FTA: Editor's note: An earlier version of this article mentioned the Boeing 787 CCS uses a Wind River VxWorks real-time OS product at its heart. While this is true, Wind River has been in touch to remind us "the CCS is made up of 80 to 100 applications," as well as VxWorks, and said the bug described in this article is not the fault of its operating system.

"The functions of VxWorks have nothing to do with the data issue you are highlighting in the 787," a spokesperson added. We are happy to clarify our coverage.
There was an HN article about this a few weeks ago, about some pet care chain charging for dog grooming training. That's in California, and it's clearly illegal under California law. Class action suit in progress.
They edited out all of the crazy stuff he said and then Tucker Carlson literally said "See, he's not crazy!"

Oh come on! Privacy and secrecy are not the same thing. Privacy is where everybody else legally agrees to pretend we don't know what you are doing. Secrecy is ... an illusion that the CIA are struggling with.

I am reminded of a quote from Iain M Banks, where the hero was talking to a sentient nebula, and the background includes how the fleshy races would discuss if the nebula was "truly sentient", partly on philosophical grounds "but mostly because they could do immensely profitable things with a cloud of gas a million cubic parsecs in size"

You mean illiquid, not insolvent.

Reminded me of something that happened 3 weeks ago. Had been meaning to share here in HN.

I am an h1b from India. Was talking to a colleague about the 100 year wait period for greencards through employer's MS teams. I shared him some twitter links (where people say they would be 115 when they get greencard and such) through whatsapp. While I was talking about it, Teams got disconnected. Didn't think anything about it, just thought its just a network issue.

Same day, while talking to another colleague, mentioned same thing, and shared the twitter links over whatsapp. Again, MS teams got disconnected. I thought it was an odd coincidence that it got disconnected twice when I talked about this subject.

Same day, at around 9.30 pm, I get an email from Twitter saying they have blocked a suspicious login from a city in US. So, someone knew my user name & password. I am guessing my employer was monitoring the conversation, and had my social media passwords.
Aliases turn a flat namespace into a potentially cyclical graph, and introduce all kinds of permission considerations (Should a non-owner be able to alias a project? If so, should they be allowed to update it?).

The solutions here are non-flat namespacing (which has worse UX, since `cargo install some-tool` now becomes `cargo install whats-their-handle-again/some-tool`) or some kind of content addressing (which is similarly bad for UX, if not worse). Most package indices choose neither, and "solve" the problem by playing whac-a-mole with abuse instead.
> I think it's pretty dangerous to be labeling people involved in the national dialogue as mentally ill without a diagnosis, or at least some substantial and direct evidence.

I think this is a lot less dangerous than you think. When people throw around terms like "groomer", "nazi", and "abuser" with reckless abandon, labelling someone as "bipolar" hardly compares. Ultimately anyone that agrees with what Kanye is saying will not be swayed by the label, neither will those who disagree with him by the lack thereof.

A lot of the commentary about his mental illness seems to be focused on trying to find an explanation for why his ideas and positions seem to have radically shifted in the last few years. Honestly, it kind of gives him an "out". If he was not afflicted by some kind of mental illness when he called for "Death con 5", his actions are even more morally suspect.
You should not have done this unless you want to further normalize the practice of namespace squatting. This is the same type of behavior leads to domain squatting. While arguably being slightly more benign in the sense of hedging against typosquatting, if everyone started going things like that, we'd quickly begin to run into namespace exhaustion problems as people started ballooning their package namespace footprint.

Before you do something like that, always ask yourself: "What if everyone else started doing this?"

If the result feels like a nightmare in the making, don't do it.
Another big myth is that money is stopping all your ideas from being accepted. The truth is that you haven't convinced people.

This is true even for entirely correct ideas.

