Just responding to your first point. The FDA scope of jurisdiction is breathtakingly large and arbitrarily enforced, so the fact that it can fall under their jurisdiction and that they claim it is a weak statement. In policy it is like writing laws which make everyone a criminal and only enforcing it when you feel like it.

Is this a fair comparison for the FDA? Yes, because in the current system you are guilty until you prove your own innocence to their standard of evidence, which tends to vary based on who you are. One could argue that the potential harm of unregulated supplements is clear and present, yet the FDA chooses not to act.

To whom shall we write our complaints about the unregulated aspects of the food and drugs which have the potential to cause massive harm (but which apparently don't because people on aggregate are not as helpless as they sometimes appear)?

Splitting semantic hairs, but I'd say that turbocharged cars are quite common in the USA, although still greatly outnumbered by normally-aspirated ones.

I've been driving various turbocharged cars for 20 years, and both cars in the garage right now have turbos. I'd be surprised if you could drive on a highway more than a couple of miles without seeing one.

So, based on my own observation, I'd says that gas-powered turbocharged passenger cars are common yet still greatly outnumbered.

I can't speak to the websites having problems with IE9 and above, however the desktop application compatibility situation has ended up being overblown in my experience. Sitting down with "Process Monitor" and weakening permissions or spending a few minutes figuring out how to apply the existing Application Compatibility shims the OS provides has sorted out almost every problematic desktop application. For the few applications that failed to yield the "Windows XP Mode" VM (which comes with Windows 7 Professional licenses) has worked fine (albeit the multiple users per PC "story" for "Windows XP Mode" is terrible and having a bunch of XP VMs to support adds complexity).
Seriously. I was scratching my head for 2 days (!) trying to figure our why some users on IE8 couldn't access our CDN. Turns out it was this SNI issue that I had no clue existed.

We had to create a separate machine as a CDN load balancer specifically to handle XP.

I just want to mention the great safety advances in car (and race) security in the last 20 years; since 1994 and the deaths of Ratzenberger and Senna there has been no driver fatalities in F1 racing.

Look, Intellij is the Emacs of IDEs. If you've not used it you have no idea of its depth. I've written plugins [1] for it, so I'm not an idiot. I regularly use it for Java, Scala, Clojure and Ruby, so yeah, sometimes it's worth paying someone to sort out issues for you.

I have a Windows XP VM on my computer that runs my client connection to a piece of essential hospital software. It cannot be run on a machine that has .NET 3.5.1 and > 4.0 installed simultaneously, or it throws assembly compatibility errors.

The vendor will probably only fix this compatibility problem when the piece of software has even less support than VB6 (i.e., virtually none). Because healthcare.

They absolutely didn't.

I don't get how there seems to be absolutely no human side to these cases.

Guy discovers critical vulnerability and could have completely fucked the company over. Instead he responsibly reports it, and he gets back a big fuck you. How can you possibly think that's fair? The fact that it's out of scope only means they should give him an out of scope reward - much higher!

Saying he could have not checked the credentials is a bit silly, because if the credentials were invalid (quite likely), it goes from CRITICAL to MINOR.

And isn't the entire point in bug bounties to encourage pen testers to explore your system? Sure, you don't really want them poking around your source control, but better that than black hats.

All of the above aside. They really couldn't spare $500 for someone who could have caused $millions of damage?
Depends on what sort of sensitive locations you're talking about. If it's a place where lots of civilians go through, then I could see it being useful. For example, there are (or were?) lots of checkpoints in Iraq and such where civilians were allowed through, but had to stop and be checked first. If a vehicle refused to stop, the soldiers often had little recourse but to open fire. With a system like this, they could first try to disable the vehicle, then start shooting if it doesn't work. The idea is not to use this as a last resort, but rather as a non-lethal way to help weed out false positives, hopefully leading to fewer dead civilians.
Switched from Eclipse to IntelliJ for Java development about a year back and never looked back. It's amazing how good the tooling and autocomplete is. It's worth every dollar!

>2. So far it doesn't seems to have crossed the threshold to be able to spread quickly from person to person. Doing that will imply a few more mutations that will likely make it less aggressive and deadly (it's hard to spread if you kill your host too quickly).

I've done some epidemiology, but I'm not a biologist.
I don't understand your line of reasoning there. I suspect it stems from a logical mix-up, but its not detailed enough to say for sure.

I understand that if a disease kills its host, before it can infect more people, then it will 'burn itself out' and fail to spread.
Therefore, all other things being equal, a disease that kills more slowly, or kills less, will spread more.

However, that does not mean that a disease must become less aggressive and deadly to spread quickly from person to person - or even has pressure to.

We can use the terminology of compartmental epidemiology modelling to make this clearer:

- The rate which describes how contagious the disease is, between an infected person, and a non-infected person: 'B' (beta).

- The rate a which someone infected becomes non-infective (recovered or dead): 'v'.

- Lets also talk about the mortality rate, the % of infected people who become dead, rather than recovered.

You say:

>(it's hard to spread if you kill your host too quickly).

I interpret that as a statement about 'v': you are saying that if the disease kills too quickly, it won't spread too fast.

That's true - if 'v' is much shorter than a normal flu - let's say its minutes, as an illustrative unrealistic extreme - then clearly even a very contagious disease (high Beta) will burn itself out.

However:

> So far it doesn't seems to have crossed the threshold to be able to spread quickly from person to person.

That is a statement about 'B'.

You imply that it is necessary, or likely, that 'v' changes as 'B' increases.

