Just because there are degrees of murder doesn't mean any level of murder is acceptable.
There is literally no point to "investing" in modern commercial IT cybersecurity. It is all a bunch of useless junk that is incompatible with creating systems with any meaningful security. The big banks are spending hundreds of millions to billions of dollars a year on that junk and their cybersecurity teams know they can not even stop small teams with a million dollar budget. Literal kids fresh out of college at the banks manage more money than that.

That is literally the case across all industries in every field in every area with big tech being no exception. Almost certainly everybody you have heard about does not and has never had the slightest clue on how to protect against economically motivated, professional criminals; the kinds of attackers that are now commonplace and are expected to attack every commercial system in the modern threat landscape.

This is not a problem of underinvestment, it is a problem of structural incompetence. Systems need to verifiably survive red team pentests with multi-million dollar budgets with exactly zero discovered vulnerabilities before we are even in range of reasonable solutions. Any standard lower than that is inadequate to demonstrate resistance to commonplace attacks and is not even worth discussing.

I wonder what this will do the stock of Infosys, and whether it will affect their reputation. And did they really develop it from scratch, or did they deploy an existing system, which then required custom work?

My understanding is that further than just using software, the software is optimizing to increase maximum profits for the industry by causing a cartel block of people who won't lower prices.

Any individual can go out there and build a model for the rent price, the issue comes in when that model is able to coordinate everyone to keep the prices high and discourage competition/undercutting.
> I’m in the same ballpark as Alexander Yastrebov’s Go version. His solution looks similar to mine: break the file into chunks, use a custom hash table (he even uses FNV hashing), and parse temperatures as integers. However, he uses memory-mapped files, which I’d ruled out for portability reasons – I’m guessing that’s why his is a bit faster.

I am curious, can it be made even faster than this?
This fits the bill for terrorism in my mind, it is an intentional act to directly affect the people of a nation, and if it causes even one death it becomes way more likely the law will see it as such. Who knows when (one of these events will eventually cause a response from fed) cyberattack becomes synonymous with terror attack, though. Could be this one, could be the future (hypothetical) attack on Fox News or CNN, could be someone turning off the sewage treatment plant for DC, one of them will ruffle the right feather, eventually.

Amazing piece of software and investigation into temporal dithering in the non-Intel macs. Thank you!
This is not what is wanted. What's wanted is the better options that previously existed. You've pointed to an often useless but in the best case substantially worse option.

This isn't difficult. Keep the better thing running and run the new showy thing in parallel for whomever wants that.

> So they were not "Musk puppets". If they had been, they would not have been capable of pushing back at any time.

What the board could have done counts for very little, if anything. All that matters is what they did (or in this case, did not) do.

> Why was the deal assumed to be unfair?

That's what Delaware law/precedent requires given the facts of the case. The judge found Musk to be effectively in control of the company for the purposes of the transaction, which made it a conflicted-controller transaction. Under Delaware law, those types of transaction are subject to the highest level of judicial scrutiny - the "entire fairness" standard - where both the process (how the deal was made) and the price (the terms of the deal) need to be proven fair.

By default, the burden of proof rests on the defendants (Musk/Tesla, in this case), but Delaware law allows the burden of proof to be shifted to the plaintiffs by using a well-functioning committee of independent directors and/or through a fully-informed stockholder vote (IIRC the opinion says either one suffices, but I've seen commentary that seems to state both are needed, so I'm not sure what the exact conditions are).

The judge found that the compensation committee was not well-functioning and that the directors on it were not independent. In addition, she ruled that the shareholder vote was not fully informed due to material deficiencies in the proxy Tesla sent out. As a result, Musk/Tesla failed to meet the requirements to shift the burden of proof. If they had succeeded in shifting the burden of proof, the deal would be assumed to be fair, and the plaintiff would need to show the deal was unfair.

> And how could anyone prove that a deal was fair?

They'd need to show the process and the price were fair. The former includes looking at the initiation, timing, structure, negotiation, and approval of the process, and while the latter does seem vague in comparison it seems to involve showing the court that the price paid falls within a range of fairness.

In fact, Tesla faced the same challenge of proving entire fairness during the SolarCity acquisition and succeeded. They showed that the price they paid was fair (enough), and despite flaws in the process there were enough elements of fairness in the process to avoid dooming the deal.

Ask HN: How do I stop being such a doomer?
I am a late 20s male who feels like the world is constantly crashing in on him.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not depressed or anything because I'm still functional and spend a lot of my time coding and learning data structures and algorithms so I can secure a high-paying job as a software engineer, but with the threat of AI replacing developers on the horizon, I feel like time is running out.

I know I'm not very intelligent because if I were, I would've figured my life out a long time ago and become rich like all these crypto and NFT kids... It's insane how there are so many scammers out there selling courses on bullcrap like high ticket sales, sales funnels, dropshipping, O*F* management, etc., seemingly making money without effort, and I'm just here trying to bust my ass for a long shot at a FAANG job.

