Been happening at t-mobile since like 2004

> Hollywood’s hacker war began on February 19, 2004 with a simple phone call. It happened at a T-Mobile store near Los Angeles. The caller told the salesperson he was from the T-Mobile headquarters in Washington. “We heard you’ve been having problems with your customer account tools?” The caller said. “No, we haven’t had any problems really,” the clerk replied, “just a couple slowdowns. That’s about it.”

> “Yes, that’s what is described here in the report,” the caller replied. “We’re going to have to look into this for a quick second.”

> “All right, what do you need?” Then he dutifully gave the caller the company’s internal web site for managing customer accounts —

One of the maintainers here -- it should work on Broadwell if you're not super keen on the tens-of-nanoseconds timing precision and are okay with microsecond precision (i.e. only want accurate callstacks),

grep intel_pt /proc/cpuinfo

should do the trick.
> From what I'm hearing, developers in those area have much less contact with the business side of company.

From what I’ve seen though, those domains don’t particularly have much interest in people without established careers in them already.
Wait, but doesn't this jeopardize the people who sold the VPNs to them? I mean, it should be pretty straightforward for T-Mobile to know which specific account was used to access unauthorized data? Maybe I am misinterpreting it.[0]

[0]: I am assuming that each VPN has a unique identifier.
I had a lot of spam sent to the email I used to register with French consulate. It's registered as part of the electoral lists so all candidates can get access to that email and they don't have the best security (including one candidate who would cc 200 people from the list on each of his emails)
The DK paper is not about assessing one’s self. There was a self-eval, but the primary methodology used for most of the data & conclusions was to rank one’s self against the others in the group! You are spot on -- this ranking is a major problem for the credibility of the paper’s narrative. Being unable to rank against others precisely, especially when you don’t know their skill level, does not demonstrate that someone is unaware of their own lack of skill.
My understanding is that the coin's value is derived from it's weight and the precious metal it is. So when you get e.g. A Denarius, it's value was in the weight of silver it is. The coin was a way to folks to know that it was a specific weight, and therefore worth a certain amount of currency.

I think a much more common thing was to shave off part of the precious metal and keep it (since the metal is worth money).
After a month you don't know much about the market. Seems like someone wanted it dead from the beginning.
Workaround: Enter some nonsense string of characters in the search box to get an infinitely short infinite scroll.
Question for you folks that are smarter than me (see what I did there?) - DK has surfaced a lot here and in the online world more broadly with seemingly increased frequency. Why do you think that is?
> You can't really do much better than a private car.

what does this mean? owning a private care in central-ish London is awful - traffic is slow, there's limited parking both at home and at your destination, they're mostly emitting loads of pollution. in most cases, public transport is cheaper and faster (or at least not much slower).

where in London do you live that you think personal low occupancy cars are the "best" option?

Forged coins tends to sound different (gold and silver ring differently when dropped than cheaper metals), and they are different hardness/strength than cheaper materials.

If it's still gold/silver, but different design, it's just a foreign coin. They weigh it to figure out the worth.

The tricky part is if the coin is clipped. Take a look at dime or quarter: notice the fancy edge? That was so if the edge got clipped, it's no longer fancy, and you can tell it was clipped and weighs less. This is actually an important property of silver and formerly silver coins: the different value coins change weight in direct proportion to value. So a quarter weighs 2.5x as much as a dime.
$10k? $20k?

I was looking for something exactly this a while back but I'm guessing it's Not Cheap.
Here’s my sentiment regarding the return to the office: if our collective employers want this, then they can foot the bill for it. The entire commute, including all the transportation costs (car, insurance fuel, etc), as well as lunches, wardrobe requirements, and so on.

I care not one whit about making upper to middle management feel better about themselves and their useless parasitic lifestyle. Pony up and pay for it or don’t; a great many of us don’t want to live lives dedicated to corporations or profits.
>Are they using artillery on cities?

Are you actually living under a rock?
Now I want to know if there is artwork corresponding to CPU code names: Bulldozer and Piledriver, while not the best performing chips, certainly have a clear visual image to their names.
I'm not sure what in that article you're arguing he got wrong. He seems to suggest a number of options for CNN, he dismisses the paywall option, and mentions consolidation - which is basically what has happened with WB Disco.

