There is no fundamental reason why they can't do better here. There's no law of physics preventing accurate billing caps. And to the extent that they implement their own caps imperfectly the sensible approach would account for the extra cost as simply part of their costs of running the service which should be budgeted for in aggregate and covered by the pricing that they set themselves. It's simply not a priority for them, clearly.
N=1, but my neighborhood in NYC has both feral cats and rats. Maybe not as many rats as other neighborhoods in the area, but enough that it doesn’t seem to be a real solution.

Perhaps irrelevant to the thread at hand, but as I see other commenters mentioning programming fellowships I'll ask here:

I recently saw a mention of a programming fellowship program on HN that I thought sounded really interesting. It was for experienced programmers, I believe mostly virtual, and was free-or-cheap. The idea behind it was to give programmers excited about programming a space to explore new ideas. I've been unable to find it since - Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
I've met some people with physics and accounting degrees who took boot camps and had success, but the people I've seen succeed were already problem solvers and math-aware. They just needed to know the language and routines.

On the other hand, I dropped out of school and have been programming for a majority of my life. I was never accused of being incompetent or underperforming, but there was a point in my career where I was not going to progress without deeper math skills. That said, it only takes a couple years to learn.

Malware on the Google Play store seems fairly common.

This article from Malwarebytes reported on a family of malicious apps with over 1M downloads: https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2022/11/malware-on-th...

This paper analyzed 1238 malicious apps grouped into 134 families: https://people.ece.ubc.ca/mjulia/publications/GooglePlayMalw...

An attacker who can steal these private keys can get malware uploaded to the Google Play store. Getting malware uploaded to Google Play is way easier.

And if Samsung's private key is stolen, I would certainly not be inclined to trust their Galaxy Store.

Now is a great time to go through your phone & uninstall apps you don't use or don't trust -- especially bloatware from the compromised OEMs. If I understand other comments in this thread correctly, the stolen keys allow the thief to escalate privileges from "ability to issue an update for a random app you have installed" to "ability to root your device".
> I could be mistaken, but TrustCor CA is company C. TrustCor (company B) is where rouge contractor allegedly added "malware", or in industry parlance, analytics software, to a product as part of work to instrument the app that never shipped publicly and thus never harmed users.

> Anyway I don't believe it's correct to say Company B that "put malware in" their app is the same as Company C that operates an above board CA.

You are mistaken. There is no Company C.

The company that put the malware in their app is MsgSafe.io, a "secure email" provider that advertises E2EE but doesn't actually provide E2EE. MsgSafe is owned by TrustCor. Again, this is something that Rachel readily and repeatedly admits in the email thread, for example in her 18 November email:

> Also, I will use "our company" when speaking of TrustCor (the CA operator) and MsgSafe (the email service).

MsgSafe may technically be a different company from Trustcor in the same sense that Google and Alphabet are technically different companies, but Rachel considers them both together to be "our company."

TrustCor/MsgSafe, Rachel's "our company," is Company A.

Company B is Measurement Systems. Measurement Systems is the company that provides the malware to app developers, not the company that put the malware in in their app. As quoted in my previous post, Rachel admits that TrustCor and Measurement Systems had the same investors. According to public records they still have the same investors. Rachel claims that the previous owners have since divested, but (1) this is not reflected by public records and (2) she is unable or unwilling to provide any documentation of it. Also as quoted in my previous post, Rachel admits that TrustCor/MsgSafe's app contained Measurement Systems' SDK.

> to a product as part of work to instrument the app that never shipped publicly and thus never harmed users.

This is false. The app, although in "beta," was available on the Play Store and linked from MsgSafe.io as well as publicly advertised from the MsgSafe.io twitter account.

> Furthermore, this entire thing is predicated on an allegation that because some piece of analytics malware appears unobfuscated in their app but obfuscated in others, they must have exclusive access to the source and therefore must be the authors. That's.. quite the leap. I can think of many other simple explanations for why the incorrect build of some software might appear in a software product.

No, it's not. There are various other pieces of evidence tying TrustCor/MsgSafe to Measurement Systems, including domain registrations and common investors.

> And I'm beginning to question whether this software the opportunistic researches found is actually even malware in the first place.

This, now, is truly absurd. The Measurement Systems' malware SDK captured and uploaded information including wifi router SSID and MAC, the phone number and email address associated with the device it's running on, the device IMEI, clipboard contents, and GPS locations [1]. There is no good-faith argument that can be made against it being malware.

Just the second part in this case. Specifically because the customers for Apple products are those who want Apple making these decisions for them.

People buy into Apple for a certain security that the company does its best to vet the store contents. Stepping on their ability to do that diminishes the product value for the intended consumer.

Hit or miss really. Like anyone hiring is difficult but I wouldn't shy away from hiring someone with a bootcamp experience
The companies who have hired them successfully (that I know of) tend to understand two critical things:

- You have to have an environment where they can learn
- You have to have staff who can actually mentor them up

If you don't have either of those (which many startups don't, just due to not simply having the time/bandwidth) then hiring them can be detrimental.

So to answer your question: I know a few, but these companies that can do it are few and far between, and that's the dirty secret here unfortunately. The schools themselves seem to select for "can we place this person here and get our money" rather than necessarily where they can grow.

This is like a fake very fragile layer of cells cultured on a membrane. It’s good for preliminary data but it needs follow up data in vivo.

