I think the students are doing more "system integration" work than your factory workers are doing with their day-to-day handling. So they're touching all of the GPIO pins immediately after shuffling across the carpet to rub 18 balloons against themselves, connecting every GPIO pin to every other GPIO pin just for fun, rebooting by unplugging the power, etc.

If the Raspberry Pi had 5V compatible GPIO and SD cards stored data permanently immediately after fsync() returns, the Pi would have been much more successful in the educational environment.
You assume that the reputation loss of leaving HackerOne is not an issue for the company.

It seems very reasonable to me that if the decision to leave HackerOne is prompted by conflict over responsible disclosure, then it is appropriate for HackerOne to disclose that fact. Including disclosing the bugs that the company was unwilling to responsibly disclose.

This puts HackerOne in the position of actually representing the interests of the hackers. And makes participating in HackerOne to be more than a meaningless publicity gesture for the companies.
This is what censorship looks like.
It’s illegal, just like the states that first legalized marijuana were. The federal government lays off, seizing a random few shipments. When your drug is on patent, it’s the way to go. Companies like Allergan set up identical process factories in Europe. They purposely don’t fill in the last set of paperwork that would legalize the factory output for export into the U.S. That’s the flimsy mechanism that lets Customs do some window-dressing regulation. Had a problem once, during the Trump Admin. Customs seized a box. I got a nasty, semi-form letter from them. My prescription was replaced at no cost by my mail order provider. They said, “It’s random. Don’t worry about it.” Cost of doing business.
I interpreted that comment as an observation “about the weather”: not defending it, just pointing it out.

There’s a parallel to that observation: these parasites are a major part of the S&P (not as much as the article claims, per another comment) which means if they decline it will look like a secular decline in the market (=> peoples’ retirement savings) which will cause vocal anguish.

That latter phenomenon is why bills like the IRA splash out so much money on the fossil fuel companies.
AI will hit medicine pretty hard, it seems to me. Everything about medicine that isn't research is mostly identifying symptoms and applying the correct "standard of care" which an AI should be very very good at.
kagi is amazing for non-technical searches. i'm going to go back to it once they figure out location-aware searches and improve results for non-technical searches.

This makes perfect sense. Taking a ship back from Europe for a couple weeks is like a built in therapy detox group session.

The way my grandfather talked about WWII was different than other folks I've heard talk about wars after. My grandfather was at peace about it within himself in a way I haven't seen since. The things he saw and had to do were no doubt just as horrific.

I drove the length of the Pan-American, and shipped my Jeep around in a shipping container.

Even back in 2008 when I did it, I met a few backpackers that had crossed the Darien on foot. You take a bus and then hitchhike as far south as you possibly can. Talk to locals, figure something out. Someone will know of a crappy boat or canoe or something to take you a few hours through the swap and then you're on land again. Hitchhike, bus, whatever until you pop out somewhere in Colombia.

Me too, but the medical system knows no matter how healthy we were when we were young, in the end we'll need the medical system in one way or another.

A few quotes from the introduction:

"With eavesdroppers, letter-openers, decipherers, telephone tappers, spies, an intercept department, a forgery department, a criminal investigation department, a propaganda department, an intelligence department, a censorship department, a ministry of information, a Press bureau, etc., the various Governments were well equipped to 'instruct' their peoples."

"There is the faked photograph ('the camera cannot lie'). These were more popular in France than here. In Vienna an enterprising firm supplied atrocity photographs with blanks for the headings so that they might be used for propaganda purposes by either side."

"There are evasions, concealments, and half-truths which are more subtly misleading and gradually become a governmental habit."

"A good deal depends on the quality of the lie. You must have intellectual lies for intellectual people and crude lies for popular consumption, but if your popular lies are too blatant and your more intellectual section are shocked and see through them, they may (and indeed they did) begin to be suspicious as to whether they were not being hoodwinked too. Nevertheless, the inmates of colleges are just as credulous as the inmates of the slums."

