Full disclosure: I'm a boomer. I was raised reading books, learned how to do research using real books, and I still vastly prefer real books to their alternatives. And not just books but magazines, as well. I'm at my local library every Saturday, returning items and browsing the stacks for new reading material (new as in I haven't read it). I usually visit B&N once a month to pick up the magazines my library doesn't have but also to browse. There are only a couple used book stores left but I will still visit them every 3 or 4 months. Before Borders blew up, I'd visit them instead of B&N because they were closer. Because my library is so awesome, I don't typically buy new books because I can get them there. Yeah, there may be a wait for popular items but they can be reserved and there are plenty more available immediately.

That's me. You do you.

Such care, wow.
This, too, is a troll comment. Obviously, they're using scrypt, and so your claim upthread (and here) that they might not be doing any "work extension" is pre-falsified. Please stop trolling on these threads.
Also in making it public—even with operational security flags aside—if I’m seeing that a candidate has been through 30 interviews (arbitrary number), at a certain point it’s a flag for me about why they haven’t reached an accepted offer by that point, regardless if they’re a strong candidate.
Would you approach dating the same way? “By the way, here’s all of the dates I’ve been on in the past year and I’m currently still single”—maybe there’s a perfectly valid reason for it, but it’s still going to be off-putting to someone who you’re trying to make a good first impression on. It’s got a non-zero chance to put them in a suspicious place instead of an inquisitive or curious one, which, if you’re still looking for dates (or work), probably isn’t what you want.

Edit: I think it's the difference between "honesty" and "oversharing". It's being honest to say "I've interviewed with multiple companies and we haven't been able to come to a mutually beneficial agreement." It's oversharing to give a pile of details about each of those interviews.
I'm not sure if GOSH can actually legally block derivative works, the relevant clauses are more about claiming a royalty, not a continuation of copyright, ie:

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/48/part/VII/crossh...

"Provisions for the benefit of Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children.

The provisions of Schedule 6 have effect for conferring on Children's Charity for the benefit of Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children a right to a royalty in respect of the public performance, commercial publication communication to the public of the play “Peter Pan” by Sir James Matthew Barrie, or of any adaptation of that work, notwithstanding that copyright in the work expired on 31st December 1987."

GOSH can of course maintain a moral right as intended inheritor of the rights to approve disprove or derivative works, but as the copyright has expired I'm not sure if they have many legal rights.

(Not a Lawyer, etc. etc.)

There seems to be zero lines of code written? There are 32 repos in their github, but none with the actual product. Am I missing something?
It is also clear that few people read EULAs, so the courts should declare them invalid and apply the basic copyright law.
By "the engineering bookstore for Stanford," do you mean their visitor bookstore, the one that has a cafe and sells branded campus gear like hoodies, mugs, and pennants? Yeah, it has a TAoCP box set on the shelf, but their tech shelf is otherwise pretty small, and far smaller than their entrepreneurship and business shelves, or even the "psychology and self-help" shelf.
>You might have to pay for coffee at the office. And it may even be drip!

Uh, no. If you're paying for your own drip coffee, you're working at a convenience store, not in an office. Coffee is for closers and people who write software.
This is the flip side of the current CEO's focus on letting local stores make their own decisions. When the decisions align with your interests (like my store's excellent manga focus), it's great! When they don't, like your example of the Cupertino store, it's pretty terrible.
Where do you find a $300 M1 Mac Mini?
Sounds like you've missed my point.
Yes, I contributed a small documentation fix to a service. I'm now assumed to be a maintainer and users tag me in issues whenever the service goes down.

These issues have hundreds of replies, and GitHub has UX problems on large issues: comments you're tagged in aren't immediately visible, which discourages reporting (it may take ~2/3 minutes to expand a conversation to find and report it).

It discourages future contributions to repos I don't maintain.
It definitely feels like one of those strategies deployed when people can't actually attack the substance of an argument anymore. Basically "i ain't reading all that" but in a dress shirt
What kind of repos is this happening for? Like is it targeting personal projects, contributions to bigger open source projects, or something else?

Just wondering why you would think your comment adds any additional context to the original post? Is that a snide at communism just because you dislike it? Or are you saying that communism is the only way to solve the problems of wealth disparity and that it has failed in the past and we can never have any semblance of equality in the world?

All I see is the display of the egos and so-called philosophy of a bunch of rich "libertarian" punks who's basic MO is "I've got mine, screw the rest of you." They are as altruistic as a hungry bear.

If one of them walked up to me and said "I'm going to make your life better!" I'd have two questions: "How do you define better?" and "What's the catch?"

These are the type of people that push crypto cons and other destructive things.

