Well it has always been a cat and mouse game. Even with best intentions you will get someone discovering some sort of exploit, or some employee going rogue or forced or tricked into installing something. When ever we talked about these issues it brings me right back to the xbox 360 days and the hacking scene. It was amazing to see the back and forth between MS and the hackers and what each side would do to countermeasure the other. The one that impressed me the most was MS started making games about 8gb in length. DVD's only were only sold in 7.5gb size. Hackers learned that the games were just being padded with random useless data so learned to truncate the games and burn to 7.5gb discs again. MS learned to detect truncated games. Hackers then figured out how to flash certain DVD burners so that they would burn to the outer most area of the 7.5gb DVDs, an area that would typically not be used due to chance of increased errors burning in that area. So then you could burn a game all the way to the edge of the disc and then hackers developed a scanner to check for game errors as burning to the edge didn't work well so you would have to burn at slow speeds and really use high quality DVDs as cheap ones didn't work well. The back and forth that kept happening was so impressive. I guess my point is no matter what you try as long as millions of dollars is on the line people will find a way.
"Let's be honest, the majority of prescription drugs don't have an abuse risk."

It is absolutely disgusting, that you need a prescription for pharmacy items. There is nothing better than going into a pharmacy and just being able to buy what you need. Never had any problems in Colombia, Brazil, Russia and rarely in China.

What about people without health insurance?
Yet again we blame everyone and everything except the operating systems that have a massive design flaw baked in from the 1970s, they all rely on ambient authority to function.

A Few Social Media Influencers Are Shaping AI
Why include a bunch of facebook.com or fb.me subdomains? Surely that is redundant? Not exactly sure how this list was made or confirmed or why.

Hello, I'm Fisher. I'm a third-year CS student looking for part-time freelance/contracting work. My experience is in web dev (both backend and frontend), data processing with Python, command-line tools, and unit testing. I'm passionate about creating reliable, easy-to-use software.

If my experience aligns with your needs, please shoot me an email!
Why does the list contain so many sub domains? Wouldn't it follow from facebook.com being meta owned that weird.subdomain.facebook.com is also meta owned?
Is the murder rate easy to measure?

As best we can tell, “stand your ground” laws in states like Florida result in hundreds of deaths each year. How many of those would be considered murder in other states?

Police killed over 1,300 people last year. How many of those people truly posed an immediate danger to others, and how many were murdered by a trigger-happy cop who was not held accountable by his colleagues?

Crime, even serious crime like murder, is socially constructed. It’s not objective; society decides what’s illegal and who gets to do it anyway.
I have accounts on both. In 2018, I would visit Ancestry 80% and MyH 20%. MyH was good for post-1940 records.

Now it's ~99% A & 1% MyH. I try MyH when I can't find something on Ancestry - generally w/o luck. Most of my MyH hits are profiles from FamilySearch (probably ones that I made).

Yeah, I was all ready to go with the interpretation that Benioff is just doing lots of philanthropy, and then that happened. Also:

> When I ask Benioff about the properties in the anonymous LLCs, things seem to take a turn. He starts speaking more quickly and fidgets with a piece of paper in his hand. He's reluctant to go through the holdings, and his adviser on the Zoom call jumps in to say we can discuss later.

It would be one thing to say, with conviction "I'm not ready to talk about those just yet, but when I am, I'll get back in touch". But to get cagey to the point that your advisor interjects and changes the subject? Not great.
Every single one of these fb.me domains and subdomains resolves to the same IPv4 and IPv6 address for me (like, there is a wildcard -- it accepts any subdomain). I think this list is poorly curated.
They will be pack if you pay. The only safe payment is in fbi tracked money. then track the guilty down and put them in prison (or what ever reform program). If the country they live in won't give them up that is an act of war and send NATO in.
When I worked in investment banking 1st year analysts made pretty much the same base at every big bank. They all used the same compensation consultant, which seemed iffy.
I don't think Go has ever demonstrated that it deserved to be thought of as casually faster than Java.
Any reason to go with this over Aegis? It's not clear why I'd even want an account for a 2FA app, it feels like Aegis would be the better choice on that fact alone.
It seems like DNS for fb.me returns the same address records for any subdomain. So anything you can conceive of .fb.me is valid -- e.g., dheera.fb.me. Ditto facebook.com.
I hope it would work, but fear evictions and police intervention would be brutal enough to quash the will to fight.
I don't see how you can make computing the offset faster than just parsing the number.
That's only a valid comparison if the "fastest Java" and "fastest Go" implementations are either the same or at the limit of what each language allows.

