I didn't move the goalposts. I was going off my recollection at the time, which was a discussion around the Rust blog post and CVE. Here's a comment from me a day ago saying "I stand corrected" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39680754).

> Nobody is making any argument that CVE count is the best or optimal metric for anything

Except, you know, Herb Sutter in the article we're supposedly discussing. He's arguing that it's possible to compare Rust and C++ CVEs and that C++ would be just as good as Rust if the CVE counts were similar. If you took the trouble of addressing the substance of my comment that Rust and C++ CVEs aren't comparable, rather than exulting in being technically correct because you found a mistake, you would have realised that.

You're welcome to assume bad faith of me, but that was the substance of my comment. I'm sorry I didn't keep in touch with every commit made to C++ compiler repos and I spoke out of turn. But I never moved the goalposts - those were always fixed on the issue that comparing CVEs between a language that takes security seriously and one that doesn't is a dumb idea.
This sounds very similar to the book

> This is at best a huge exaggeration. For one thing, roofing is not a 50-year career. If you know any 70 year old roofers, they've either been retired or moved on to other things decades ago - the toll that roofing takes on a body makes it a 10-15 year career at best.

The person who taught me how to lay asphalt shingles 20 years ago has now been doing it around 50 years. I know a number of roofers who have been doing it 20 to 25 years. The toll on the body probably isn't as bad as you think.
The NASA Pi Day Challenge
That's a pretty silly take. You're basically asserting that implementation difficulty is always the main priority, and there can never be any worthwhile tradeoffs that could offset that complexity.

But in reality, the world probably only needs a few dozen H3 implementations, just like there are only tens of production TCP stacks. But those implementations will be used by billions of people, hundreds of billions of machines, and handle effectively all data transmission of the entire humanity.

The leverage is massive, even the most minor improvements will be able to pay off any level of engineering effort.

Interesting read, from the title I figured the article was going to be about "hackers" breaching accounts and reading past conversations. I don't think reading private chats is the way to put it, more like inferring topics of discussion with some accuracy
While I agree with your general premise, I'm not convinced that remote work is the driver we should rely on. As a peer comment mentioned, infrastructure is a weak point right now, and remote work would add another dynamic that would make the situation more risky instead of less. Up front though, I should clarify I am a huge proponent FOR remote work. The rest of this is focused on why remote work should not be a foundation to build American housing on.

Prior to the normalizing of remote work and cloud computing, the infrastructure risks that a company needed to consider were related to hubs. Cloud computing moved a lot of the processing out of the hub, which is good from a risk perspective. This leaves the need to ensure the infrastructure related to workers accessing the computing is resilient.

If remote work becomes the foundation we building our cities on, we now expose our companies to the additional infrastructure problem related to internet connectivity while not resolving the connectivity issues inherent in the other grids of roads, power, and water. This is fine for companies that are natively born to this, but this is dangerous for the existing large cap companies and governments that are not.

And just as we're pushing for an increase in remote work, we are also in a period of time where our infrastructure is regularly attacked remotely.

Again, this is not to say remote work is bad. There's just a lot of transformation that needs to occur and I personally feel we should not take a darwinian approach to this when state and local governments are involved.

The instability we would introduce through this would likely lead to corporate funded infrastructure being stood up to ensure remote workers maintain access to cloud computing. I believe the company town concept [0] would make a comeback.

My main fear is that we would inadvertently create remote private corporate fiefdoms that would lead to corporate scrip [1] being used for local goods and services and non-transferable to other regions. The flexibility of remote work would, if my fears are realized, lead to a world of less flexibility than we have today. Not more.

I don't know what a better driver is though. How does one generate desire for a traditionally undesireable location?

I would say state actors, not billionaires have access to tools (TikTok) that are used to disrupt the fabric of Western societies. There is a reason why some social media tools are banned in China, and Iran - because they are actively used for psychological warfare (by China, Iran). Despite the article talking about China as well, it's just a cross-pollination of ideas across continents(they are getting the taste of their own poison).

I used to believe this is all tinfoil wackos ideas, but the last 6 months opened my eyes.
A lot of articles on this, never the truth. The truth being most women are chasing the top 10% of men. Not all women, but the internet has exacerbated this phenomenon.

I don't have high latency, I have high packet loss and high latency on some packets but most not. And that is something TCP cannot handle without breaking down totally but some UDP based protocols can handle it just fine.