They want to make the world better? Start by addressing the income disparity between rentiers like themselves and the people who actually build what they claim to have "invented".
As others already noted, this is equivalent to asymmetric hash join, except less efficient. Constructing a hash table on the fly instead of a B-tree would almost certainly be faster to both build and query. You don’t need an ordered lookup structure for join indexes (unless it’s a merge join, which SQLite doesn’t do anyway).
Definitely it's now much much harder to find 500k+ TC even at staff level anymore.

Humans do the same thing; which is to say we're also constrained by the amount of context we can hold in RAM. Those who write novels end up encoding and compressing that information into notes.

It doesn't seem to include any backoff, so any browser tab left open on that screen will keep tightlooping on it. Almost certainly exacerbating the problem.

What should my mental model be for "where" the code that causes those repetitive API requests is coming from? JS logic deployed to a CDN somewhere?

If so, seems it may be an interesting question of whether or not it's possible to ship a hotfix (add exponential backoff) to JS asset in time to be helpful in fighting an outage like this.

It boggles me how they ever decided that requiring touch screen interaction while driving is an acceptable default.

“Alert! Tap this little region of a touch screen now or else your map will be replaced with a route that you’ve had no opportunity to review.”

All of that is definitely normal and not mental at all, I wonder if there is a connection between that sort of behaviour and their dating experiences...

Also yet another dilution of the word "toxic" to now mean "someone I don't like" - at this point anyone who uses it is just an idiot.

Also the apps are predatory regardless of gender and women do engage in exactly the thing they're complaining about... But I mean, if it's so "toxic" then delete it and move on? Most of this problem exists entirely because they're on these apps, but I suspect there is a reason they're not having success by going outside with fellow humans in most cases, obviously that applies equally to both genders.

> Communism is not the only solution

It turns out communism is a fine solution to nothing at all. Communist countries have never even managed to feed themselves - they either allow some capitalism in agriculture or import food from capitalist countries.

> the real core of government policy failing is corruption

Government policy fails even with zero corruption. It's because the incentives are all wrong. Even shooting all the corrupt people won't fix anything.

> I think of capitalism like a greed/ambition driven engine

You got that right. It turns out that harnessing peoples' self-interest works amazingly well.

It seemed like 90+ or more of the traffic I ever saw at the Amazon store near me was returns, including me every time I visited.

I doubt Amazon saw those as profitable, and they either didn't track well how much my purchases (and I'm assuming others) declined when it was no longer easy to deal with a person, or decided the impending labor/unionization battles would be best avoided.

Isn't that nice that your kids want to make amends even in a small way for people who were and are hurt because of systemic issues. Systemic issues like the country being built off of rich white men and white people in general being above everyone especially black people they literally OWNED. People were actually owned by other people 150 years ago. I feel like we say this a lot but we don't appreciate how insane that is. Then the country absolutely fucked black people and minorities for the next 100 years at minimum.

Your example is minor and inconsequential. Why do you care? It's hard for me to understand why someone like you who seems like a bright and kind person to care about this stuff.

In San Jose, there used to be a bookstore named Computer Literacy. If it had to do with computers, technology, start-ups, and other related topics, this place had the books. It was truly a wonderland for book-loving geeks and nerds. I was in there a couple of times per month. Unfortunately, they charged list prices on everything, and they finally got eaten by Amazon, but while they were around, it was glorious.

Um, the assets they borrow against are invested. They run out of money if those investments are unsuccessful, or if they borrow too much.

Yeah, it is the same thing. Saying labor is what adds value is just another facet of the "Labor Theory of Value" which has been thoroughly discredited.
Also in NYC. I pay roughly 35cents per kWH (air-source heat pump) and $3 per therm natural gas (radiant heat, 95% efficient). I think 1 therm == 100k BTU, 1kWH == 3412 BTU. To equal 1 therm is takes 29kWH of electric heat costing $10.15. Then divide by the efficiency of heat pumps: $3.40 at 300% efficiency, $5 at 200%. I’ve read air-source heat pumps become far less efficient as the temps fall, so < 2x may be more realistic in winter.
Is this your opinion?
They wouldn't have to if the SEC would shut the whole sh*t show down.

You did technically use the word in your statement ("...all that money,") but you also implied that the example of James Daunt said more than "James Daunt is a good hire if you run a bookstore company," which might or might not be true.
Good point. I think it will be smart for them to post a record loss for this quarter.

Accrue a few billion for refunds, depreciate your software to zero, and start to set aside a few billion for new cloud whatever.

Basically, take this as a huge loss and communicate that you’ve lost a lot of goodwill and trying to make passengers whole is #1 priority (after safety, of course).
Oh wow, I wonder if that explains it: yesterday I saw some truly astonishing line-cutting right in that spot, to the point where I confronted one of the cutters about it after confirming with an attendant that what they'd done wasn't kosher. I thought the person in question was playing dumb, but maybe they were thoughtlessly following map directions.