Caveats off the top of my head-

1. Your real gut is massively more robust than Caco-2 cells grown as a monolayer on a support. You’ve got blood supply, lympathic system, villi and connective tissue, layer upon layer of cells covered in mucus- just a completely different ballgame.

2. Rinse aid would first go through your stomach, exposed to acid, be absorbed maybe, have pancreatic secretions added to it, have food with it and all the lipids, very long list.

3. What’s the concentration of rinse aid you actually absorb from your dishes? 1:20,000 doesn’t seem like enough dilution to me but maybe they address that.

Nevertheless I won’t use rinse aid again. :) It’s not necessary for my dishes and it isn’t even worth the cost.

Sure. US law, particularly Section 230, makes it very clear that social networks are not common carriers. Section 230 indemnifies them for liability when moderating material that is "obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected".

These actions that would be explicitly forbidden for a common carrier to perform; as such, we can pretty conclusively state Congress never intended to apply common carrier status to places like Twitter.
I have heard that early classes from bootcamps tend to have great people, while the later classes are both more "dillute" in terms of raw talent and more starved of instruction time (as the bootcamp pinches pennies to make a profit).

I have worked with bootcamp grads who are amazing engineers and ones who are terrible, same with ivy league CS grads.
I’m working on a website for intermediate learners to practice by reading and listening, including Japanese, and Japanese is my strongest second language so I can answer a bit about why it’s so uncommon.

Japanese is just really, really hard for computers to deal with. The only reason I got parsing and word segmentation to be pretty good was because I was so familiar with the language and wrote a 3000 line post-processing function on the tokens to get reasonable results. We have a few similar post processing steps like one to better handle separated verbs in German but it’s nothing compared to what we needed for Japanese.

Additionally Japanese kind of breaks our word model, despite being aware of it and planning for it from the start and every part of the app needs special logic to support Japanese properly.

It’s a lovely language, honestly my favorite language I’ve spent time with, but it’s non-trivial to handle it in general with code.

Happy to answer any questions and also, self-promo: https://polyglatte.com for my project. Happy to make improvements to better support you / the intermediate reader use case, just let me know.
Compared 2016-2019 with 2020-2022 and found some difference.

It was a very small sample, but other than that, I think there have been a lot of changes, especially for young people, since 2016. The rise of hyperpolarozed media, tiktok and other weaponized attention / outrage engines, all sorts of weird culture war stuff. I'm nowhere near that age so I don't know how they were affected, but the government imposed restrictions aren't all that happened. It would be interesting to compare with places that handled covid more sanely and see if the same effect is observed
Not meant as one I guess but this reads like a poem.

This looks interesting to me, but I've been looking for a language learning app that goes beyond flash cards and SRS as its core teaching concept. SRS is great for learning individual vocabulary in a vacuum, but kind of falls apart when you need to teach bigger concepts like number systems, grammatical theory, or conjugation rules. If you've already been taught the rules, then an SRS app like Wanikani can be a really great supplement to that, but it's not going to serve as a full learning experience.

This is where I find Duolingo and its imitators really frustrating, and I've been looking for a higher-effort product that actually uses subject-appropriate teaching strategies, and not treating SRS as a silver bullet.

The "puzzle" feature here looks interesting, so I'd like to see how integrated it is with the concepts, vs. being another view onto "word <-> translation" and SRS.
We did something simpler in the same spirit, borrowing from poker rules. When you attack, you must reveal, but as the defender, you can remove your own piece without revealing what it was (even if it would have been the winning piece, although removing a winning piece is very seldomly of actual strategic value). Even this slight tweak goes a long way towards spicing up the game.

One would certainly hope. But until we know how these private keys were stolen, I would be suspicious of any updates signed by the affected organizations. If they just rotate the key without improving their security, the new key could get stolen too.
I am currently in academia, I have tenured offers and I am thinking about industry for the same reasons as the OP.

I actually found his description to be a really accurate diagnosis of the issues that plague large organizations.

Big corporations will be the same, but small startups won't because due to their size and age entropy is low. Chains of command are short. There is little room for politics.

Of course, startups have lots of other issues. Long working hours and job insecurity. There is no free lunch. Management is hard.
Of course, yes!
In europe it's normal to keep working after employer-side contract terminations.

In Denmark, depending on how long you've been with the company your employers contract termination notice period can be anywhere between 1 month (after 5 months with the company) to 6 months (after more than 8 years and 6 months with the company).

Also, most commonly, if the employee is the one terminating the contract, the notice period is 1 month (although it can be negotiated higher for key employees).

It is understood that your motivation will plummet when you're terminated, but you're still expected to maintain your responsibilites, and eventually, hand over your obligations. But you're also allowed to go to interviews during and if you get a new job your own 1 month termination warning will count.

I've experienced that some employers will offer garden leave to the affected employees, as in they don't have to work or show up daily, but they will hand over responsibilites immediately and be available if there's any questions.

The rougher The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect by Roger Williams is also worth trying:

http://localroger.com/prime-intellect/

Also A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge, and Ken MacLeod's Fall Revolution series. The latter can be read out of order; I read The Cassini Division before any of the others. Excession by Iain M. Banks is also one of my favorites, though it has a significant learning curve if you haven't read any of his Culture books before. All of these have things to say about runaway technological change and superintelligence. They all have a high "sensawunda" index, for those who recognize this old SF fan term.

[1] I have read and enjoyed most of Stross's output, but it has a lot of thematic variations and someone who loved Accelerando may not care for e.g. Rule 34.