Industry does far more cutting edge research. Academia is for research into interesting topics with no known economic potential value.
That sounds particularly crappy even for a US school lunch. But I don't think the numbers are right.

Even back then 50 cents a lunch for food is not a real number. Also, reduced and free lunches generally accounted for ~40% of students, and getting reimbursed for that from the federal program required pretty tight bookkeeping.
I don't think this is editorializing. Check the url "boeing-video-footage-overwrite-erased-door-plug-alaska". Basically the same as the title.

Not that Boeing's attitude toward QA does not deserve to have massive shade thrown on it, but what the hell, do you think that the QA department, likely understaffed, is staffed with precogs? They'd have needed to know something was up, which the documentation wasn't generated for to ensure. It'd traditionally be the security people who'd worry about managing security camera footage, and legal who'd generally be overseeing record retention and preservation of records in extraordinary circumstances.

I think it is always difficult to analyse why someones does something. In Psychology, behaviour is like a Feynman diagram, you can always rotate the picture and get a valid particle interaction. What is cause and what is effect is hard to tell, but yes some people steal out of a sense of justice if you can call it that.

There is no orbital debris problem in LEO. Anything in LEO experiences atmospheric drag and only stays up there for a few years unless periodically boosted. If the worst case scenario unfolded in LEO, a few thousand satellites in LEO got smeared by something like ASAT weapons and caused a huge cloud of debris that started wrecking anything new put up there, we could simply wait the problem out in less than one generation.
You're right about how density works, but I don't have it backwards:

A given mass of water:

- At 20C is less dense/higher volume than water at 4C

- As you cool it the density increases and the water shrinks

- At 4C the water is now at maximum density and minimum volume

- As you continue cooling it from 4C, it starts expanding again

- At 3C the water is lower density than it was at 4C and is again expanding

- At 0C where the water starts to transition to a solid the volume expands significantly

I guess I wasn't clear that the expansion only starts again as you go from 4C -> 0C in the liquid phase.

Replying to myself. Booster made the boost back burn successfully and had a mostly controlled flight into the gulf. I say mostly because it looked like it had some instability and met the water somewhere close to 1000km/h if telemetry was right (or went unstable just before then).

10 minutes into flight starship is coasting in space for the next 30 minutes and should relight at around 40 minutes.

Not surprising, and the article completely ignores a more systemic cause: technology, especially advanced technology like computers and AI, is making people more and more independent in general.

People simply need each other less and less. Yes, we still need each other for love and companionship, but even that is being mitigated somewhat by AI boyfriends and girlfriends, and AI therapists. True, AI right now cannot replace a human and maybe it never will, but it does lessen the need here and there. It piles upon a long tradition of replacing human beings.

And when men and women don't need each other as much in particular, they will more likely see their differences as annoyances rather than strengths.

Yes, perhaps equality, feminism, and other movements might have changed some things. And I think equality is a great thing. But what we have to put into context is that equality movements today are not about equality in general, but about making everyone has an equal an opportunity as possible in furthering technology.

Personally, I think we have long passed the point of DIMINISHING RETURNS in technology. Is 5G really going to help us more than 4G or 3G, except to feed us more of the mental drug of media to distract us from the real problems of the world? Will AI do much more than reduce the sense of value people have from their creative jobs?

The real problem is that technologists happily push advanced tech forward for the sake of their intellectual amusement and profit, and the only measure of value is short-term profit. Ordinary people simply play the prisoner's dilemma to keep up, and as a result, they have to function as cogs in a machine, divorced from the need from other human beings in a community.

Is it no wonder that the institution of men and women getting together to help each other has taken a back seat to a new and vicious battle to the top of the meaninglessness of global, capitalistic society? Yes, older societies may not have been perfect. But the new alternative is another step in the wrong direction.
Big tech is definitely not hiring like it used to. I’m not sure where you’re getting your source but big tech has been doing most of the layoffs for the last 18 months and not rehiring to fill.
My wife has gone deep on the issue of adequate lunch time in our community, working with the school, local, and state officials and PTA to try to improve this. If you’re interested in learning more she’s compiled a lot of (U.S. centric) research resources here:

-change can garner bipartisan support

Walking Phoenix: A quick retreat from an expansive hell on Earth
In my experience this is unusual, sociopaths I've met either
don't get this

Wow, that doesn't jive with my personal experiences or what I've ever read about sociopathy. It sounds more like you're describing folks on the autism spectrum.

Sociopaths (which I realize is a somewhat deprecated term) tend to be skilled manipulators because they do understand how they effect others, but don't particularly feel much guilt about it.