"War is fought in this fog of falsehood, a great deal of it undiscovered and accepted as truth. The fog arises from fear and is fed by panic. Any attempt to doubt or deny even the most fantastic story has to be condemned at once as unpatriotic, if not traitorous. This allows a free field for the rapid spread of lies. If they were only used to deceive the enemy in the game of war it would not be worth troubling about. But, as the purpose of most of them is to fan indignation and induce the flower of the country's youth to be ready to make the supreme sacrifice, it becomes a serious matter. Exposure, therefore, may be useful, even when the struggle is over, in order to show up the fraud, hypocrisy, and humbug on which all war rests, and the blatant and vulgar devices which have been used for so long to prevent the poor ignorant people from realizing the true meaning of war."

"When the people of one country understand how the people in another country are duped, like themselves, in wartime, they will be more disposed to sympathize with them as victims than condemn them as criminals, because they will understand that their crime only consisted in obedience to the dictates of authority and acceptance of what their Government and Press represented to them as the truth."
I was referring to Google in general. Youtube is one slice of what they do. And it's also infected with the same perverse and subtle incentives when it comes to advertising.
> The actual identity of Satoshi Nakamoto is irrelevant to the security, evolution, and future operation of the Bitcoin network.

I was surprised how hard that was for people to understand, last decade.

We should just have a compilation of ignorant things that important people said about Bitcoin 10 years ago.

Even nocoiners are alot more enlightened in their conversations now. Enlightened as in the goal post moved, but at least it moved.

I feel you, but running something like Kagi requires massive amounts of computing power, and something has to give. It's either we pay for the hosting costs and growth, or we get an ad-supported mess, i.e. Google v2.

They were downvoted because they're addressing what they imagine the article was about, not its actual contents.

The article barely mentions Big Pharma except in this blurb at the top. It's not an attempt to downplay Pharma profits, it's an attempt to draw attention to lesser-known players with even larger profits.

> Hospital billed $100K, insurance negotiated to about $20K

But those numbers have no relation to reality. The amount you would pay as a private individual would be something else again.

> The actual doctor only got $2-3K

Could the doctor do the procedure on the street with their bare hands? That $2k also gets taxed and pays for education (it isn't disposable). I think you are hinting that you think the worker should get much more of the profit - but I'm unsure what economic theory that is called.

I feel like "piss off a lot of people" is a general prerequisite to any substantial reform on any topic. Almost anything that requires reform is going to be at the point where it is being abused and (inordinately) capitalized on.

In my opinion, it's actually closer to its original mission than previously as it can, in its current form, be quite easily used as a main computer.

Some kids will naturally like tinkering with these kinds of things and that's where the original, cheaper model is better, but most will want a computer to accomplish a task, so the best way to get them to learn this kind of thing is to give them a practical reason to. Want to play Minecraft/Roblox/Whatever on your pi? Go ahead, you just need to figure out how to actually set that up on Linux.
They CAN do it, they just don’t want to. Same reason that BART doesn’t go to from San Francisco to the North Bay. A road network connecting South America to Central America would be encourage the free flow of drugs, crime, and human trafficking.
You don't know people who live near the margins then. Cost was pretty much the primary decider for me prior to making a decent living, so much so that I put off rotator cuff surgery for 10 years because I couldn't afford to have it done, no matter how much I "shopped around".
Good eye! I can't remember what was my initial inspiration (could have been the one you linked), but there is also a very similiar character in Pitman's typewriter manual (1893) which is featured in Barrie Tullett's Typewriter Art: A Modern Anthology.

Same for politicians. If they aren't getting shut down by the established powers they probably aren't the person you want. That doesn't necessarily work the other way, though. Trump getting opposed by many doesn't make him the right guy for the job. But Biden making his way through politics with financial and political support means he's just another one of them.
> AI which will absolutely destroy entire sectors. Not a lot of people give a shit,

A lot of people __do__ give a shit and this is a very common conversation among blue collar workers. I've heard about it every Christmas for the past 5 years from people who don't know how to google. Mass shifting in jobs has always been a big conversation but there's just a big divide between the working class where people aren't talking together as much.

