks.

What I do see from time to time is this happening “fully disclosed”’at the very senior level. A CEO of a major database company convinces the board to buy a firm that he has an interest in. A CEO “allows” a company to rent out his property for corporate housing. These are fully disclosed, and therefore considered acceptable.
3rd parties are actually subject to stricter spending rules: https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/sites/default/files/p...

(30K GBP is an average, since consitutencies in the UK have variations in population size. Constituencies do not get regularly recalculated unlike Congress redistricting every decade.)
> So we'll effectively be "re-inoculated" against whatever variant we are exposed to.

You'll be re-inoculated if you have an immune reaction, which has a chance of getting sick...and it isn't a given that you'll live to take advantage of the inoculation.

> So long-term the need for a booster may wane, the exception being for highly-infectious variants that pose a threat to an already-immunized and exposed population.

It is just like the flu, but a bit worse. Yes, you might be able to survive getting it every year until you get old or develop co-morbidities. But getting a yearly booster is probably a smarter choice (for the flu and COVID).
This is not an uncommon practice in the Silicon Valley. Startup wants to business with Big Co., invites Big Co.'s decision maker (VP Marketing, CIO, CTO, CFO) to join the "board of advisors". Then startups pays for expenses, travel and grant "stock options" to Big Co. senior manager.

Understand that ANY product has a "side" price tag, paid by granting options or "payment for expenses" to the senior individual.
Another way to look at that. Ask ANY member of your board of advisors to disclose ANY conflict of interest.

If StartUp sells product/services/SaaS to BigCo. then BigCo. "advisor" should disclose ANY payment, direct or indirect, travel or non-travel, and ANY stock options.

This is what had to be done with the large drug companies, forcing them to disclose payments to providers/medical doctors who had the authority to buy drugs. Full disclosure + penalties for lack of disclosure ---> that was the end for the drug sales rep who were doling "educational conference tickets, all expenses paid for you and your spouse, ALL expenses paid, and of course compensation for your time". Of course said conference had to happen in Tahiti, San Francisco, Seychelles, etc...
I also really like them but I fear that they are a bit magical, i.e. they solve a problem in a way that feels very simple but might end up blowing up in complexity once you look at them from a certain angle. Like when debugging certain state issues. They are very nice until they break in unexpected ways.
> The use of the word "illegal" seems problematic if this is a contractual dispute over (GPL) license terms

No, it's not.

> No one seems to be claiming that TikTok actually committed a criminal act

“Criminal” is not the same as “illegal”, the latter includes any violation of law whether or not it is criminal.
Yeah, she may not have wanted them to choose a big name university, and yet they did. I don't see any hypocrisy here- her daughters have their own choice (If I were her daughters, you better bet I'd choose whatever lets me leverage my parents' connections). My parents didn't want me to apply to Texas A&M, and yet I did anyway, and got accepted (didn't go because of lack of financial aid). That wouldn't have made my parents into hypocrites if I did go, however.
> The point is that with a powerful Effects system, devs calling the logger would have to account for the network call in their own code. Someone might have wondered why that was needed and gotten this addressed before it was ever widespread.

No one would have wondered anything - it's a networked logger, with network functionality.
You might indeed, but you'd have to go out of your way. Whereas with Python I write those bugs as easily as I breathe. Maybe I'm just a bad programmer; static types are definitely good for those like me. If that's not a practical, non-ivory tower reason to prefer Haskell, I don't know what is!
I could imagine a declarative style language like Prolog could fit this.
> But to throw someone in jail for breaking essentially a corporate policy seems really off.

It "seems off" because that obviously isn't what happened.

> Jury Earlier Returned 28 Guilty Verdicts Convicting Michael Kail of Fraud and Money Laundering for Pay-To-Play Payments from Tech Startups Seeking Netflix Contracts

These are crimes, not mere violations of corporate policy.
I very much agree with this. I don't think that this is the solution for most home users/consultants working from home.

The more obvious solution would be to get a separate WiFi router and internet connection strictly for work purposes.