They also behaved pretty scrupulously most of the time, because even if you have little empathy, behaving like a creepy scumbag is generally not going to be beneficial in the long run. If you are a sociopath, you might not feel "guilty" about being a shitty neighbor or even murdering somebody, but on a purely practical level, your life will still be much more pleasant if you're friendly with the neighbors and the cops aren't busting down your door to arrest you for murder.

Or at least that's how it seemed to me. I'm just curious observer, not somebody really qualified to have an opinion...
If the only idea was to help home-owners keep their homes warm then companies would not have gotten the same tax returns. This page lists the reason for the tax returns as "För att stödja elkunderna ekonomiskt och för att mildra effekterna av de höga elpriserna har EU infört en tillfällig möjlighet att använda de så kallade flaskhalsintäkterna för ekonomiska utbetalningar till elkunderna.". So general stimulation of the economy seems to also have been part of the reason for the tax returns.

Yes, the call for violence is more deserving of censorship.

It's not about trying to make a net utilitarian estimate of how much harm each claim might make. It's about the acceptability of the behaviors proposed.

We may not like the idea of people choosing different medical treatments than we'd choose, but that's their right. Even if it's a foolish behavior to reject modern science, they can choose foolishness.

They cannot choose to employ violence against X group. Even if we'd agree it could improve society in some way, it's absurdly dangerous - who decides when someone is a part of X, etc?

Sorry, I think I was unclear in that original comment once I read the replies and read it back.

GVRD/Metro Vancouver encompasses Vancouver and surrounding cities, as far east as Langley and Port Moody. The prices decrease quite a bit as you get further away from Downtown Vancouver and the city in general.

“Other cities” in my original comment meant these outlying ones, not ones outside of the GVRD. The prices in False Creek are going to be much higher than the GVRD average.
Helios flight 522 had no usable voice recordings due to the nature of the incident. The cockpit recordings begin well after the last pilot actions from what I recall. They were able to piece it together using comms with the towers, but that was more luck.

Im not sure I understand the hesitation with it either way, however. Can’t think of a reason why you wouldn’t want the data preserved.

I notice you linked the fixes for clang and gcc. Where's the link for MSVC?

Glad you agree. But the absence of it proves the point I'm trying to make - they didn't take it seriously enough.

> there's no central C++ CVE committee to have done that, either, which to Herb's point

It actually sounds like Herb wants to reduce the the number of C++ CVEs that are filed, not increase them. He very specifically says that a bug shouldn't be enough, there should be a vulnerability. It sounds like he wants to achieve his goal of fewer CVEs by juking the stats, but who knows.

I am suggesting that there are people who want things this way, yes.

Over the last 20 years especially, it seems there are similar interests going after institutions that often bring communities together, schools, churches, sports, etc. The more isolated people are from their local community, the more they are driven online where social media and forums will have more influence.

When you step back and look at everything that goes on, it's hard to ignore and the result is people who are more detached with fewer friends, isolated and lonely.

I had an internship at CreateSpace after it was purchased by Amazon, paid hourly with time cards!

My normal lunch procedure was to clock out, order a pizza from a nearby pizza place, drive out to pick it up, bring it back to my cubicle, clock in, and eat it at my desk. This also works well with sandwiches.†

I later learned that I was legally required to take at least 30 minutes of lunch break, and I was horrified. Thankfully there was no enforcement. My mind boggles at the idea that workers need legal "protections" requiring them to spend less time at their home.

Do your work from 9h to 16h, and enjoy a bigger part of your life.

† It was also pretty common for everyone to go out together to a big group lunch. In such cases, the time taken for lunch is whatever it ends up being. But I was free to spend as little time as I wanted on my own individual lunch, if there wasn't a group lunch.
Ah, but <insert US exceptionalism here>.
You aren't going to like the answer, but the answer is they wouldn't be interested at all. For 100k you are basically just applying to the company, that amount of money for a startup isn't even on their radar. I've been apart of two startups that have been acquired by large tech. It's typically done one of two ways.

(1) For acquihires, it needs to be done through VC connections with the M&A team at the large company. And the prices are still in the millions.

(2) The M&A team seeks you out, because your product is either truly innovative, actually makes enough money that will make a dent on their balance sheet, or you have a very unique team, PhDs, well-known engineers, etc...

If you want to sell your company for 100k, I think your best bet is to go to well funded startups that need engineers, but if it's just you I think it'll be a tough sell.
