> Over the years I have heard here and there various versions of "Attitude is more important than knowledge" and __each time I was furious__

I'd start there, because if such a simple statement makes you furious, I can only imagine what your reaction (attitude) is in scenarios an entrepreneur might find themselves in.
But Putin does have dictator level control...

It's Putin's Russia because Russia does what Putin wants.

Biden wants a lot of things for America but both the legislature and the courts are stopping that. So in that sense it is America's America.
Personally I missed it because it looks like a shitty ad banner. I just mentally filter those out. The explanations make absolute sense to me.
I strongly suspect that many (most?) folks purporting that attitude outweighs competence have significant tailwinds: inherited money or connections, or similar.

You want to stack as many unfair advantages as you can. Attitude and knowledge are among those. Some folks have other unfair advantages over you, and you’ll have to work harder to compete than they would. That’s why they’re called unfair.
???

How so? They are capped at like $6k a year.
The only two things that matter for success in entrepreneurship are who you know and who you decide to trust. Both knowledge and attitude only matter insofar as they influence those two things.
Ironically, around a year ago I disclosed (using their White Hat bug bounty program) that I'm able to access recruitment data (candidates details mostly) using very cheap form of scraping against a 3rd party service provider, they dismissed it and instructed me to report it to the 3rd party that operates that service (which I did beforehand but the issue has had not been fixed).

Sorry for being vague here, I haven't publicly disclosed it yet, but will probably have to if it don't get fixed.
Looks very nice.

One thing I noticed is you are using server sent events for subscriptions. SSE have a lot of nice properties but do have one nasty limitation (from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Server-sent...):

"Warning: When not used over HTTP/2, SSE suffers from a limitation to the maximum number of open connections, which can be especially painful when opening multiple tabs, as the limit is per browser and is set to a very low number (6). The issue has been marked as "Won't fix" in Chrome and Firefox. This limit is per browser + domain, which means that you can open 6 SSE connections across all of the tabs to www.example1.com and another 6 SSE connections to www.example2.com (per Stackoverflow). When using HTTP/2, the maximum number of simultaneous HTTP streams is negotiated between the server and the client (defaults to 100)."

This can lead to some weird bug reports from users.
Because you're (not you, but people in general) are dumb and overly trusting.

A death threat is clearly different from an insult. And I'm not sure why you lump death wishes in with threat. Those are also clearly different.

> PDFs are "harmless" on their own, but they are user-generated documents that conform to a complex specification. Viewing them requires software that parses them. These parsers are often written in unsafe low level languages.

Yes, I understand this, keep in mind I'm a software engineer.

Let me re-phrase. It's understood that, in general, document formats are more or less harmless unless they execute macros/code, and even then, this code must be able to exploit the platform's vulnerabilities to be able to do harm.

What is different about PDF than, say, JPEGs? I don't know of anyone who would hesitate to open an image file on their work computer, yet they are also complex formats requiring readers (viewers) which are often written in unsafe low-level languages. Yet I have never ever head of someone recommending "be careful before opening a JPEG (or PNG, or whatever) file".

I'm assuming we are not talking about ye olde "PDF.exe" or "JPEG.exe" trick here, but actual vulnerabilities in document files (not just renamed executables).
Knowledge is necessary but in some cases not sufficient, I’d say. Nobody is going to give you a job where you don’t know what you’re doing, except maybe in politics.
Many countries do have the concept of private criminal prosecutions.
Talking about luck, I think attitude plays into this since entrepreneurship has more failures than successes, and sometimes it's just a game of luck.

The important thing is, in the face of failure, do you give up? Or do you persevere?
> Now we are talking about all kinds of fancy programming stuff to try to solve problems that only exist because we don't want to repeat the same 6 line snippet in a handful of different places because DRY tells us that's bad.

Introducing unnecessary complexity is, by definition, unnecessary. But we shouldn't be introducing complexity because DRY tells us. We should introduce complexity - some, but not more than needed - because some day a developer will know to update 2 of these 6 line snippets, but won't know about the third.
I have no doubt a small claim would result in a judgement made against Sony for the original purchase price of the item. Hopefully citizens will exert the right to do so.

People who lived before you shaped you. While physically you won't be there, you'll pass the torch to the next generation in same way.

Those who won't be remembered after a couple generations still shape that next generation that will shape the next generation and so on.

That's closest to immortality you can get.
Similar things were said about globalization too. That borders and boundaries would evaporate. But we can see many boundaries and divisions getting reinforced. These are huge dynamical systems. Like hurricanes beyond a point they are hard to predict. Quite possible there will be many different networks and they won't all have the same properties.

"could just as easily be attributed to this relationship being beneficial for Germany"

There is no single concience called Germany that may definitively answer the question of whether it benefits them.

As is often the case, people benefetting from this relationship are not the ones paying the price when something goes wrong.

For every 1 billion of economic benefit produced by this relationship, this war has destroyed 5.

most lukely, without this relationship, the qar would not be possible.
I put links to the official SPS site on the About page but your point is well taken. The link at the top of the site that says "SPS Peak List" really ought to take you somewhere that you can find out more substantive information than just the raw list of peaks.

