Hackers stole...

Often when these things happen, the reports make it sound like some amazing feat of technical engineering. But...

> LastPass CEO Karim Toubba said the intruders took a copy of a backup of customer vault data by using cloud storage keys stolen from a LastPass employee.

Ah, there you have it, the good ol' careless human vulnerability! I understand such breaches from ordinary companies, with employees roaming around coffee shops with their work laptops full of these keys, nicely shielded from the world with unbreakable secrets like "Password1", but I'm baffled that security focused ones would also be caught with their pants down like this. Keys stolen from an employee? How? Were they mugged? Why didn't they think this was a possibility? Their entire business revolves around them being ten times as paranoid about this sort of things as the rest of us.
No I think a lien or similar on a reasonable asset isn't really funny money.

In my experience it is common to meet managers who think they have far more data than is really the case. What data they do have tends to be inconsistent due to changes in processes and program changes. This is particularly gruesome when a migration between ERP systems had been undertaken or after a company merger or even reorganization.

It is impossible for a data scientist to reliably identify the data problems of a prospective employer during the interview stage. The biggest companies often have the messiest data. But you would need to talk to the IT staff in the trenches to discover that fact.
It a jab at Linux/PC.

Apple's completely vertical stack means that their machines never have issues sleeping. The huge variety of machines that Linux (and Windows) is expected to run on can cause problems entering S-states reliably. This issue is pretty uncommon (excluding the Windows modern sleep disaster), but that doesn't prevent comments like the GP throwaway.

Honestly if that's how a co-founder treats potential employees and their working relationships, that to me is a reflection on who they are as a person and the culture they'll end up building, which isn't one I'd want to be a part of.

I'm a data science hiring manager. Other things besides just the raw academic credential (a PhD which wouldn't typically be in "Data Science" anyway, i.e., even the PhD's are just Data-Science-adjacent) are publications, conference appearances/posters, generated data products/pipelines, and contributions to relevant software. (For me, in that approximate order.)

I'd work on building some of those, because you do need to stand out against the field @MonteCarloHall described. (Software engineer + undergrad math/stats)

Those kind of achievements would satisfy screening filters. Then of course you'd have to have knowledge to back that up. I think it's reasonable to say that typically this will be domain-specific, e.g. you would end up with a different background knowledge base for NLP than for spatiotemporal problems than for network/graph problem domains. With all the growth has come specialization.

"Why do we allow smoking but are scared of low dose radiations? "

Because smoking is not mandatory for everyone, but a individual choice and you can sue people, whose smoking effects other people.

Radiation effects everyone.

And no one is scared of low dose radiation, but it is a symptom of what can happen.

Chernobyl was just one incident. Going 100% nuclear and with people still being people, this would mean more accidents, more radiation, more cancer.

It's not an either/or question. Both will likely be a part of our energy plan. We're going to need plenty.
The fact that Rust lets you use managed programming patterns completely safely, with zero runtime overhead compared to C or C++, makes managed languages less compelling.

It seems there is a niche market in this...
> As for coffee grinders, I've got a Eureka Mignon and machines like that are expected to last a few decades easily, with a little bit of maintenance. If you buy the $99 stuff, well...

All the fawning over the Niche Zero grinder does my head it - its using a crappy brushed DC motor and a plastic gearbox more akin to the quality of a $100 sunbeam conical burr grinder I had.

And like my Sunbeam grinder the gearbox will likely start to get very very noisy after 10 years of heavy use, not to mention needing new brushes at some stage which aren't user replaceable.

But hey, one youtube guy said some good things about the Niche so it must be the best!

People say this kind of thing all the time but I'm yet to see an internet scammer get their comeuppance. That includes people who have been identified after running exit scamming darknet markets. My guess would be that when it comes to online fraud, people are more willing to swallow it because it doesn't seem so real.
Yeah. What primary discussed in Japan is to restart existing stopped nuclear plants with safety fix. It's far more make sense than planning new plants. Some analyst say that restart helps developing world after uklaine because Japan buy much LNGs for generation.

Yup. I saw your post about Gilgamesh, and I figured.
This has nothing to do with worldviews. It's just that a statement like this:

> If I were to make a list of my top-10 problems, corruption would be near the top. None of the cases I've seen involved money laundering.

rather clearly reveals your lack of understanding of the topic at hand. The fact that you think this has anything to do with political polarization is another clue that you have no idea what you're talking about. Your repeated attempts to anchor all of this to your personal experience are also quite revealing with respect to both your bias and lack of grounding in the subject.

And this isn't about your conclusions being wrong - it's just that you (and people like you) seem to form absurdly strong opinions when you don't even have the slightest clue regarding why things are the way they are.

Btw, since you are now pretending that you were this intellectually eager person just trying to have an honest discussion and I somehow poisoned the exchange, let me remind you that this was your first contribution:

> If I were to list my top 10 problems in life, money laundering would not make the list.

Which, of course, is combative, dismissive and arrogant. Why on earth is your personal list of "top 10 problems in life" relevant to any discussion? Who the hell do you think you are? It's the type of response that immediately signals lack of interest in learning anything, which you have since confirmed.