But what reason do you have to think that?

There's no reason to think that a disease couldn't have a normal 'v' (couple of weeks; but even a couple of days would probably still be incredibly dangerous), but a really high 'B' and a really high mortality rate, if we are very unlucky.

The mutation of the disease isn't guided, or intelligent; it doesn't care if it reaches equilibrium with its host population, or kills us all.

The evolutionary pressure on the disease to become less lethal is a populations-of-diseases level pressure (i.e. the specific disease will die, if it kills all humans); whereas the evolutionary pressure to spread more applies at the level of individual members of this specific disease (which is normally how we think about evolutionary pressures).

Why think there's a casual link from the former to the latter?
I believe your argument mixes the two up, leading to a faulty conclusion, and an unwarranted assumption of an extra safety factor.

I've seen a number of people working in the area of epidemiology make what I think is this mistake, and I'd like to know whether I'm missing something or they are.
So let me get it straight, someone, aware of their bounty program or not, found their closed SOURCE CODE, and is getting a T-Shirt? How much do you value your own source code? at least 10,000$ right? ;) (probably much, much more) who cares about the scope, if someone found my wallet on the street which had 10,000$ in it, I would give them a bit more than a T-Shirt, I would buy them a whole wardrobe.

Think if someone found the source code for Windows / Office / Photoshop, without any bounty program, and responsibly disclosed it to the respective companies. If he didn't walk away with nice amount of money, he could easily just put it in the nearest torrent site* without even feeling guilty (*this is wrong, and illegal, don't do it)

Safety problems, indeed. The 917/30, f'rinstance, had a chassis and bodywork you'd be leery of building into a child's pedal car wrapped around a twin-turbo flat twelve that could deliver 1800 bhp when turned up to eleven (and, given the turbos of the time, that power was pretty much on/off rather than something you could lay on gradually). But those were the days when "retirement" and "race car driver" were practically mutually exclusive terms.
I'm sure you work with Scala, because I work with Clojure and I see it "starting to become FP on the JVM".

I will say one funny observation after reading HN for years; I sometimes think I'm the only person here who's ever gone camping or stepped off the asphalt. No other hacker stereotype comes as close to universal as this. All that "never kissed a girl" "don't like sports" has some ring of truth however minimal, but none of it is as almost universally true as "never slept on the ground in a forest". I may very well be the only person here to ever have walked on a hiking trail.

To clarify what exactly the 1,000 Nights Challenge is:

In 2001, Ray Bradbury gave a speech at the University of California where he encouraged young writers to read three things every night:

- One short story (Dahl, Hemingway, Matheson, Cheever, Kneale, Collier), Warton, Irving)

- One poem (Shakespeare, Frost, Pope)

- One essay (Huxley, Eiseley)

Bradbury's goal is to make you into a collector of the metaphor -- filling your head with thoughts, theories, and ideas before bed, rather than completing another level in Angry Birds.

This repository is to help me 1.) follow Bradbury's advice and 2.) create a list of reading material to fill those 1,000 nights.

The "traction control" part of the KERS system wasn't controlled by the driver. The best guess is that a system monitored wheel slip by the oscillation of the rear suspension. The extra power was fed into the recovery system rather than being wasted as wheel slip.

It seems to me that what you want is a CoffeeScript for JVM, a language that is much more expressive and concise and at the same time can compile to JVM and utilize the aplenty Java libraries.

Like CoffeeScript, this language should mainly follow OOP paradigm, while allows certain kinds of FP features, such as first class functions, seq, etc. Immutability is not forced. Basically, a Scala-minus -- Scala without Haskell stuffs, and much reduced FP features.

I was thinking about how I would answer the original question (how to define genius, essentially), invoking names like Einstein, Aristotle, Turing, etc. I was wondering if I felt that some concept of synthesizing "new knowledge" was a necessary component. I thought, "I would hesitate to label an artist as a genius," then I specifically thought of classical composers. Then I refreshed and saw your post :)

As a programmer and lifelong STEM person, I could be biased. Even though I hold that everything is subjective, it's a spectrum and art is just so subjective. How do you even begin to quantify the level of genius of a musical composition?
Ah, so you base it on what you were told by a random guy on a train.

What cooperation, exactly?

Is that really the world you want to live in? There is no cooperation here, it is exploitation pure and simple.

Precisely!

I once worked for a company that was all "cutting edge". We built Digital Video On-Demand systems for airlines, hotels. Python, REST, JSON, media streaming. Gorgeous things. We were invited to respond to a RFP for the transit system of the city I lived in, for platform displays. Bear in mind, these systems had been in place since the seventies, and consisted of two CRTs side by side, and you could watch the image drawing line by line down the two screens like a GIF downloading over a 300bps modem (it would take up to 15 seconds to draw a screen).

Alas, this would have been so much nicer.

We prototyped a HD flatscreen system, all sorts of niceties, news, temperature, more detailed train, trip, other information... then we had to integrate things.

We -eventually- dug up a line printed (literally on that blue and white tractor dot matrix printer paper) "spec" for the message format for the PDP system hooked into their network.

Prior to that we were pulling and reverse engineering a raw serial on the wire binary protocol with messages. Oh, did I mention there was a primitive packet system written for this that would preface messages with a destination, so they could be multiplexed - i.e. you could get "Train Destination (for train 1), first stop, second stop", then "fifth stop (for train 2 on a completely different display, to be ignored)" and then back to your messages.

When was this? 2007.