At that point you could also consider it a 100% home office expense and it may be tax deductible (talk to your accountant).
If what you're saying were true, it would mean that manufacturing guns and/or ammunition for anything other than personal use could be made illegal without running afoul of the 2nd Amendment. Which is absurd.
> Why would they when they have most Swedish political parties in their pocket? And that's in one of the world's least corrupt countries.

Political parties in your pocket literally defines political corruption.
What does you calling somebody a troll just because you can not grasp their argument add to the discussion?
nice :)

You know about "false friends" in Italian and Spanish: you can easily think to words means the same, while they do not, example:

* spanish: aceite, sounds like italian:aceto but in italian it's:olio while the italian for aceite is: vinagre

* another: largo largo lungo ancho

* ... https://plida.it/documenti/spagnolo.pdf

for this reason I think Spanish is tricking you a bit while you may think it is helping: it happens to me with Italian/Portuguese/Spanish

My advice is:

* the golden rule: find an Italian girlfriend/boyfriend :) :) best if they cannot speak English (pretty easy in Italy, must say) and spanish.

* forget about translating, practice a lot by spending as much time as possible talking with Italians: I know it is pretty hard now due to Covid, but just ask them to talk about politics... and you'll have hours of conversation

* arrive to the point you talk Italian in your dreams (much easier then you may think, esp. if you respect the above two rules :)

* forget about mobile phone/app, have a paper notebook and write new words/sentences: ask your friend to tell you new works every day. (well, I also record sentence, too, but then I do not listen much I must say)

* many says it does not work, but for me it does: movies! so movies in Italian: choose a masterpiece and watch it many many times: Fellini's Amarcord, La Dolce Vita, even 8 1/2 if you skip the intellectual/Movie-criticts talks... or even some very light ones like Fantozzi.

If, due to codiv, you cannot meet people, pay somebody for skype calls: many great people, esp. in the South, have no jobs but have huge culture and passion for teaching, so just pay per hour for their help and guidance; you may post a request in https://dantealighieri.net/forum (not used that much, but a lot of Italian teachers for foreigner are still reaching notifications from it).

Keep in mind that if you are in an average big town, in the centre north, you can join for free or about 30€ per semester (yes!) Italian school classrooms for foreigners: my experience is that teachers there a lovely: very passionate and curious, really very helful and committed.

http://www.venetoimmigrazione.it/it/imparare-italiano?p_p_id...

I am sure you are like me, not much interested in football, because if you are then that could help.

all the best: be nice with Italians, but be also strong on your ideas and have no fear to say what you think to let them wake up :) remember, as in many other countries, they are allowed to talk bad about their country, but foreigners cannot ahhaahah

ciao!
If academics were skilled at finance, they wouldn't choose to remain academics.
Great explanation, that makes total sense.

Thanks for giving the insight.
Not really; both the private key (scalar) and public key (point) are encoded as 32 bytes. However, some implementations concatenate the two and refer to that 64-byte array as the "private key" -- this is simply an optimization so that the pubkey doesn't need to be re-derived each time you want to compute a signature.
As long as Google is willing to serve binaries, encryption solves this.
People aren't denying progress, they're denying the idea that inflation should treat that progress as a decrease in prices.
Indeed. A classic one is dealing with oauth2…

If you want to further humble yourself, look at all those brilliant exploits malware writers discovered and used.

That said, I accept that I'm a nobody in this world, and I leave nothing important in the world. I still want to improve myself but I don't have high hopes if I look at the number of uncompleted projects along the way.
Surely, Windows 95 was the pinnacle. ;)

> every single crypto project

But it's not a specific crypto project. It is a paradigm within which various different services are being built. Comparing "web3" (whatever it's supposed to mean) with Juicero or even with Google, for that matter, makes no sense. You could compare "web3" with "software as a service", I suppose. Or with "containerization", or "devops".