I didn't go to college because I didn't get any financial aid (long story I don't want to get into, but in short, my parents didn't want to give me their info for FAFSA), and I broke into the tech world around the time ChatGPT came out, so the job market is pretty rough for newer developers like me.

In short, I guess I just feel like I got a very late start, but the timing seemingly couldn't be any worse.

Anybody else feel similarly? Any suggestions for how I can stop being this way?
In 1988, IBM had similar qualities.
Yes, I didn't break them out but I do consider some types of basic filtering to be legitimate because they're both common across cultures, and their limits can be described fairly precisely. These are things such as prohibitions on political, ethnic or religious conflict, criminal activities, nudity, and of course, copyright.

Actually, treating censorship of those things as the default global level of censorship makes the difference between restrictive sites like Wikipedia and the rest of the Internet even more stark.

It's almost unimaginable that YouTube would remove a creators content simply because they thought the topic was irrelevant, or the quality too low. So I agree we can't have a true free for all online. But the distinction between the large group of UGC sites that really try to cultivate and protect their creators from those that don't is reflected in the popularity and growth rates of them all.
This is when HN is at its peak. Duly noted!
Japanese-made sounds like made by Japanese people in any country.
Polish person here, this is very true. Our prescription system is extremely centralized, there's no such thing as a paper prescription any more. When a doctor gives you a prescription, you get a four-digit code. The prescription can be redeemed at any farmacy by giving them the code and your national identification (PESEL) number. If this system goes down, there's no access to prescription medication, to anybody, anywhere in the country, period. Even an emergency government authorization to use paper prescriptions wouldn't help here, as a lot of people are on "long-term" prescriptions. They go to a specialist once a year or so, get a prescription for a year's worth of drugs, and then go to the farmacy every month to get their monthly refill. There's no way we have enough doctors to get all the long-term prescriptions correctly and quickly re-issued on paper when the need arises.
It’s ok, it’s easy to imagine who you’re talking to online in the worst light, or to externalize your frustrations with others beliefs onto other people.

I have a lot in common with your cousin: I had long hair, I skated, I had “out there” beliefs that my family encouraged or at least tolerated. My community typecast me as a pot smoker or a punk or a hippie, when the time came to it, I was like “hell yeah I’m gonna get high, everyone already thinks that I do anyway!” Unfortunately that set me down a bad path, and I’ve been insanely lucky and dodged a lot of bullets that could have severely fucked my life up.

For what it’s worth, my parents did a great job of saying “we will absolutely not tolerate you doing drugs, but we will give you the freedom to do your thing, and when you fuck up, we will ground your ass into oblivion.” I think that having that as a threat gave younger me a lot of good reasons to think about what I was doing and to do it in a more responsible way than some of my friends whose parents were more hands off with things.
If your mail processing agent can lie about the address it's sending to, it can lie about the contents too, so there's no need for steganography. Though it's hard to imagine a realistic scenario where it can lie to you so completely but still needs permission to send an email, so I'm not sure what you're doing here.

Sometimes this kind of event is the trigger to design a more human-efficient process.

For example, if it goes on longer, the FDA might allow the majority of drugs to be sold directly on online marketplaces like Amazon without a prescription. That would remove a huge amount of paperwork and doctors appointments for a massive number of people.

Let's be honest, the majority of prescription drugs don't have an abuse risk.

Audit is not a foolproof guarantee that no fraud exists, the same way that locking your door doesn't guarantee that no crime exists. It deters opportunists by making crime more difficult and onerous.

In this context, they're just making sure the answer isn't "no, it's not encrypted". Sure, you can lie, and that would fool them. But your answer will be cross-checked with other employees, maybe with other documentation if those exists.

And sure, you can forge all of those as well, as Marsalek did with his bank statements. But these sort of verification significantly raises the bar to how difficult it is to commit fraud: you now need to get several people into the conspiracy to forge those documents and audit trail. Your average employee isn't willing to lie for their company for no good reason and risk prosecution, and may very well whistle-blow on you.

Repeating the same things without additional explanation or arguments doesn’t really progress the discussion.

Slavery is involuntary and unpaid, so it wouldn’t be that.

The form of indentured servitude that was outlawed a long time ago was also involuntary, so it’s not that either.

Would you have a problem with someone taking out a bank loan to travel to Mars, and then working there to pay off the loan?
I guess one big difference is that Northern Ireland would probably vote to join Ireland instead of just being independent from the UK. Not sure if that could impact EU’s stance.

‘Getting’ new territories from a non-EU country sounds even worse than allowing a chunk of a member state to become an independent country.

on further consideration, i think that interface requires about one and a half blocks of code to implement. this interface would be more useful and have a simpler implementation

open ( d -- flag ) create file d, size 0 blocks, returning 0 if ok
extent ( d -- u ) return the number of blocks in file d, or -1 if none
delete ( d -- ) delete file named d if it exists
extend ( d -- flag ) append a block to file d, returning 0 if ok
filename ( c-addr u -- d ) convert ASCII filename to a double number
.filename ( d -- ) print the filename d
file ( u -- d ) return name of the uth file in the directory or 0
maxfiles ( -- 50 ) return the maximum valid file index
index ( d u1 -- u2 ) return the block number for block u1 of file d
No because the population skews younger.