We have coal miners complaining about "big solar" taking their jobs. We have the whole "just teach to code" fiasco. We have a lot of discussions about Amazon. And I can keep going. If you think this is a "suddenly care" type of thing then you're likely in a bubble or not paying attention (a different bubble).
Well, this scheme temporarily added more “supply” to the tradable market which theoretically could have lowered overall prices some amount.
The vast majority of medical care is not life and death. It is completely routine. It's getting vaccines, it's getting checkups, it's getting antibiotics for your sinus infection, it's getting treatment for sprains and strains. You're not going to be price-conscious on any of that? Do you go to the mayo clinic for your annual physical?
As it happens, most people understand easier a standard notation that can refer to, and get a book at the library, than NIH boxes and lines.

Now people straigth out of bootcamps calling themselves engineers, without having a Software Engineer degree, yeah maybe not.

Then again, they can get that book I just mentioned, and in the process maybe discover other goodies at the local library, or just ask ChatGPT.
This is fascinating in so many respects. One is it is almost like his whole career developed through a series of events attempting to escape the usual bureaucracy of successful companies.
Author of the blog post here. Yes, I agree that it wasn't Hackerone's fault and they tried their best to help.

As for the violation of agreement with hackerone, I have read the policy many times before publishing the article and even asked Hackerone about this. The vulnerability is already fixed and I haven't heard from Harvest since April 2022 so there's no point asking them as it would seem like a threat rather than an actual disclosure. An excerpt from the agreement:

> Last resort: If 180 days have elapsed with the Security Team being unable or unwilling to provide a vulnerability disclosure timeline, the contents of the Report may be publicly disclosed by the Finder. We believe transparency is in the public's best interest in these extreme cases.

What stumped me for a bit was that there was a null byte between each character (IIRC). Maybe it was some kind of Unicode encoding or specific to Facebook, I have no clue. But if just searching the string doesn't find it, look around in the dump for other strings and how they're "transformed" for a hint on what to search for exactly.
Googler here, I agree. L(n) to L(n+2) in two years is pure astronomical outlier. L(n) to L(n+1) is very difficult and can take many years. I've been stuck as a L5 workerbee for five years with no navigable path to L6. It's extremely tough and gets tougher the higher you get.

Not to dox the Google exec here (you can search her LinkedIn): But, to be fair, she seems to have an extraordinary career history. Went from presumably an entry level position at UBS to the executive class in just 12 years. Does that kind of disposition allow someone to bypass the "level gatekeeping" at Google? Maybe, maybe not. I wish I had whatever wizardry she's using.

As if the opaque pricing of colleges isn't just as baffling as the healthcare system's resulting cost situation.
I did not say I succeed, sadly. I actually have a somewhat problematic hip condition that would probably best be solved by replacement, but that seems like an irreversible decision that binds me ever more deeply into the system, which is depressing.
I assume this suggestion only applies to big orgs where juniors can get a steady stream of small, well-scoped items to tackle.

At a lot of smaller orgs I assume it's harder to do this? Where I've worked, juniors often receive exploratory items that are lower-priority, and off the critical path, but they're expected to have reduced output, as well as asking for guidance as needed from more senior members.

Perhaps this is a failure of planning (which would have been my own failing as a lead at times), as well as management
From what I learned from KSP, a high latitude launch site is helpful for polar orbit. That's why Vandenberg is used for this purpose over Cape Canaveral (or other equatorial launch sites) in the US.

It will be interesting to see how this shakes out because there are other nations participating in ESA that have both land and launch sites that are at higher latitudes than Germany's floating launch site (e.g., [1]).