(Although my original point wasn't about predicting internet-like success for web3; but just saying that the criticism based on the number of grannies using a certain new technology, or the number of people it is lifting out of poverty at any given moment, is misguided; we are still at a very early adoption stage, which may or may not go anywhere.)
a right implies it would be enforceable in some way.

housing should be a human right imho. sadly, it's not a right in the US and it's gotten worse with every decade i've been alive.

it's an obscenely expensive commodity out of reach by many, even working people, and those who find themselves not 100% covered by their US health insurance who go broke.

non-profits and government subsidizing housing help a miniscule amount of people.

i'd love to pack up and leave the US and move to northern europe or switzerland but it's easier said than done especially when you have no family and friends there. i've tried moving away twice. it became too lonely and in one case too much driving required.

any friends and family group in northern europe or switzerland want to "adopt" me into their social group? i'm financially independent and but it takes more than that to pack up and move. :)
That's excessive for the oddly specific group of users who are ironically going to YouTube for math help.
There are multiple points of friction in this scenario. Their asking you to install spyware is friction for you, your asking them to buy a laptop is friction for them.
> You would immediately see that a function which was only ever meant to do context lookups also has network access.

I still don't see how that would help - this logging library was SUPPOSED to have network access. Would a user pause to wonder what the network access is for when it's literally part of the featurelist?
"You must report all gifts from entities seeking to sell products or services to the company" seems pretty unambiguous.
> Nurses and PAs can be done in as little as two years with the current system, and people can be trained to handle just COVID patients much faster.

Nursing programs were already at capacity before COVID started, and doing a 2 year program is preconditioned on previous education (a 2 year AS degree in my state).

> The problems are easily tractable, it's just poor leadership.

Said by every arm chair general ever.
I used 12 months in a year and went up to 20 months, too tired to realize that they were talking about 2.5 years instead of 1.5. Original comment edited, my mistake, let's all go back to sleep now.
Maybe instead of creating a police state to "remove people forever", we should make sure people don't become homeless drug addicts in the first place?

The US has a dearth of psychiatric beds available, with 14 beds per 100k population. The EU for comparison has 69. Experts say you need at least 50. [0] [1].

You have all these people that need help, but have no way of getting it. Add to that the rampant inequality and the high cost of housing and it's no surprise things got this bad.

We need to fix the systemic issues, not just lock up some poor souls that were failed by the system.

I use serverless messaging services extensively (AWS SQS, GCP Pub/Sub etc.) and these are very robust and easy to use solutions. They are also not very expensive. Coupled with Lambda or GCF, it takes away a lot of pain. Of course there are downsides. It's about what tradeoffs are feasible.
Yeah, I stopped using Python regularly in about 2015, but even then I never had any significant problems with pip + virtualenv and I always was a bit mystified by everyone’s complaints about “Python package management”.
Not complying with an open source license can be enforced as copyright infringement rather than a contractual dispute.
You'd still need the router to tag/untag those VLAN's and allow traffic to flow. So if the router does VLAN tagging but just routes between the different network segments you haven't fixed anything.

You'd also need a firewall, and to configure it correctly.
What I'm trying to find out is what happened to the 250,000 CDs. They were put in storage unit. What happened to the storage unit when the company was liquidated? Did anyone even remember the CDs were there? Did someone bid on the unpaid storage unit and come across the biggest cache of music ever seen?
I have come to believe that people don't want it as much as they are just generally susceptible to it. The "news" has figured out how to become a supernormal stimulus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernormal_stimulus
In all the enterprise companies I worked for we are drilled with required learning and assessments which often include training on software licenses. The aim of these training is devs to keep an eye for license and defer to someone higher up if in doubt. These processes are manual and catch only so much.

In companies with mature software processes there is always tooling that will block a release if it finds unacceptable license. To me it looks like TikTok hasn't properly invested in tooling and this somehow slipped.
Velocity is also highly valuable because if you can get your code in front of users worldwide rapidly, you can more quickly “page out” that code and move on to the next work unburdened. Once you know your code is released fully and working, the cognitive overhead is greatly reduced because multitasking is reduced.

The tradeoff is that if you are pushing your code worldwide in an hour and you shipped a critical bug, your high velocity also creates outsized negative impact.
The web even when is not perfect, definitely works for >the lives of everyday people
More to the point, virtually every senior member of Presidential administrations do this almost blatantly, big-D or big-R, doesn't matter.