I've got to wonder why Venice wouldn't just do something similar to NYC instead of having an "entry fee". I would think that adding/raising city fees on train, bus tickets, parking, boat landing, etc would accomplish similar congestion control, without ever needing "ticket checkers" scattered throughout the city. They could also set the parking fee to 4x the individual fee, and have easy price discrimination for price insensitive couples.
How many of us software engineers have had this experience: you fight a code problem for an hour and then when you figure it out you realize a clear description of the problem was right there in the initial error message the entire time.

We aren't above this or better about it. Knowing what to pay attention to is hard, people develop a huge and complex set of heuristics that sometimes let them down. Failing to account for that adequately may be a problem in our society but I don't think framing it as individuals failing at the virtue of "reading thing thoroughly" will be any kind of solution.
If the songs are publicly distributed DRM-free, then the whole licensing scheme is superfluous. The discussion is about media that is not distributed for free.

> I think there's still a problem in our society or species in general that people simply do not read things thoroughly.

We're overwhelmed with shit to read. Most of it poorly written. Almost none of it important. Combine with the tendency (in some societies—notably, the US is possibly the most like this) to post rules and notices and disclaimers on everything, and we become blind even to things that look like they might be important—because they almost never are.
Banners waste people’s time because they are not content. People subconsciously ignore them to save time.
Thanks; this is about what I was going to say but you said it better.

DRY is a tool, not a design goal. I think part of the Rails issue is a combination of the early Rails hype/philosophy, and the fact that DRY as a concept is so easy to "get", that everyone gets it but often fail the next step of "why". Without the why, you often can't figure out the right when/where so it gets applied everywhere.

It feels to me like another oblique angle of Goodhart's Law; eg: "A rule of thumb that becomes a required practice ceases to be a good rule of thumb".
Well you can’t just state “this isn’t a paper” at a beginning of a paper to get an exemption from the rules and traditions of scientific discourse. It’s like the people believing it’s not a crime to pay with counterfeit money if the signature reads “Donald Duck”.

> It is. [Spirituality] doesn't exist.

The majority of people on the planet claim to practice some religion / have some spiritual practice.

I think that means spirituality exists, as it's practiced to at least some extent by billions of people every day.

Do you mean the supernatural doesn't exist?

I'd readily grant that most (maybe all?) supernatural claims cannot be falsified, but that doesn't prove they're false.

I recommend a much more limited claim, perhaps reflecting your personal experience, such as "I have found no evidence that anything supernatural exists."

I don't sympathize with a monopoly that people are trying to weaken.

I loathe Meta and want to boycott it. Unfortunately this means I'm now locked out of the only repository of most local events and gatherings in my city.

In some countries, life is literally not possible without WhatsApp.

If Meta wants to cry about the mean bullies trying to exfiltrate data, they need to stop wiping out competitors.
What I've seen in New York is that New York City and/or New York State residents get discounted or free entry (sometimes only on certain days) to various venues. So all these fees could be reduced or eliminated for Italian citizens, who are most likely to be the poor visitors you mention. I think it's fair to expect non-Italians flying or taking the train into Italy to pay more.
Ask HN: How did Magic Leap become irrelevant?
I remember in the early 2010s, everyone was talking about how VR was going to revolutionize computing... and now that Meta is going down that path, why is no one talking about Magic Leap? Have they blown their shot?
Both are important. It depends on context. Some challenges/problems are easier to overcome with knowledge, some through attitude. Attitude is "more important" because a poor attitude renders all that knowledge completely irrelevant.
People mocked Trump for everything, regardless of how useful what he did was. Actually, CNN's news cycle still consistently has "Trump" in the title of multiple top-level articles. It's quite funny.

The CRAP that you’re referring to is really only solving for a very minor downside of SPOT (and DRY), and that’s the inconvenient connection of technically unrelated code. In my own experience it’s far simpler to disconnect two code paths (copy a function, change its signature, etc) than it is to connect them to achieve SPOT.

In your CRAP model it seems like you’d be relying on tests or assertions to verify the “protocol”, if I’m understanding that correctly. Which means finding all the places where something needs to be true and then testing for it. Seems like a lot of work and wouldn’t necessarily catch all those places.
Knowledge is the cumulative result of a particular attitude over time.

From a doctor compaining about the difficulties faced by generic alternatives to EpiPens:

If you know anything at all about doctors, you know that they have way too much institutional inertia to change from writing one word on a prescription pad to writing a totally different word on a prescription pad, especially if the second word is almost twice as long, and especially especially if it’s just to do something silly like save a patient money. I have an attending who, whenever we are dealing with anything other than a life-or-death matter, just dismisses it with “Nobody ever died from X”, and I can totally hear him saying “Nobody ever died from paying extra for an adrenaline injector”. So Adrenaclick continues to languish in obscurity.

> So much about this case is ridiculous, and it’s complicated by the fact that nearly everyone agrees that weev is a world-class jerk. But, you need to separate that out from the details of what he did here, to note that it was nothing particularly special, and it involved the sort of thing that security researchers do all the time, and which all sorts of non-security researchers do quite often.

