Remind me of that secured phone sold by a german company to governments around the world.

In practice, the company was indeed a joint venture involving the US government who used a german proxy to sold compromised hardware to unsuspecting official. Everything went straigh to NSA.
> Are SREs and DevOps tasked with administration of operating systems?

yes, eventually.

you can dress it up in all the fancy terms that you like. but devops and SREs are sysadmins with better PR.

its critical that SREs understand _how_ to debug a system, so that they can work out how to put in fixes, and or design better systems.

`Metaballs, not to be confused with meatballs`

Totally clicked on this thinking it said meatballs.
This hurts:

>> Also, the median sales price for homes in the U.S. was $384,800 in September, an 8.4% spike from the $355,100 price tag in September 2021 as prices climbed in all regions, the association reported.

>> Assuming a 10% down payment, the monthly mortgage is $1,000 higher than a year ago, Evangelou said.

Low inventory, and even lower seeing how construction is not keeping up with demand, is keeping housing prices up. For someone like myself who owns but wants to move to a bigger house, I cannot because the interest rates are so high. This locks up the market even more.
I just don’t trust a company and its employees which actively tried to kill Linux back in the day.

Adding the fact that said company is designer, enforcer and gatekeeper of such technology makes everything more worrisome.

Lastly, telling that people are spreading FUD against the company which defined and is synonymous with FUD is ironic.

That’s all,

Thank you.

Try it the next time you shower, and see for yourself :).

Even a minute of initial water flow should generate enough heat in the enclosed area for the minute or three you need to comfortably apply whatever gels, soaps and shampoos you need. If that's not the case, then either you're in a place with harsh winters and it's the coldest week of the year, or your bathroom / building needs serious insulation rework. In that last case, I guess the water waste is a non-issue compared to overall heat waste due to poor insulation.

Also note that none of that precludes you taking your sweet time in hot water if you need it for e.g. relaxation reasons. It just doesn't make sense to keep it running for the part when you apply the cleaning agents.

from the recruitment side, cause I have asked this question to my company's HR... :P

hackers do it as well hence why I am always stressed about phishing, though recruitment mail on professional ids is still rather rare, recruiters also prefer to use personal email if available or so I have heard from a subset of them.

Try checking if it maybe some kind of phishing scam, I have seen those a lot, recruitment phishing is like the most common case of successful phishing.

Terminal velocity is terminal velocity, so the speed at which you fall tops out relative to altitude pretty quickly

Water is basically concrete at terminal velocity. I'm not an expert, but I wouldn't be surprised if he survived because he fell into the water at the location of his plane, which was emitting bubbles that break the surface tension and make water safer to fall into

Response to a deleted comment:

> Extralegal punishments like "cancelling", doxxing, and indirectly inciting violence on your political adversaries is becoming more common.

> And when that happens, it's understandable why the target above would want to get the person back with their own (possibly kinetic) extralegal punishment, if they can't take it through the court system, which is what already happens for people like drug dealers (they can't go through court system to fix bad deals).

> You also just have crazy people. "Talk shit, get hit" etc.

You're absolutely right. Vigilantism is a serious problem, and dressing it up as political activism is becoming increasingly common. You can't even avoid this by simply believing and saying the "correct" things because half the country is going to disagree with you regardless. In such an environment, anonymity is the best defense. Either you blend in with the crowd and never say anything interesting, hope that nobody ever singles you out for retaliation, or you cloak yourself in anonymity and speak your mind. The latter is something of an American tradition, born in a time of revolutionary strife when being on the wrong side could get you dead, imprisoned, or chased out of the country.

Aside: don't take downvotes so seriously. Sometimes good comments get hit with a lot of downvotes at first but get upvoted again later. Also they don't matter, the 'karma' is imaginary internet points and you can't buy anything with them. Ignore downvotes and speak your mind.
AI may rival programmers some day, but it isn't close yet. We can't extrapolate from Topcoder questions to software development as a whole. Requirements are rarely so crisp, and the systems we build are never so small. If an AI could optimize the layout of a few cogs, it does not follow that it could also design a whole factory.
I'm always fascinated by group travel apps although I certainly haven't seen a successful uber-app for managing all aspects of a trip.