None of those were going to pass anyway, so it's no price at all.
I've been trying to figure out how end-to-end encrypted communication is supposed to work in these apps. From what I can gather you need two things, a central server, and public key encryption. To start a conversation your first task is getting the public key of your intended recipient. This is supplied by a central server that acts as a public key repository and message relay/store. Then you can send your message by leaving it at the central server for later delivery to the recipient (encrypted with their public key.) This is also the start of some form of key exchange in the hopes of switching to symmetric encryption for future communication.

I see problems with this setup. The central server is responsible for relaying communication since there is no directly link between those trying to communicate. It is also responsible for handing out public keys. It is literally a man in the middle. What is stopping the central server from lying about the public keys? What is stopping the server from decrypting everything?

Hopefully my understanding of this is wrong. It is certainly incomplete.
I wholly understand your point, but there's a huge power imbalance here. We can run all the referendums we want.

The US government has the full might of the US military, a reluctant political class and an economic interest in keeping the status quo.

There has to be cooperation in both sides for either statehood or independence, if decolonization is to be achieved peacefully. Sadly, there's no will to negotiate from the US gov’t.

About corruption, well, it’s true. Our ex-governor was recently indicted.

However, I also find corruption allegations a convenient way to perpetuate this image of Puerto Ricans as freeloaders—completely missing how much the mainland benefits from us economically, both as a tax haven and as a source of tax revenue (no IRS federal tax, but Jones Act import restrictions).

For more on economic benefits, think about this: a market of 2-3 million people locked in exclusively into US goods and markets due to colonial import restrictions.

I admit I meant this slightly tongue in cheek. I think „nothing“ works well as a description in terms of „no agenda“ and maybe „no philosophy“ (not sure about the latter, maybe it just escaped me; cynicism?).
Does the term 'soft reality' make sense though? I don't subscribe to realism or materialism, but I understand the instinct to reduce the universe to just the measurable parts if the alternative is that the scientific method doesn't work at all.

Granted, real science has error bars and there's no upper limit to how big those could get in theory, but in practice there's an upper limit to where a scientific approach is better than just crafting a compelling narrative.
Are there any browser addons that can remove all paid for ad results and re-sort them to their non-paid for location?
I think what people often blissfully miss about founder comp is that the business literally supports the founder's entire life. Everything is a business expense. Pay yourself 50k as a little bonus and run almost everything through the business, because if you don't survive, neither does the business. You think founders are paying out of pocket for their fancy SF and NYC apartments at 50k per year living humbly? Think again. IDK, I always thought this part of the narrative was rather misleading.

EDIT: I'm not a tax person, obviously people aren't being illegal and dishonest. It's just smart to write off everything possible in a founder's life as a business expense. Maybe housing or this or that doesn't qualify where you live? Great that's what the minimal salary is for. Everything else goes on the company card.

2nd EDIT: I don't really understand why everyone is so cagey whenever this topic comes up. This isn't news. The IRS isn't reading this saying "gosh darn they figured out a new loophole". The laws are clearly spelled out, it's up to you to apply them to your situation. Remember, tax evasion is illegal. But minimizing tax liability is 100% okay and literally the name of the game. Otherwise, we wouldn't have tax breaks in the first place.

Thanks! I read this years ago and have been sharing the concept with colleagues, but couldn't remember where it came from.

It's a really useful concept to keep in mind when designing or maintaining complex systems.
I watched it, and it was an engaging mix of lucidity, nonsense, insight, and delusion. Intended to be a 30 minute interview, Kanye had much on his mind, and they went for two hours. He wasn't clearly not himself; he's always like this during his public, manic phases. (He goes dark during his depressive phases.)

I think our society has gotten so used to pop stars who are safe, sanitized, vapid graduates of Disney kids, and "transgressive" high artists bravely fighting the against dead horses slain generations ago, that we've lost the capacity to handle artists who can be disturbing and awkward at times, and creatively redeeming at others, but can't easily be categorized as perfectly good or purely evil.
> Is Elon Musk being scammed by Twitter?