I personally don't think so. The deleterious nature of smoking is pretty severe and leads to a lot of problems that don't just affect the individual.

Smokers are more likely to contract (and spread) tuberculosis, for example. They are more likely to die early due to one or more expensive diseases that tax the healthcare system. Also, the fact that they smoke influences other people to do so!

So, I would say, yes, cigarettes are degenerate. Society needs to grow out of such vices.
I use a secret algorithm + common salt that I can perform mentally to derive more-or-less unique passwords from service provider names. I don't trust any password manager, and this gives me the convenience of knowing my password across devices.
> Unions don't control productivity

Of course they do. They're not mindless automatons. They're in the position with the best view of where productivity choke points are, and how to fix them. They can also run seminars to improve the training, and can help find positions where the unproductive members can be productive.

I'm sad I even have to point this out.

I've never heard of it. The Starbucks strike has been in the news in the last week, and the union offered nothing whatsoever but threats and demands.
"Zero knowledge means that no one has access to your master password or the data stored in your vault, except you. Not even LastPass."

That definitely cannot be true since they were storing URLs in vaults unencrypted. Seems like a class action lawsuit waiting to happen.

> Or maybe the keyboard layout isn't yet set when the password is entered (example: full disk encryption password at boot) and you risk that a user is entering a password at install time, but what they write at boot is actually different.

This is a very good point, which already made me struggle when setting up new computers. For instance, the Ubuntu installer runs in a Gnome environment with my keyboard layout active. The disk encryption prompt runs shortly after the BIOS screen and will likely have some US keyboard layout. If you choose anything special for your password, you'll have a hard time figuring out how to type it in a different keyboard layout.
I've had a lot of people request SMS or messenger-type app support for Postcard. I realize the HN crowd generally is less in favor of SMS, but it seems that there's a big group of people that use SMS/messengers exclusively.
I never once noticed that until now, huh.
Well, I don't need the freedom to smoke. So, by having that freedom "taken away", what have I lost?

I'll gladly give at least that one thing up to live in a society of healthier people.

Er no. Just saying we shouldn’t be in awe of people because they have money and can make more of it, like this is a societal service they are performing. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn’t, sometimes it is the opposite.
This is fantastic. I remember having a requirement for this on a project some 2 years ago. The devs didn’t know how to do it easily and as always, they had bigger fish to fry. Glad to see this exists now.

Would this work with React Native too?
Very interesting post, thanks for sharing!
So simply plan really, overbuilt massively on renewables. Then build a while bunch of storage. And then also have inactive low utilization natural gas plants and infrastructure.

Germany will spend like 40 years building this massively complex production system with massive overcapacity of solar and wind, quite a bit of storage, natural gas backup and lots and lots of distribution networks to move around power everywhere requiring a massively complex to operate country wide grid.

Man o man, France in 70/80s solve the same problem with 60 technology and it took them less then 20 years. The mostly build the nuclear plants on sits of existing oil plants and didn't even need to make their grid complex. And they didn't even want to produce green electricity, they did it by accident.

Really hard to see what the better plan is. Germany could have literally had 100% green energy by now if the 'Energiewende' had gone with nuclear, but instead they will spend the next 20 years shutting down their remaining nuclear, then shutting down all their remaining coal, and also building more gas plants.

Brilliant plan really.

The way Linux works, NFS unfortunately has to be in the kernel to achieve reasonable performance.

ChatGPT Sensitive Areas
There are topics that make ChatGPT uncomfortable (metaphorically); you can see when it puts a boilerplate disclaimer on every response as well as evading specifics.

So far the broad areas I've discovered seem to be:

- Anything infringing on the health care industry
- Anything that might offend a business or corporation
- The finer points of translating the writings of Mao Zedong

So, regarding the last one, what I really wanted to know is in this document, how a "new cultural force" was expressed, if it was originally in Chinese characters:

https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/selected-works/volume-2/mswv2_26.htm

...and how/if it was different in characters or in concept from the usual term for the later "cultural revolution" which ChatGPT thinks is 文化大革命.

...and assuming it was different, what kind of historical connections there were from Mao's perspective and that of other peoples'

The original meaning is "someone who builds machines, particularly siege engines, or who constructs defenses against those machines". Is that really what you're complaining about?

Perhaps you're referring to the meaning "a guy who shovels coal into a train engine"?

Apple laptops definitely have issues sleeping. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/macbook-air-m1-doesnt-s...

There's a litany of bugs in Apple's software. This often gets hidden because developers use workarounds of various sorts, but if you know, you know. It's honestly embarrassing how buggy Apple software is given the vertical integration you describe.

The worst part is that almost all of it is closed source so it's harder to debug, and the bits that are open source (and have bugs in plain sight) you can't just submit a patch to. You have to file an rdar and hope it gets prioritized, which for one of the bugs I'm aware of hasn't been in many years. And so the workarounds keep getting written.
One solution is to buy a System76 laptop. They have good support for this and good power management too.