The failure of CNN+ doesn't really tell us much about the future of CNN given where WB Disco is right now.
I haven't done social science research professionally. Have you?
Ironically, the very modern technology that has assisted us, has itself become a leading cause of death: medical errors and false positives
I don't think the instruction stream is self synchronizing; if you jump to the middle of an instruction there's no guarantee you'll ever get back to not parsing garbage.
You see. This is why it failed.
Password reset and cancel those accounts. Those companies aren't doing due diligence with verifying email. You don't want someone else's commercial activity linked to your identity.
>I haven't heard of it until the pullback

That's basically the reason. CNN dumped a bunch of resources into it without really identifying what audience or demand CNN+ is trying to satisfy.
what do you do there? data science as well?
I’d leave IT if everything else that interested me didn’t require me to basically give up the rest of my youth and tens of thousands of dollars.
Please stop lecturing me with what you imagine the rules are.

The entire answer is in that text.

I'm not interested in your list of judgments or your following statement that you won't be making a judgment. I'm not interested in you telling me that you think I belong on Twitter, or your attempt to rely on having been here six years as being an old timer.

You ignored everything I said and we both know why.

Don't waste your time making another set of personal attacks.
> I stopped reading at this point. Someone that is so certain that they say “I simply won’t believe you.” is too self-assured to be worth paying much attention to.

Actually it is even more ironic. You are too self-assured that a multi-page article is not worth paying attention to because of a single sentence in it that irritates you.
Buying an inexpensive Roman coin was on my list. Not as a collectable — but as a meditation / fidget device. Makes you think about a lot of things and sort of… gives an interesting perspective.

Atm a Nuka Cola bottle cap makes more sense though.
They've been shooting unarmed civilians too.
It may not have been fleeting by the dictionary definition of the word, but it definitely was by the way the rules are applied. I've worked in the broadcast industry and have had to deal directly with this subject, so I'm not just spouting nonsense here.
This is the crust of the problem.

Python type-hints bind you to a lot of other sister projects of Python, which makes you question if they are even official addition to the language.

I think that's also what the OP's article tries to convey.
It’s worth reading the whole thing, especially because your comment and reaction to it (the posting of a comment about it on HN) is precisely the topic of the essay.

In the bounds of the voice of the essay (personal, slightly dishy, academic) this is not rambling, it’s coherent and fairly pointed - the way that it makes its point is through triangulation and narrative, instead of the more typical blogspam which makes its point through h2 tags, name dropping and emphatic retellings of how CAC was cut by 18% resulting in the author becoming rich.

At any rate, you might give it another read, and mull over his idea that HN and the rest of the social internet are an especially pernicious ‘game’ - I think it’s worth the time.
I’ve heard this a few times.

I’ve tried all meat before and I get crazy weak. If I recall my pain level dropped a lot though. Maybe because not eating enough meat.

My wife gets crazy energetic, all her pain goes away and she’s way happier.
As a practical approach on Windows, for well-known software, I go to Wikipedia, look up the project there and then get the link, obviously that's not guaranteed to be correct, but for well-known projects bad links usually get corrected relatively fast, so it's probably correct

For lesser known projects I just cross my fingers, but typically lesser known projects are less likely to have malware posing as them
Sounds like something that could be fixed.
As Rust is llvm based, you don't need to compile it to C. Just write a backend that translates LLVM IR to C instead of x86_64. The IR is very C looking, it's probably overly complex.

Compiling down to asm, lot of information is lost regarding memory layout etc, so it's not the best source for generating code.
When is it useful to have a loop that executes partially with some code and the rest of the way with different code?
I haven't heard about that. Do you have a link?
I disagree on the quality thing - TV shows are markedly better than ever. Even the crappiest sitcom produced today is a zillion light-years better than 99% of the 80s/90s production. Yeah, some of it is formulaic, but it always was.

The problem really is the interface. There is so much stuff and you have to manually select what you want, so the best items are actually harder to find - whereas before you could just sit at your telly on a given time.
The charts make it clear that people's self-assessment was (roughly) independent of their skill level. It's not obvious that students' self-assessment would be mostly random / unrelated to skill level. For me that's a non-obvious result.

If people wander off through the verbiage of any article, where the chatter isn't supported by data, sure, they'll tend to get speculation.
Hmmm, somewhat but it’s missing the ergonomics to the point that it can’t be used the same way.

The best analogue i can come up with is a sql session connected to a live database.

What's the mathematical breakdown of what you need to maintain a healthy weight on a mostly or entirely plant based diet? I know the source is biased but these people have done the math:

What's fun is the articles they've done on NFL players (like Brady, whose diet is 80% plants) who obviously have professionals working for them but have no negative performance issues.