The more interesting comparison anyway is performance of the straightforward, idiomatic code, since that's what we all write 99% of the time.

Here's the key insight from the article: "Processing the input file in parallel provides a huge win over r1, taking the time from 1 minute 45 seconds to 24.3 seconds. For comparison, the previous “optimised non-parallel” version, solution 7, took 25.8 seconds. So for this case, parallelisation is a bit faster than optimisation – and quite a bit simpler."
Maybe as a recon list for security researchers
No, since it's undirected every node has two parents
The list is weird since it's not comprehensive. Even obvious domains whose WHOIS points at Meta and uses the facebook nameservers aren't there. There must be some weird dataset these are extracted from.
It’s generally good to have an economy where you can just exchange the market price for the thing, vs. the “price” is low but the actual criteria for getting access to stuff is connections, bribes, waiting, luck, conformity, etc.
But power doesn’t, right? Happy to be corrected (please, educate me!) but I think this is asymmetric, in practice.
I have a feeling that a naive implementation in Java would be a lot worse than a naive implementation in Go so optimizing matters more there.

Had to parse csvs in Java on a very memory constrained system once... we ended up cutting out a feature because it wasn't worth it.
Email me and I’d be happy to try and help you more than this. Mine is definitely almost gone though. Conclusion is that multiple foods I am sensitive to and cause some sort of immune response/ inflammation.

Although a simple suggestion would be to search for ADHD elimination diet.

Basically I cut out everything but apples pears rice potatoes carrots fish meat olive oil salt pepper broccoli and cauliflower.
We have a proxy war in Ukrain to escalate in that case.

Please, you've been reading too much PR from the Java side and not looking at benchmarks and real-world performance enough. What you're claiming is inherently not possible, cherry-picked benchmarks notwithstanding.

To achieve this kind of speed, you need at least around 600kbps at the barest minimum for TCP ACK packets (~50 bytes), assuming that downstream packets are full-frame 1500 bytes.
It won't. Zoning is stupid and harmful in the US. But real-estate will always be rising in value. There is no way to make more land. And land you do nothing to gains value from others around you improving their own land.

A land value tax that ignores the value of improvements on the land would make a dent. Freeloaders who buy a lot just to sell it later would see their gains evaporate. So land holders would seek to actually improve their land.
Private firms think there are profits on the moon
So? Boilerplate is there for a reason, usually because previous lawsuits or decisions made it clear that that boilerplate needs to be there for protecting against specific things.

And if the argument is "its just boilerplate, the court shouldn't take it seriously", that's an argument I can get behind for something like a EULA - but not for an article incorporating a non-profit whose signatories include incredibly rich and high-profile individuals, who either had their lawyers comb over this contract, or should've done so. "I didn't realize what I was signing" is not a particularly valid excuse coming from Elon Musk.
perhaps you should amend your amendment to make directed graph clear ?

Does that solve your problem?

It seems Starbucks has changed their tune after Schultz’s departure. (Not holding my breath however) But they’ve now said they’ll negotiate with the Starbucks union and pay back pay for all workers that were cut out of the pay hikes and credit card tipping they gave all their non-union workers as an FU to the union.

The Majority Report did a short interview with one of the original Starbucks union organizers in the first store to unionize.

