The Prop 65 warnings apply to basically everything, so it's difficult to avoid them. That doesn't mean that the warning is bad, just that the threshold is too low.

Giving radiation warnings at the level of a banana would be useless. Does that mean we shouldn't use Geiger counters?

With languages that output a single binary by default such as Rust and Go, we would have been screwed. No way to scan, no way to self-help update.

ELF binaries are just collections of another sort. You can scan for symbol names or assembled instructions common to a dependency, and you might be able to update with an LD_PRELOAD library that patches the symbol table.

Just look at what game modders have accomplished without access to source code.

Your lead was an immature ars$ who saw the PR review as a way to exercise power. I'm quite sure that there was very little actual value in his pedantic bs but probably he sold that to his manager as "QA gatekeeping" or something equally well sounded. In reality all he's doing is slowing everything down, wrecking morale and piss around to mark his territory like a primate.
It also speaks volumes about the company - not a place I'd like to be and probably not a place producing too much value.
You’re doing a lot of projecting. No one here is pointing at fat people and saying “fix yourself”. I outlined the external factors. The high availability of those foods alone is a major problem. Marketing normalizes it. And economics frames it as a necessity. That system is broken. And we are the casualties of that broken system.

Very bizarre watching people scratch their heads as if the cause of elevated hunger is a mystery. Eat a steak and watch your hunger disappear. I ate a cookie this morning and now I want six more. Again, none of this is a mystery. The food is performing exactly as its creator intended. Are their individuals who are extremely hungry outliers? Of course. Is 40% of the American population outliers? No.

I was overweight in childhood and still experience unwieldy hunger to this day. I am very aware that my hunger is not the same as someone else’s. My saving grace has been a decade of resistance training plus periods of intermittent fasting. In fact, the IF is pretty much the only method I’ve found that controls my hunger and shapes my behavioral patterns for the better. Otherwise I would certainly take full advantage of our empty-calorie-saturated environment. That’s my story and at no point am I suggesting that every individual has the means or will to do what I do. But what you’re suggesting is we ought not to discuss the core nature of the disease, but rather search for clandestine solutions in a pill, less someone infer that conversation as a personal attack.

You're literally commenting on a thread about how the SAT is being removed from criteria and your whole point is that the intangibles (you used a bunch of ambiguous words like diligence and etc and I explicitly pointed that out).
So have you lost the thread of the conversation?

I do not understand what you're saying. On the one hand not being diligent and having good attendance should preclude students but lack of "confidence" shouldn't?
Tell HN: AWS warns us about irregular activity related to Log4shell
We received a few emails from AWS about irregular activity related to Log4shell. I asked a few friends, and they got similar messages as well.

AWS provided a list of EC2 instances where they saw DNS queries which are typically used when targeting the log4j vulnerability, but they did not provide further information.

Have you received similar notification? What have you done about suspicious instances?

The ironic part is that AWS did that on Friday while half of the internet was making memes about the fact that the Log4j vulnerability was disclosed on Friday.
You probably need NSFW text which is its own niche and should be straight forward to collect?

Chemical weapons were banned because they weren't very effective on the battlefield and generated horrible PR for all involved, so it was an easy win for everyone to ban them.

The problem with autonomous weapon platforms (probably swarms) is that it looks like they're very powerful weapons that give their users advantages over existing capabilities. Enforcing a ban on them will be like enforcing a ban on gunpowder with swords and castles.
I was going to up-vote because I work with Rust and am invested in it professionally, but I didn't because the title is click-bait and article unsubstantial.
I'm still looking over this to see its capabilities, but if reading this right, we can turn any mp3/wav into a set of midis, which allows us to import into music editing software (like Finale). If this works, this is huge. Congrats to the team.
Stay away from consulting/building custom software - you might have to do it in the beginning to get funds, but aim to be a product company as soon as possible (saying so because you said software development company vs. software company.)

If you’re focused on being a development shop then your concern is how to get clients - nothing else matters more.
>I would say a step further: instruction manuals are inundated with worthless warnings, and there is no sense to the user which are real threats...