CNN++ ofc
The USD - crypto is an amazing tool for authoritarian regimes looking to evade sanctions. Assuming that's where you were trying to go, you totally misunderstand the problem. People in oppressive regimes can have all the crypto in the world but, if every time they use it to buy food, there's a guy with a gun who takes it for the regime, then it's even more useless than it's normal Monopoly money status.
Nice. And it satisfies my curiosity about whether trading firms are switching to AMD or not
Victim of the merge is my guess. There is Discovery+ and HBO Max. Having 3 probably seemed dumb to them and are probably already in motion to have a single streaming service. It was probably easier to out right kill it than to spend the resources to merge the users into something else.
Tangentially related. But i really love the podcast from the janestreet people: signals and threads.
Assuming the metal tube runs on a moderately convenient schedule between convenient locations and that they'll not transporting things that they can't conveniently take on the metal tube.

I was just reminded of this last week. I was going into the city about an hour away for a class but after thinking about it, I'd still have needed to drive to the train station and park, the train schedule was suboptimal, and I'd have had to carry some things associated with the class around with me all day. I do sometimes take the train in but although it's sometimes convenient, it's not a panacea (and doesn't work at all for going in for an evening event). It's also not cheap.
Net neutrality has real impacts. It wasn't that many years ago where weirdly Netflix was basically unusable on FIOS. And of course it worked like a dream over a VPN. Verizon had minimal peering with Netflix to extract fees for "pushing" data and because Netflix competed with their cable TV business.

Competition is a trickier issue because in most cases overbuilds make little economic sense. The best situation is probably municipal fiber (who builds and maintains it) and retail ISPs rent that infrastructure to provide services.

But instead the US incentivized cable network builds in a terrible way: by providing franchises. The ISPs would pay the city for a monopoly, basically. Cities got addicted to this income and were allies in opposing competition as a result.
Both. They do very badly in terms of logistics, but they still have a lot of munitions for the artillery, especially their unguided Grad units that basically destroy everything indiscriminately.
CNN+ is the ill-fated streaming subscription news service of CNN. According to CNN, CNN+ failed because of the merger between WarnerMedia, CNN's parent company, and Discovery, and not because of low viewership. The purported reason for the shut down was that CNN+ does not align with Discovery's streaming strategy, because Discovery wants to have bundled streaming services with multiple offerings for its brands, versus a dedicated niche streaming service for each brand. [1]

Is this the real explanation or was it low viewership / subscriptions? I have no idea. It seems odd that they would shut down the service instead of simply folding it in to whatever successor services took its place, which wouldn't have such a terrible narrative around it.

Just to be clear, are you under the impression that leveling residential areas is how you win a war?
> No one should be forced to do business with you on your terms

But they can be forced to do business under particular terms, or can be forced to do business with everyone under the same terms. If they don't want to, they can walk away from the business, but society has to have standards.

This is why I prefer to page on features working within SLA instead of lower level things like CPU usage or query time.

Having a system send warnings about CPU or query time are great when I am awake. They are hints to a problem, but not always a problem themselves.

Why does capitalism get such a bad rap? It's quite good at what it does and every single one of us has capitalism to thank for our presence here, specifically on the internet on our devices.

Are you genuinely serious or were you completely unaware of anti-communist government sanctioned blacklisting of academics suspected of being communist for political clout? Are you unaware of churches excommunicating Galileo for daring to scholarly research into the earth rotating around the sun? Are you unaware of our own Alan Turing, of the Turing award, literally castrated not for his research but because he was a known gay researcher? Are you unaware of why HBSUs exist(black scholars were segregated for being black, their research dismissed because of the race of the researcher)?

Politics in academia isn’t new, like, at all.
What they did there feels like trying to replay Kevin Mitnick in the current times
Really nice collection. The terms of service link currently is returning a 404, by the way (for the curious, the github repo says the icons are MIT licensed).
My way around that nonsense is ;

1. I use Tweetdeck on PC (browser).

2. I also prefer to add people to lists rather than following them.

So on Tweetdeck I have multiple columns open at once, the first column is the people I follow (Tweetdeck presents them in chronological order, no messing about with similar users or liked tweets) and the rest of my columns are my lists. (F1, MotoGP, NBA, Space/Rocketry, Tech).

I mainly use Twitter on PC but whenever I use it on mobile it's to look through my lists. The timeline is pretty much useless on all apps.
> The US has some of the most expensive Internet access in the world.

Lol what? I can get 5-10Gb/s fiber in my town for $120-$200/month.

If I want 1Gb/s fiber it’s $55/month.

If I want 100mb/s it’s $20/month.

To your point it’s about regulatory capture. Not all states and localities have that issue, it’s almost entirely to do with several corrupt states that get targeted.
From 11 months ago, my take on that:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27139705

Thinking about it now, I could see how it started on the shoulders, where the straps of my backpack are, and on my back. Basically everywhere where (different) backpack(s) and straps thereof applied load, pressure, friction.
It’s possible, but I doubt they willingly sold their credentials. It’s more likely that they were scraped by some other means and sold.
I've also worked in the broadcast industry; you are just spouting nonsense. You get fined for knowingly allowing several minute long continuous chants like that, and can get your license taken away.