Ok, so the answer is marketing, but there's a long story. There were so many failures of X-ray lithography that it was easier to name it EUV. Sorta like you don't have nuclear MRI for medicine. They choose to emphasize the 3D Imaging over the n-word.

One can get quite small even with DUV (193nm ArF) by using high NA (water immersion) to get 1.3-1.4x better resolution (wavelength scales with index of refraction). That along with multi-patterning (which puts limits on the design layout, but allows 2-4x tighter pitch) can get you down to a pitch of about 65nm (single patterned) or 10-20nm (multi-patterned). However, the whole idea of pitch for the gate length falls apart around here and 40 is basically the same pitch as 65 with transistor packing tweaks, and 28 is the last "analog" node. By the time you're multi-patterned bellow 22nm, you're using fin-FETs and the scaling is totally broken (some would say made-up by marketing). That's how TSMC's 7nm was the same pitch as Intel's 10nm. Quad multi-patterning's poor yield finally broke the long dominance of 193nm, but it was cheaper than X-rays for about 20 years (and a lot of bankruptcies).

The use of the name EUV with 13nm wavelength and now immersion EUV, which allows 2-3nm without multi-patterning is meant to evoke the extension of lithographic techniques rather than the revolution X-rays implied 20 years earlier. Note that it's still so expensive that only a few critical layers are patterned with EUV. Double patterning will double the costs (half as many layers patterned per stepper per hour) so all the old tricks will come out again. Transistors will evolve again with nano-sheets and GAA to reduce leakage at even closer spacings. We should get below "2nm", but you're not talking about gate or metal dimensions anymore, just peak transistor density is ~400x better than 40nm (1M/mm2 vs 400M/mm2).

When you're selling $100M pieces of equipment in a field wit decades of history, names matter.
I've been screaming this for years: there was never a rational reason not to buy off-the-shelf solutions. This problem is identical to those faced by thousands, even millions, of other organizations. The solution has been developed and refined for decades. Why should a single school district try to reinvent the wheel from scratch? There must have been bribes and kickbacks involved, as there is no other explanation for them choosing this path over utilizing existing solutions. It's astounding that people haven't been imprisoned for this yet.
I think there's a lot of quiet classism going on in this thread, and it's easier for these guys to just drive by and hit the downvote button than to actually speak their mind and tell us why they think poor people -> criminals.

The causation more likely goes the other way: When an area gets the reputation of being higher crime (because of reality or because of bias from more police saturation), that area becomes cheaper to live in, and poorer people can then afford to live there.
THe nice property of terrorist attacks is that the terrorist groups need somebody in the country where the attack actually happens. You might be too late to catch them, they might commit suicide etc, but in general, that property makes law enforcement work a whole lot easier. With ransomware, even if you can say with 100% certainty that Dmitrij Smith from St. Petersburg did it, this still doesn't get you any closer to putting said Dmitrij smith behind bars in the US. It's highly likely that you can't even interrogate / surveil the suspect, making it that much harder to see if they were acting on their own and out of pure greed or on government orders. And that's if you know who did it, cyber attack attribution is complex, and you often can't say anything with certainty.
Nothing in this article really that hasn't been said clearly in 3 or 4 major pieces in the last month or so.

Probably not - in applications, heuristics/approximations and "probably true" are king. And in this case the relevant approximations have been known for decades at least.

That's a very different beast to the game mathematicians play, which demands rigorous proof (or at least a fairly close social version of it, it's turtles all the way down).

I just tried the free trial (1GB, 1 year, nice and thanks!) and this is pretty impressive software. I like the mobile app: it's snappy, and Just Works. Obviously, I couldn't fully test it because I have many gigabytes of photos on my phone (which is a problem I'm trying to fix!), at least not without going out of the free trial range. Also, uploading all that stuff takes time, and I'm not sure I want to share all that personal stuff with you fine folks, even though you seem to have your house in order.

Which brings us to self-hosting, of course: really nice that the server is open source! I found ente first through f-droid when the app landed there but put it aside because the server was closed-source then. But wow, really nice design! I like the docker-compose just shoves a minio in there, really neat and probably how I would build something like that myself if i would start from scratch.

Compared to photoprism and immich, for sure server-side machine-learning is missing, but then that's obviously a tradeoff you must live with if you want E2EE.

As I mentioned in the goodbye note, I won't be using this short term because I do need to have something on my desktop I sync photos with that's not a bulging pile of Chrome (AKA "electron"). I really appreciate you spent all that energy writing those apps, but I really need something more lightweight on the desktop.

Right now I'm syncing photos with git-annex, and I wonder if ente could be a "special remote" there, even, but for now this is not really compatible with my workflow.

But congrats on this tool, it looks really nice and I'm likely going to recommend this to friends and family as a hosted solution.