Twitter clearly took full advantage of his irrational hard on to get a signed deal. Not “being scammed” in that Twitter very nuch did not seek out the deal, but they certainly fully leveraged his willingness to toss out preconditions any sane purchaser would demand.

> Having a celebrity owner increases the value.

As a mascot, maybe, unless they are polarizing and their area of negative appeal overlaps with the product’s market and their positve appeal doesn’t; but owners are also decision makers, and celebrity’s are going to be all over the map in that role.

Honestly it doesn’t even seem like FAANG is very attractive in terms of comp to quality of life anymore. Or if it ever was. Maybe I’m wrong.

Base comp seems comparable to the Phoenix metro, but TC is jacked due to RSUs.

You have to sell yourself as an idiot-fanatic to those companies; you live and breathe Apple/Amazon life etc. Only to work with engineers who are by no measurable means the top 1% of the industry.

There seem to be really brilliant people who work elsewhere or just own their own business because they have zero tolerance for the absolute stupidity of the hiring and culture at FAANG-likes. They are simply scattered about.

To answer your question, you can’t answer this question without collecting lots of data. Find tech companies, and probing for their compensation packages one way or another. Working with recruiters, collecting job postings, understanding regional TC.
Nailed it. WhatsApp was the first or among the first few kids on the block... and maybe if FB didn't acquire them, they'd have improved or heck, even gotten subsumed by Signal.

Does cashless society discriminate against the poor and elderly? (2019)
For previous discussion on the same topic (different article), see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32905728

My previous 2 cents was "I worked for a company that did this in a white collar capacity - FDM. I basically regard them as the scum of the Earth.
However, unlike the article, they usually rent out their trainees as consultants to big companies with broken hiring practices. Myself and a lot of other people I know got an impressive name to put on our resumes and spun that into decent careers. So maybe I shouldn't be so harsh."

I'll add that I also add that I have acquaintances who took 2 other paths out of the agreement:

1) Get training, get experience, break contract, get a much better paying job, lawyer up, don't pay company anything anything.

2) Get training, get experience, break contract, get a much better paying job, lawyer up, settle with company for a reduced training fee using a fraction of the wage increase.
This is a really weirdly specific set of prescriptivism that is easily countered by plenty of native English speakers who absolutely do use "aren't" and "gonna" together (myself, for example).
Well you can judge people that say those things as people who don't deserve your respect and attention. Then don't hang around places that interact with those people, that's how we do it in real life.
In what kind of startups is this happening in?!

> network effect is a thing

Sure is. So is getting anyone to do more than the default.

I have an extended family SMS group, an "after hours" work SMS group, and an SMS group of some people I play online computer games with.

Nobody across any of these groups is happy with the down-sampled videos, the inconsistent emoji reactions, and other SMS oddities. It's a constant complaint across all groups.

I have suggested we switch to Telegram or Signal multiple times. Not a single person is happy with SMS. Not a single person has even bothered to install Telegram or Signal.
> Mostly I just know of him because he's a very public asshole. Much like his wife.

Writing events is certainly a potential security problem.

I know in the Windows world, one of the UAC features was that a less privileged process can't send events to an elevated window.

In X11, I think last I checked most distros disable the XTEST extension by default out of security concerns. Skimming the warpd code, they are using XTEST for the X backend.

As I think of the keylogger problem, it's not really privilege escalation, is it? If you're running as the same user as all the other clients, you could ptrace(2) them and intercept their event loops. I guess there are some container-based app deployment solutions now where you could run stuff at different security levels, so maybe it's more of a legit issue now...
I think we are mixing up two ideas. A victim can communicate/signal a need for help by asking, posturing, expressing a need. This can be intentional or unintentional.

An observer can also determine a need for help by analysis of observational information outside of an intentional or unintentional signal.

Punching a bully might convey information that someone needs help, despite not being an intentional or unintentional signal. Similarly, I might conclude that someone needs help by looking at their bank account without them even knowing.