Yeah... uhm... I used to do exactly this sort of thing...

> the vast majority of Web scraping efforts are to build businesses on top of other organizations hard work and innovation.

Not really. Scraping just gets data, not code, so it's hard to support this argument. The anti-scraping view is that the right to use the data rests with the company that collected it, but I don't think that view is held by most people.
The HWND-based ones that come with Windows would be the native controls as this is how the underlying window system works. The WPF/UWP/etc UI stacks are built on top of HWND stuff pretty much the same way as Java Swing or JavaFX were made that largely (especially the latter) ignore the underlying window system.

Of course since they come with the OS you might as well use those instead of bundling a separate UI toolkit, but IMO if you consider them as native as the HWND stuff then might as well consider everything native - AFAIK Windows even comes with a shared Electron/Chromium instance applications can use so in that case you could say anything that uses Electron is native on Windows :-P.

I've reread the previous comment and I really don't see where there is any justification stated for acting in an unethical manner. While Facebook may be making an argument against unethical behavior by a few, using the language they do is detrimental to legitimate uses of crawling content available on the Web.

Corporations, by nature, work in a way that individuals at those companies don't. They are literally "non-corporal" entities and work toward increasing profit and stakeholder value, not improving the lives or situations of their users, unless that happens to correspond to making them more money.

We should all be wary of corporate control and claim to rights built from their user base, especially if those services are offered for "free".

Trust is a feature.

Transparent systems in which transactions are screened do not trust their people.

North Korea would never allow their people access to a truly private cryptocurrency (which Monero does better). It would become easier to funnel money internally and create opposing factions.

This discussion is no different than a discussion about just rulers. If the person in charge of a monetary system has good intentions, or is informed by a democracy with collectively good intentions, it is better for them to dictate who can have access and who cannot.

Crypto forces those on the network to trust in the free decisions of the collective. If you think more people would transact with a large criminal psychopathic state like North Korea than they would with people who oppose North Korea, that is a collective choice. In a truly decentralized system, where everyone had access (which is not the case, and complicates things), the real, in practice will of the people comes out.
The way I like to explain it, which is how I have seen it explained several times, is that all AI can be reduced to search/optimization. ML is just applying the search over the function that will search for the final answer over a dataset (either generated on the fly or prepared beforehand). For neural networks the hypothesis space (all the solutions you are searching through to find the best ones) is the weights for the neural network, and your search strategy/optimization is (usually) backpropagation. If you translate the weights to something traversable by other algorithms they could do just "fine" (assuming infinite time and space) in it's place. It really opens the mind up for experimentation on every bit of the process. The book that really hammered it in for me was Intelligence Emerging by Keith Downing, short, great book on bio-inspired AI.
The person who ran the bot. Programs do not have agency, they are just tools.

> DRY creates a presumption of reusability

I stopped reading there. DRY creates maintainability, not necessarily reusability.
Tests in particular SHOULDN'T be DRY, IMO. They need to be very much independently modifiable quickly; they're meant to be quirky end-runs around your bespoke, artisinal architecture to get at all the interesting bits. Repetition there is fine.
Meh, that's unfounded, also the US been doing it for years

The US also know about every payments (in USD) over 200k or 2M (forgot the exact amount), so they can even spy on your trade secrets ;)

Also interesting to see the CIA missing, FBI? meh, MI5? meh, they don't know how to properly make use of deep fakes
I think what you're missing is that this is the entire point of cryptocurrencies. To be decentralized such that governments, banks, central authorities, cannot stop them. No laws, sanctions, rules, taxes, can force the crypto system to do anything.

Imho, they are inferior to real currencies at everything except for that.

Now, if you want to discuss whether that makes crypto a good or bad thing, oh, I'm with you, let's dive into that. But this article is discussing the implementation of such a system, not the frankly quite concerning ethics behind the existence of the system.
As someone else noted, it's probably some deterrent to people living fairly nearby who take casual day trips. But that's only about half the price of many museum admissions to say nothing of, as you say, theme parks.

Lots of "secure" messaging apps do this for intel and surveillance and not just the white hats.

Other areas that "secure" messaging apps have holes in is the anti-spam/moderation systems that need to view messages and in the clients themselves who have access to the unencrypted content. This is also taking place in other client apps as well: VPN, password managers, extensions, wallets, even build systems and more. Many like VPNs have logs sent elsewhere but deleted locally -- access to entire machine and all network access. People are way too trusting of "secure" systems/apps that are very common today based on trust.

All of these apps/systems would pass code checks, reviews, security inspections and essentially be encrypted/"secure" though a copy is sent off to another area for review. At runtime the leak is in the direction of the data.
Since the rest of the site uses the standard MediaWiki theme, I would have expected something that looks similar to the page banners used on Wikipedia (cleanup needed, requested deletion, etc.).

At first I didn't think there was any good reason not to notice their banner, but the more I look at it, it does look a lot like a banner ad. Especially since it goes wider than the text of the page itself.