Anyway, thank you very much for not cutting. It's extraordinarily aggravating to sit lined up down the highway for hours only to see someone sail in ahead of everyone via a sneaky right turn.
Hi - author of the article here. I actually did try to accomplish this attack without reverse engineering but it wasn't possible. The Google Home app would not allow you to connect to a device through its setup mode AP if you weren't using an account that was previously linked to the device (while it was online). You'd get this error if you tried: https://i.imgur.com/ipC3OhE.png

Behind the scenes you see (via MITM) that it tries to connect, but the device rejects the request because it doesn't have the local auth token (which can only be retrieved using a linked account).

This is a good design: the device owner (or any other previously linked users) are allowed to reconfigure the device while it's in setup mode if this is ever needed, but unauthenticated users cannot. And if the device owner loses access to their account somehow, they can use the factory reset button on the bottom of the device to set it up with a new account. (Unfortunately, it was broken, as I described.)

So I think the main "bug" here was the exposure of the "cloud_device_id" and other sensitive device information required to link an account in setup mode, even though it's not used by the Home app to reconnect a device to Wi-Fi. My suggested fix was simply to stop returning this info in setup mode. Last I checked this behavior hasn't changed though so I guess it was easier to make changes on the server side to fix the issue.

Btw, they later updated the Home app's UI to provide a more descriptive error message than just "could not communicate": https://i.imgur.com/ISWk4Bj.png
Well that assumes the same cardinality for both sides of the join, which may be far from the case, especially if selections can be pushed down to scans.

It’s often easier to rigorously disprove the small claims than big ones. Especially when the books author insinuates things rather than actually make bold claims.

Making a long list of everything they said that we don’t have evidence for isn’t really debunking anything. After all a broken clock may occasionally show the correct time. But showing some specific study was misinterpreted or wrong is far more direct.
China's infrastructure investments are to a significant extent work programs for Chinese laborers, whom they send overseas to build these projects rather than employ local labor. The preference for Chinese laborers doesn't play well in countries where they "invest", which diminishes the political value even more. Unsurprisingly, China ends up cancelling much of this financing debt.

> Chinese interest-free loans are frequently cancelled. And it’s widely understood that when China extends such credit lines, they are rarely ever paid back in full. Beijing was certainly not counting on the likes of Burundi, Congo or Mozambique to service these debts. And it has regularly rescheduled loans to African sovereigns worth billions in the last 20 years.

Like all web apps it depends on how much you want to do on the client side vs. the server side. With blockchain apps it is now client side vs. server side vs. blockchain side.

At one extreme, apps like UniSwap are mostly blockchain side and server side code and a little client side.

At the other extreme, it is possible to use boilerplate code to write a minimal blockchain part and then have most of your business logic on your own server and then the UI on the client side.
On a related note, there ought to be a law that forbids the use of "BUY", "GET", or "PURCHASE" for things you would not in fact own. Instead, they should say "SUBSCRIBE" or "LICENSE".

What I like about ViaMichelin’s app is that it will calculate fuel and toll cost for a route. French highways are very expensive so the longer no-toll route can be a money saver (particularly when you have a rental with unlimited kilometres and don’t mind taking the longer “scenic route”).

Sometimes it’s not even much of an increased distance, just departmental roads with a lower speed limit.

And gas/food is always cheaper off the highway, but I will admit French highway service stations do have fairly clean and free bathrooms.

I replied to "who is" with an answer.

BTW, replying to a post by adding "all" or "only" is simply being argumentative if what you're replying to did not include those words, and so adds no value. For example:

Riposte: "Not all humans are bipedal, some only have one leg!"

China's tactical missteps with their political posturing, their security bill in Hong Kong, and the major blunder of COVID, were all pure providence for western civilization. Anybody who was paying any attention was pulling their hair out watching the world sleepwalk into a completely new global hegemony, and it was just by a series of jarring red flags that the rest of the world seemingly woke up to the dragon.

I'm not saying that the dragon is no longer a problem, either, I'm just saying that the world is at least suddenly treating it accordingly.
The points you listed feel like strong arguments to discredit a book - what makes you feel they're nitpicky? i.e.

#1 is the author using a linear model where it doesn't apply,

#2 is the author first promoting a super simplistic "more sleep = better" idea and then contradicting himself,

#3 is misinterpreting a symptom as a cause

etc.

This isn't speculation about how a breach might happen, it's what an attacker can do with the encrypted data afterwards. This is well understood basic cryptography.

I think such a CEO can be excellent.

The problem with the GP’s description is that the CEO took pride in not knowing the business. A good enabler type CEO who is an outsider to the business would certainly make an effort to build expertise and even passion about the business.