It wasn't fleeting in either the dictionary nor the regulatory sense.
I think Shakespear had it right when he had a verbose character say, 'brevity is the soul of wit'. Very few writers can craft a compelling narrative on the same scale as Tolstoy. There's something I observed around people who study literature full time where they spend all this time with classic epics and want to do that themselves. But Tolstoy had a lot to say and earned the reader's attention. Most people, even most professionals, are not at Tolstoy's level, and the sin isn't being less skilled than a generation-defining genius like him but in eschewing the tools of the journeyman.
How do we manage to have any laws? We should use that process.
Yeah the guy spearheading it left and everyone else could not wait to get rid of it.
Those REPLs aren't even remotely comparable. You can TEST with them, but you never DEVELOP with them.

If they were the same, you'd load up a repl of your entire codebase. Now you'd dynamically update the part you're working on, test it live against your current environment, and finally save it to move to another thing. When errors happen, you just drop into the debugger to find the issue. If you missed a call site or two, you'll probably catch it here. Because it's instantaneous, it's not painful. I'll have a REPL open pretty much all the time when messing around with CL.

In JS (my day job), this wouldn't work at present if for no other reason than directly replacing a function is impossible. You'd create a second instance of a function, but all the old references from other places in the code would remain stuck with the old version.

JS falls back to "hot reloading" which is literally "restart the whole JIT" which means that you have to warm the JIT up again and (more importantly) that all your state disappears.

You make a change then wait a while for everything to recompile and run. Then you have to write/execute a bunch of code to get your state back to where it was. When the error is thrown, you now have to look through the things for that call site you missed, save, and reload everything all over again. Rinse and repeat. This heavily disincentivizes interactive and incremental development in favor of massive changes then trying everything out at once.
Depending on field and author, that's downright common. French is still often untranslated in works that tend toward the literary or philosophical. Before the 70s or so, Latin (usually some unattributed quotation you were expected to recognize) was often untranslated. Before World War I, Greek was like that, too—but that's because both Greek and Latin were studied in primary school, then.

In all cases it seems like the British have held on to those a bit longer than Americans.

In this instance, you ought to be able to pick it out by context, thanks to cognates and two famous works by two famous figures being included. "Méridien de sang" can only be McCarthy' Blood Meridian; "la Monadologie de Leibniz" can only be Leibniz' Monadology—the philosophy of monads being the thing he's second most famous for in the English world, after co-developing calculus and before noble genealogy. "un double movement" is almost identical to English. From there, your guess at the meaning, given the lead-in to it, will likely be correct.

You think this is bad, you should see what they do in math.
I guess that indicates the congestion charge could be higher.

Economically, I agree, but in practice, I think it misses a point. I go to London once every year or three. So I can justify spending a lot more for a single day's convenience than, say, someone who goes a few times a month. As a rare visitor, I contribute less to London's congestion and problems, but on the other, I contribute less to its economy too, so is raising the congestion charge fair?

All that said, this conversation has encouraged me to at least try some other options and broaden my approach, so I might park at Ebbsfleet and get HS1 in (19 minutes). It costs £19.10 each way though and about £25 for the parking, but I'm up £30 in congestion charges and painful traffic..

encouraging more cars into the center is explicitly an anti-goal, so not sure why you wish these projects had been built?

I'm too young to have been around when they worked on the project, but my personal preferences are oriented around different goals than they had. I would be quite happy with a Angelesation of London, but I'm one of those weirdos who likes Milton Keynes as well..

Incorporate the first strike doctrine. Before contacting someone that is erroneously using your email address, call them a creep up front to disarm them mentally. Then proceed with your demand that they stop using your email address.
The thing with raising congestion charges, higher taxes on airfares etc is that you then limit these options to the financially well off, which doesn't seem very progressive.
Quibi lasted for >6 months. This is even more embarrassing than that. So you're actually insulting Quibi with this comparison.

On the other hand, at least Quibi no longer has to worry about having a line in a TV show like "Was it Quibi bad?", now everyone will use "Was it CNN+ bad?".
They're leveling cities near the areas that they invaded in 2014 which don't require extensive logistics. They're losing in the rest of the country because the Ukrainian military is pretty effective, the Russians are logistically incompetent and can barely maintain air superiority (due largely to the West providing highly effective AA weapons), and Ukraine is a huge country with a very determined populace.