Read https://rewardsforjustice.net/rewards/foreign-malicious-cybe... and notice how the USG only cares if the hackers are acting under the direction of a foreign government. Hacking for profit sadly gains more acceptance as a legitimate form of enterprise each year, similar to corporate raiding. You can buy insurance to cover ransom payments. There's also hackers who hack into consumer PCs, routers, and phones where instead of holding you to ransom they just MiTM HTTPS to inject ads, rent out access to DDOSers, or let companies like Cox actively listen to your microphone. A lot of devices like Lenovo have been known to come pre-hacked before they even leave the factory. It's all above the board at this point. Rather than being treated as terrorists, the worst consequences you'll see for them usually is just a lawsuit.
> That’s ridiculous because in a single per system the government stands in front anyways.
> There are plenty of drugs in Europe doctor might want to prescribe but the government says “nope, not going to pay for it”

Not only does this happen with the current system, it’s worse, because there aren’t always explicit instructions about what will be covered - so your care depends on whether your doctor is willing to beg the insurer to provide a drug to you
The issue is, actually having that discussion becomes very hard, because a lot of 'security consultants' basically rely on the commissions they get from selling that type of inherently-creating-a-single-point-of-compromise managementware.

So all of the 'experts' you might draft in to give you helpful advice will be telling you exactly the opposite of what you should be doing, which is reducing your attack surface as much as possible; cutting down, not increasing, the number of apps installed.

And don't get me started on MDMs, which are basically a rootkit that's only as benign as the guy sitting behind the operator panel.
The Clock (2010 Film)
Wonder what show this refers to
I intentionally omitted direction from the description to avoid pedantry, because the problem I was highlighting was that "interconnected trees" is very wrong.
I think the reason why this misconception is so widespread is because there is a grain of truth in it, because almost everyone sees Java synonymous with gigantic framework like spring, quarkus etc.

In go you've got your standard libraries, these are generally quicker than the Java equivalent simply because they do less in the lifecycle of the operation.

This lets Java do funky stuff like enabling full jvm/code tracing just by adding a jar file at runtime. But it does come with a performance penalty.
Back in 2010, I used PostgreSQL for a web app that queried 270 million rows of climate data from Environment Canada:

I wanted to see how the temperature was changing over time for specific regions using a map-based interface. The following chart was particularly eye-opening:

The software won a couple of awards and was heavily optimized to produce reports in under a minute. Kudos to the author for getting a parse time of a billion records down to mere seconds.
That's not gonna work at million-scale, though.
Do you enjoy a steady supply of food, fuel, electricity, clean water, and easy communication? Do you experience very little violence in your day to day life? Are you generally free to share your opinions without fear of violent retaliation?

Is it recommending salaries?

The issue with the rent thing is that the algorithm sets a price, so collusion could easily be offloaded onto the algorithm. Something similar should also happen with salaries before this becomes a real problem right?
Correct, it didn't exist back then, because just about the only software a consumer would ever be exposed to was some kind of desktop computer. The closed model got its early start in the nineties when it became increasingly common for consumer devices to include software in their design.

Among the earliest examples of this emerging new normal in its gestational phase would be game consoles from the 16-bit era onwards. It also included just about all pre-smart cellular phones (but for occasional a rather pointless Java support), nearly all printers, nearly all camcorders, and so on. There are probably between 5 and 50 internet connected "computers" in the typical home and the typical consumer has some semblance of software control on maybe three of them.
I doubt 1st year analysts have much salary complaints.
But automated text analysis needs OCR. There's https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov but I'm not sure how good its OCR has been.
I'd definitely agree that changes like that intensify the issue!

For me as an amateur contributor, though, even the normal experience was tough - suddenly I returned to find my content removed, with a short, aggressive note, left by what wasn't a committee, or a jury, but rather a single, annoyed and tired individual, who in his seniority was somehow justified in unilaterally acting alone to delete my work, without the careful attention to detail in documents, wording, and formality which helps make real-world justice palatable. The carelessness with which he wrote made it clear that at that site, I was to be considered a person of very little value at all.

To speak more clearly, that was the social/psychological effect of it - which left me without much motivation to continue! And I think that's a wide effect - if you compare a typical 1st-time wikipedia editing experience to the more successful UGC sites, it's pretty clear they all make some effort to shield users from that (if they can) and let them feel successful, even if they aren't yet. (I know from the inside of one of these places that users get mad at for removing their creations for copyright or other reasons, all of us on the inside hated potentially frustrating a creator, and admired them for trying over and over to create something.)