I like the focus here on getting commitment from participants. That can be so challenging when putting together a trip.

It doesn't look like Villagers handles everything (and that's ok!) - e.g. when I went to create a new trip I noticed it looks like everything is based on having a single location - you can't set up lodging in location A for the beginning of a trip, have a few days on the trail hiking, and the lodging for the end of trip in location B (unless I missed it).

EDIT: Oh, and it looks like the lodging HAS to be an AirBNB (the field validates that the AirBNB URL contains AirBNB.com). That's certainly limiting.
Even though I _never_ use it, I absolutely loved learning the basics of a functional language like Haskell. I think that's fed into my love of function-based components in React today.

Whenever HN discusses life outside the hustle, I find it striking how many people say "get off the computer and go outside", and how few people say "like anything else, computers can be great, just don't get carried away".

As someone who has been fascinated by technology from an early age, it's curious to me how often I see people advocate keeping their use of computers to a minimum like it's a point of pride and not just a personal preference.

> Libertarianism holds human rights above all else.

Only through a bizarre redefinition of peoples' rights. Same thing they do with "violence" by saying that the only justification for violence is as a reaction to violence, which when translated ends up only justifying (unredefined, classical) violence against "violence."
My workaround for this problem was to use non encrypted USB flash drive for EFI and /boot partitions. It also contains encryption keys, main reason was to avoid entering passwords.
Works pretty well, only problem kernel upgrade fails if usb key is not mounted.

When I travel, there is no way to decrypt my computers, since keys are with me. When I arrive home, I insert keys, start all computers, upgrade packages (automated), remove keys...
If you're using Intel architecture, it needs at least some SMM: it is used on startup (initial hardware configuration) and often during power management events (CPU clock scaling, hibernation, etc). The article mentions that they disable most but not all of SMM, for those reasons.

Not sure if it's a false claim per se, as "smelten" is Dutch (Jelle being Dutch also) for melting. A device that melts things in Dutch would be called a "smelter". Of course, in his description he does use the English word melting correctly, but he also describes what it does correctly, so maybe he's just being artistic about it.

Also, I think a housing crash - similar to early 2000s, as many people think will happen - I dont think that will happen now. Its a different situation now. Subprime mortgage was taken care off with new regulations in subsequent years.

Currently, most new buyers with fixed rates will not see anything change. Its the handful of ARM (I think its handful - unless there is some data showing otherwise) who may be the real losers.
The TCPA requires express written consent to send marketing messages or phone calls to any personal phone number. Legal precedent dictates that online, this usually takes the form of a specific checkbox on the form where you're giving your phone number saying that you agree that the company can use the phone number for marketing purposes. I doubt Meta collects this type of express written consent for your 2FA phone number, but I guess it's possible.

There indeed used to be an exemption to the law involving an existing business relationship, but 1) this was only for residential land lines and never applied to cell phones, and 2) it was revoked on October 16, 2013. [1]

I've only one experience with airbnb support (a host that blamed a cracked window on us that we had not touched or looked at) but they were reasonably okay to deal with that one time.

I'm more inclined to think they're very inconsistent, and people are more likely to complain about bad experiences than to loudly proclaim "this company is reasonably okay to deal with!"
Reminds me of a web page I stumbled upon many years ago. It was very much visually designed in the 90s style.

The whole page was dedicated to tips and tricks for surviving falls from very high distances. I only remember 3 points:

* For most of the fall, try to spread out like a flying squirrel to reduce your terminal velocity.

* As you get close to the ground, rotate to take the impact primarily on your feet and legs.