This is not the case. Neither in general, nor, in particular, in the case of Bose QC-35 II headphones.

The worst danger the manual explicitly wans about is the potential of "warming sensation"[1], in which case the user is to take the headphones off. Nothing about an imminent fire hazard, or potential chemical burns.

Compare this to the labels on, say, two-part epoxy glue about the potential hazards, and what to do.

Finally, there are only three possible scenarios:

* Including this information in the manual and packaging will scare away people from buying this product because they are uninformed

* Including this information in the manual and packaging is pointless, because people don't care

* Including this information in the manual and packaging will allow people to make informed choices

Arguably, it should be include in either case:

- If people become scared, the manufacturers will be pushed to innovate on safety, which is a great outcome;

- If "nobody" reads these warnings, there is no reason to add one more about an actual danger that does happen, if rarely;

- Correct product labeling is what makes a free market work.

I urge you to peruse the Bose QC-35 II manual[1] before responding, and come back with the scariest warning you find there. It is a counter-example to all of your claims.

I strongly recommend this approach, it's exactly how I got myself back into reading. I started back by just picking up a super light read, then some fun novels from a couple authors I liked from back when I used to read a lot, and now I'm starting to branch out more again.

Like so many others in this thread I had completely stopped reading in favor of quick bites on the internet. One thing I've been surprised to notice with reading again is how deep the experience can be compared to an online article, even for a pretty light book.

So yeah, for anyone who misses books but is having trouble getting back to them, try picking up the first thing that looks fun, even of it's silly or easy compared to your favorite books in the past.

Need I remind you of the Log4J debacle? It's definitely a big deal.

Whether this is the right approach is another matter.

Wars generally have a deleterious effect to the life expectancy of the civilian population, even more so in the modern era of mechanized warfare where attacking civilian targets at scale is both practical and practiced (usually not by countries that respect the Geneva conventions, but (a) one cannot guarantee that their opponent will be one of those countries and (b) even those countries have been known to set aside parts of those conventions when they perceive either existential threat or expedience).

No, I don't find it likely at all that most people I know live through a hot war on home soil.

They can do their primary directive to act as public centralized vcs repositories.

The proposition here is that the IDE provides dev process tooling so you are in fact collaborating with your team, e.g. reviewing your code, but Github (Microsoft) and other centralized services are not necessary and not included in the activity. And yes, if AWS etc goes down, your IDEs will continue to work and you can continue to collaborate.
Is it? That's still wedded to cause and effect, it just moves the frame of reference outside the looped universe to ask what sustains it or why it exists.
So instead of hacking servers to mine crypto, we hack them to send paid spam and possibly collect the delivery fees too for some double dipping.

I had this same idea as you, and I simply don’t see why people would pay to send emails when they’re already nearly free for most personal use cases. Businesses already pay to send email via third parties usually. Wouldn’t fake email signups get spammed to receive the sending fees from compromised email servers?

I could foresee a sending fee in the form of attention, with captchas for email sending, possibly attached to the outgoing email as metadata.
Maybe built into/epoxied to the inside-facing-side of crankset arms? Such that it looks like an expensive power meter crank. Definitely within the realm of possibility and I have heard that people have successfully done it as a DIY approach.
Not sure how technically accurate it is, but "language" usually implies more than just the syntax. I hear and say things like "compiled language", "interpreted language", "language VM", "garbage collected language", "dynamically typed language" and so on. Those things all say something about development speed and runtime speed.

I don't really understand this perspective, I remember using Smalltalk VisualWorks back in 2005 and it didn't even have syntax highlighting. I'm unclear why an IDE is more needed than another language. If anything java and c++ are way more IDE dependent because it's hard to know what parameters mean by their position, whereas in smalltalk they're named.
"They could also have made better guesses about whether the sites they were emailing would be bound by the law, and targeted the emails better."

They made no guesses - they randomly selected sites from rankings of top websites (specifically, from an common academic time-smoothed aggregation of Alexa and some of its competitors).