This article predates Ozempic/Wegovy/semaglutatide, which is the currently popular weight-loss drug that seems to curbe not just food addiction, but other addictive behaviors as well. Focusing on Phen-fen, which was pulled from the market in 1997, it's perhaps a cautionary tale, but as of yet, Ozempic has yet to cause a rash of deaths. What it has caused is a noticable rise in Danish GDP, to the tune of $7 billion, as its manufacturer is Danish.
No disrespect intended, and you probably have good motives. I looked at those links and it still seems like the focus is on boot security, focused around ChromeOS. Regardless of whether or not the issue of "opening things up" has been talked to death in the coreboot/hackathon community (which sounds like a tactic to marginalize the enthusiast community), This is a critical topic right now for me, and i'm sure many others. Not everything is about providing security for embedded devices. I know this is an important topic for the commercial sector, but this push toward more security in the boot process seems more about locking people out of customizing their systems instead of providing security. IMHO, that is a terrible path to take if it becomes a standard for all computing, which many things seem to be heading in that direction.
I agree that Discord is bad for the forum/community use-case that has become ubiquitous on there, but the fact that Discord has ended up getting frequently misused in place of forums is not really a reason to hate on Discord itself, and apparently we would not all rather have something more persistent than Discord for useful information--otherwise a bunch of communities wouldn't still be (mis)using Discord.

Doctors are not allowed to own hospitals. That was one of the stipulations of the ACA (Obamacare).

I learned over the pandemic that a Toyota Camry Hybrid would eat its 12V AGM battery very easily. In this case, it is a deep-cycle AGM and isn't even used to start the ICE. It's "just" to run accessories and boot up the power control system that engages the much larger hybrid battery.

One such Camry in our extended family was parked for a few months and the battery failed. We got an expensive OEM replacement and tried to make sure we drove the car every week or two. It failed again in just under three years. Meanwhile, we have an entry-level Audi that also often gets only a short local trip every week or two. It is still on its original AGM battery after 6 years, and this one has to actually start the ICE.

So, I am disappointed to find that Toyota engineers could not be bothered to apply whatever basic power management logic the Audi folks did to protect the battery. Worse, the Camry has this big NiMH traction battery, and I would have imagined some clever backup strategy to infrequently top-up the 12V battery if parked too long, so it would be reliable.

In the end, I gave up and installed an old-school battery cut-out switch, so we can just disconnect the 12V battery if not planning to use the Camry for more than a few days. Every time I operate it, I'm giving the Toyota engineers a rude hand gesture in my mind.
The talk about programmatically creating these diagrams is interesting, but it would be more interesting to use this in reverse with AI. Create a C4 diagram with a GUI, programmatically factor it down to some kind of text-based format and use that as an input for a code-generating AI. Imagine rewriting vast chunks of code by just editing the structure diagram.
I agree with all you wrote. Indeed full C array out of bounds checks or avoidance would not the way to go, for reasons you mentioned. Not to mention so many other modes of memory unsafety. But it is not exactly the point I tried to make. In the example code the article presents, there was an opportunity for C to improve the language to make it safer. Instead, the compiler writers decided to make sure this unwanted optimization would not happen by making the compiler more clever and hence heavier, so as to avoid this particular case of UB when using an improved compiler. Still, the C/C++ committee would wave away any critique with: don't use this language in the wrong (UB) way and complain.
How do I host a website visitable by random people I've never met on HTTP/3 without getting the continued/periodic approval of a third party corporation for a CA based TLS cert? I can't. That's bad. It's a very significant change from HTTP/1.1 (HTTP/2 is only used by corporations/institutions/non-human persons) in the past which allowed anyone to connect to anyone. It was truly a web.

There's absolutely no way I can get my self-made root cert in the trust store of the major browsers so that a random person I've never met can connect. HTTP/3 is designed for the use cases of non-human persons. For human persons it's a terrible protocol.
You can reopen closed tabs and windows from the History menu. It will restore the state of forms, so that form state is retained somewhere (presumably memory).