* After you bounce, try to land on your feet again.
I am shocked that PHP of all things has faster speed than python.
No, this assumes all people have the same baseline tendency to abuse trust and commit fraud. You would then expect the remote scammers of, say, Maine pensioners to be from Alabama or Germany with the same rate (adjusted for population size) as from India, China, etc. This is not the case; your risk not equally distributed among all remote locations.

This seems to be par for the course for Pixar. I remember many of the deleted scenes from the Inside Out DVD were prefaced with explanation from Pixar that they were from a much earlier draft. They realized after working through the first draft that they now had a much better understanding of the characters, and then rewrote the narrative to match.

Looking at the graphs when I got the report to load they look pretty constant to me. No obvious change from 2003 to 2018 that I could see. Which makes me wonder what they’re testing for when 3/4 of the kids in the states fail…. Is this stuff like set theory and geometry or is it basic math and simple algebra (word problems) or what? Any pointers to a sample test?

Any chance this is conflated with lousy reading skills as all testing relies on that.

I think it all boils down to execution and the company’s mindset and skillset.

I was also a Quality Engineer for a time, and one of our bigger projects was to implement precisely a Natural Language system or something so that PMs or whoever wanted to “live in the future” could write their tests directly in the User Story.

What we did was create a large set of commonly used “phrases” to interact with systems, be it UI or APIs, which we coded the actual test framework for, document them for anyone wanting to write User Stories (in Rally platform, like JIRA), the instructions on what to do if a phrase didn’t exist for their case, etc. It took us 6 focused months, but we delivered, and people were happy. Of course, we are talking about technical PMs, PMs that met with designers and set standard guidelines, PMs that required API documentation and read it, and the like; just not “coding much” PMs.

Albeit this being a company where we already wrote automation tests right next to the developer’s timeframe for their own coding, where a feature got both code/tests right around the same time, 99% of the time, so it was easier for people to take advantage of features instead of shallowly complaining.

So, yes, I concur with you that probably your case would be better if everyone were a developer, I don’t really see the need for those kind of DSL, but if you reeeeeeally need to have other people intervene, and want them to focus more on their end of the bargain (not coding), I think these DSLs have their place: Assuming the whole company has the stomach for it.

Yes, copyright laws for code will need to be tweaked. There's also the issue that some countries don't recognise software patents.
It's more likely that you gave your phone number out somewhere more sketchy. The personal email thing sounds like straight fraud.

As someone who works for Meta and and sees all the privacy trainings and the hoops you have to jump through to do anything with user data anymore at this company, someone is definitely getting fired for this if it was indeed Meta's fault and intentional.
You’ve found it, or very nearly. The very next section is Expires:

> The format is an absolute date and time as defined by HTTP-date in Section 3.3.

The implication is subtle but critical. When the server sends a Date header and an Expires header, you don’t expire the content when the local time exceeds the Expires Header. You expire it at

LocalTime + (Expires - Date)

That covers not only time zones but also clock drift. When the client is sending data such as a POST, it also sends a Date header. That can account for time zones, clock drift, and to an extent network latency. When you’re legally bound to establish the order of events in a distributed system someone has to be the source of truth, and even when you’re not it’s still good to have for your own purposes. The system of record is the only thing that is running on the same clock as the system of record, so it is the most sensible source of truth.

So when a client sends you a buffer full of dated events, you can (and should) consider the timestamps in the POST body as relative to the Date header, not your local system time. Otherwise someone running on brown power or old school power saving mode will screw up all of the timelines in your data.
I started with a single 1xx MHz core and 16MB of RAM. And I'm sure some with even less, lol.

Supporting your point: Hardware is awesome if you use it wisely.
I think it would be the opposite, it shows at least some commitment from Google. Anyone building a product on Google will know now how they are.

I'd assume in this case that they'd be allowed to call his business.

It sounds like his personal contact details are entirely separate from his business ones. I don't believe they should ever be using personal details to contact a business.

Even if he did provide them his phone number. In many places, that data may only be used for the purpose for which it was given. If they request a phone number for 2FA and then use it to contact you it could absolutely be considered illegal.