From the study website (https://privacystudy.cs.princeton.edu/): "The set of websites for this study is sampled from the Tranco list of popular websites and publicly available datasets of third-party tracking websites."

But the reason why higher enforcement doesn't exist is because nobody is trustworthy enough for it. American domination has been relatively good for the West, but citizens of many countries have immensely suffered as a result. Going back further it was European dominance that everyone else suffered under.

Multilateral enforcement becomes yet another tool to take advantage of others that aren't invited.
> Does it?

I am pretty sure it does. Doesn't it even say "Why is this message in spam: Because similar messages have been marked as spam before"? (Don't recall the exact wording). I hardly get any false negatives, so I don't mark much as spam. but I get regularly false positives and I mark them as "not spam". Still the behavior does not seem to improve. So I assume others marking newsletters and marketing as spam will also affect how the spam filter works for me.
Exactly. These are the live stations being dropped:

ABC
ABC News Live
Disney Channel
Disney Junior
Disney XD
ESPN
ESPN2
ESPNU
ESPNEWS
Freeform
FX
FXX
FXM
National Geographic
National Geographic Wild
SEC Network

Of those, the Disney bundle would only cover the sports channels on ESPN+ (I'm assuming it has all the cames broadcast on the channels.)

Edit: according to other comments ESPN+ doesn't even cover all the sports on the ESPN2 and ESPN3 channels.
Scraping services on their own are a viable business product, but the power to assign metadata and contextualization is where the unicorn lies.

The service itself will always be in flux because of how freeform hypertext is as a schema. So many other comments here reflect that better than I could.

The fact is that any chunk of data you're handing over to clients still needs to be handled by their team and in my experience reality often falls short of expectations. If you can somehow deliver them something cleaner (or even something that can help them reach conclusions faster), then you have a product with a high value prop.
Will this follow the 80/20 rule?
(Another way to understand this, from the perspective of the company, is that it's often advantageous to have an excess of trained labor in stock. Not saying that's true in OP's case, necessarily, but having a "back bench" is definitely something some engineering orgs intentionally plan for.)
I agree; of course, both clang and gcc extend C++ with __restrict__ if I remember correctly; from what I know, there are more things that can be done in C++ to improve over C than the other way around.
Google also plays nice. I manage a few sites that get hammered by scrapers to the extent that it causes big spikes in CPU, something that doesn't happen with G.
There is no such thing as "sue-happy American consumer".

There is, however, an American consumer whose only way to get their medical bills paid in case they are hurt by negligence or harmful actions of a corporate entity, is to sue that corporation.

Lack of regulation is justified by the possibility of taking the offending party to court. Stop shaming people who are doing just that.

Back when I still had Spectrum, I was happy to find out the way those checks are implemented in the Android app was (thankfully) as poorly done as the user experience.

The feelings of boredom and depression are normal. Because your culture and society imposed to-do list - like earn lots of money, work for a prestigious company are no longer relevant.

Companies that make billions base their operations and products on free open source code. Free as in free beer. Then they complain about them not being...perfect.

OTO, people write software for free and licence it in a way that allows above companies to use it without giving them a single penny. And then they complain about not getting a penny whilst somebody else makes billions.

This whole thing is just incomprehensible to me.

Guess I'll just run with this:
Since this article was published, here's what has transpired

My inbox became:

a) various cyclists in Mexico giving me more info
b) new victims who have read the article, identifying their stolen bikes in this guy's sales that we posted, including commercial shop robberies
c) people sending copies of his "official message" to his clients he posted, in which he denies the claims we make and essentially calls us liars, etc and asks for his customers support

After that, Mexican Cycling FB picked it up. FWIW Mex cycling folks are awesome, we had some really good input and comms with folks in that community.

For about 24 hours the store would remove any negative comments from their page from cyclists and/or customers, far as we could tell, and all his customers were chiming in how much of a great shop he was with great deals and great service. Nobody would address the proof we posted of stolen in his sales.

As of an hour ago (?) or so the guys page is now gone.