>By seeing help as something a victim intentionally seeks for the sake of their own benefit, we reduce them to selfish actors and eliminate psychology from the picture.

I don't think I follow your reasoning. How does reducing them to selfish actors eliminate psychology?

>This is often the trap evo-psych falls into: its adhearnts mistake an explanation of how X could evolve, for an explanation of why a given person in a given situation Xs. These are radically different.

Not all actions are intended to be social signals. Some clearly are.

I think the evo-psych/game theory models explain the purpose of social signals well. The point still stands that not every action an actor makes is a social signal.

The role of psychology is to explain the state of individual, what leads them to make an action, or send a signal.

The question of what message is sent by someone crying is different from why they are crying in the first place.

evo-psych might say they are probably crying because crying signals a need for attention and support.

Regular psych might say they are crying because their spouse died.

> Nobody in Web3 is suggesting you hold all of your assets in a single private key that you physically carry to a restaurant

I'm not suggesting that, either. It's a metaphor. In the metaphor, we're not talking about crypto wallet keys, we're talking about actual, physical keys which open doors. But many people do of course keep all their crypto keys in a single, vulnerable location, or hand the contents of their wallets over to another wallet for some other purpose such as lending - typically this is on centralized exchanges or defi markets and platforms, for example Celsius - which I haven't checked in a while but can only assume is still in business, doing well and allowing customers to access their funds.
And in James it says: "Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you."

I think in both cases (the verse in Luke you mention which I believe is in Mary's Magnificat and this one in James) the idea is that if you were well fed now at the expense of the poor then woe to you - ie. if you exploited the poor so that you could be rich. You can see this theme in the prophets of the Hebrew bible as well. Also, there are wealthy people mentioned in the new testament (contributors to Paul's missions) who are commended for being generous. Wealth in itself isn't condemned, it's hoarding of wealth that's condemned.

Perhaps surprisingly, I can't.

Violating "regulatory rules" should result in fines and the government coming down on you. I would think this is the worse outcome, but less likely than...

Violating "union contract negotiated rules" should result in grievances ending in legal action if the employer doesn't agree they broke the rules. This should be a lighter penalty but the union seems more likely to pursue the remedy than the government.

So which actually is it that the company considers worse?

> he is a victim of his own choices...

Would you say the same about a schizophrenic who refuses to stay on his meds and ends up ranting at people while living under a bridge?

People with bipolar disorder sometimes won't take their meds for a variety reasons, one being they seek the energy of manic episodes (one in my acquaintance had only had one major manic episode in her entire life but she put up with depression for years in hope of having another one).

Kanye West has stated in interviews that he's a.) bipolar and b.) doesn't take his meds because they interfere with his creative process. This man is not well.

Worth noting as well, from the list of various hosting services, Codeberg is the only one explicitly for FOSS software and not for proprietary software. Sourcehut seems to be in the box of everything for running the service is FOSS but they would be OK with hosting non-FOSS software, whereas Codeberg isn't for hosting proprietary software at all.

From the FAQ (https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/faq/#is-it-allowed...):

A fascinating vignette, though it would be improved if it delved a bit further into the finance underlying the 'alchemy'.

Trading securities with yourself to create the illusion of value is called wash trading, and it is illegal. Selling securities to other people on the basis of that illusory value is securities fraud, which is also illegal. People have done this with penny stocks since forever, and the SEC is pretty good at catching them out. It's not hard to see the pattern in the trading data.

Here, it seems that Broeksmit was able to wash trade his own invented tokens, but since no one else was fooled by the misleading trading data, he couldn't sell them. That's good, as it implies there were no victims of his attempted fraud. The rest of the story is sad, but hardly unexpected. Anyone who's dealt with people in dire straits knows they'll cling to anything, no matter how half baked or implausible, that they see as a potential lifesaver.