Moreover, from what I've heard, there used to be more freedom on wikipedia, so the argument that "it's always been that way" might not even work.
You’re unlikely to find a good answer because it’s a very specialized skill that is mostly from experience doing it, and HN tends to self select out of that pursuit.
Regarding Java,
It probably could be done with arrays and object reuse (arenas).
But it's slightly less ergonomic.
And the ecosystem isn't designed for it, so you'd have to implement your own memory-efficient parser.
I have read Skienas book, both the second and third edition. Love the idea. There is an errata nearly every other page for the second edition. Third edition appears better...for now. Someone needs to get this man a proper editor!

I’m kind of interested in the opposite problem, what is the simplest solution using a well known library/db that approaches the fastest hand optimized solution to this problem?

Same in France, Verdun is still in our conscience and "nothing to hide" is a very badly seen opinion. Probably less than in Germany but still.
I don’t think there is an answer - one could say you’re never given complete information set and you should deduce based on what you see.

What’s impossible to deduce for some, others will claim as doable.

Reminds me of a magicians show.
The service itself is legal, but you have the difficult task of not using one client's data when working with a different client.
That’s not really true since one ACK packet can acknowledge multiple RXed data packets.
Yes, though it's also worth noting that the fastest solutions are all doing their work in parallel which is not a thing for `cat`.
Sure it's possible. The JVM can do guided optimizations at run time. There is no such thing for native executables.
Some people, like my parents, don't have a laptop / PC.
I almost missed that, will add it to my queue, azaasu! :)
And Apple has proven it will make those features exclusive to EU. And maybe even just disable those features.
I have a project for the Raspberry Pi that provides for sound localization via time difference of arrival (TDOA). In a similar manner I suppose as shotspotter.

There was a case recently in America where a grandfather was jailed for a significant part of a year based on a shotspotter localization and no other physical evidence such as gunshot residue.

If citizens in such areas run their own systems they would have a means to provide counter evidence to that provided by shotspotter. Currently they have no means to do that. Even the times of the shots they have to take shot spotters word for it.

Recordings by citizens themselves is an inherently safer approach because their sphere of influence is considerably smaller. Recordings are written to a separate partition on an SD card, it’s pretty simple to encrypt this partition as well if you like, I’ve done that.

For those who are interested each node can be made very cheaply. It will run on a Raspberry Pi zero with a 7 euro GPS. It can also run portably on batteries.

Most of those sats don't support direct to cell though. But more will come of course.

And are the spot beams for direct to cell the same in size and quantity?
When we look back at the history of the US, the one practice that stands out is slavery. Today, we can only shake our heads and wonder how so-called civilized people allowed that abomination to continue for as long as it did. How can so many people have looked upon so much human suffering for so long, without lifting a finger?

Today, we are forcing people out into the street through low wages and callous layoffs to increase corporate profits. All the while, condoning skyrocketing rents due to the commoditization of housing. Meanwhile, we provide virtually no support for homeless people. We literally leave them out to die in the street, as the article states. This attitude will likely be viewed in a similar light a hundred years from now as we view slavery today.
I frequently read over virtually all of the docs of a language to grasp the ideas the authors had. Understanding a language theoretically is more of interest for me then tinkering around with it.
That matches what I would expect. My normal continuation would be to look at the growth from 2014 til now in global internet users, and at the competitors like youtube, insta, etc. I'd expect to find that many of these sites grew 100 or 1000x, and that the global online population whose device power and internet service levels surpass some threshold has also grown by at 10x since then.

Those are all assumptions and memories from working during that time period - possibly wrong, would look up if you disagree. But if you don't, then my conclusion would be that staying flat during a period like that - when you could have grown and supported a deep, new, persuasive trend of literacy, fact-based reasoning and understanding, education and compromise - is a huge failure.
The tweet's 17 Mb/s is UDP down from satellite, so no ack replies from the phone, and 15% packet loss.

So it really doesn't say anything about upload speed.
Correct, wars only solve problems in countries outside of the US.
