Flagged to death too -- how dare a failing YC commany be discussed.

By that same token, use of sudo is a legitimate signature of the malware. That said, its a really shitty signature with lots of false positives -- catbot is exactly the sort of strange names I assign to hosts or projects.

Remember when Valve made cool games, instead of bilking kids for hat money and removing product functionality because of your username?

Great organizations hire their own janitors into full-time roles. The short-term-profit seeking that's become pervasive in our economy heavily discourages any hiring you can out-source (and similarly discourages any R&D that won&#x

Usually temperature, free disk space, network io (anything the patched bios and os could reasonable get at). Once the ability to flash via JTAG (and eventually via in-game exploits), the Xbox became a really fun homebrew target.

Yeah, this definitely left me with a questionable impression of the author's understanding of bitcoin.

Not to mention the weird inaccuracies, like tying vpro (amt) to Xeon. Also no mention of TrustZone or similar existing techs for ensuring application integrity.

I think it's almost a sure bet that as soon as a player is large enough to lobby, they'll attempt to restrict other players from entering via licensing. This has already happened in places like Oakland, with the medical pot indust

I don't disagree, but to suggest somebody go to jail over a single incident that could have been prevented by a technology already under deployment is equally ridiculous. In 2005, PTC was a technology found almost strictly in yards and

Over PTC? Nobody would be going to jail... It's a relatively new technology, and legislation is already in place mandating it be universal by the end of 2018. I find difficulty in faulting either Amtrak or Sound Transit for not yet hav

Containers are frequently being used to bundle up an artifact for end users -- this means they're always going to be service/application, as opposed to libraries (which get crammed inside the container). Those libraries still get

When possible, DDs do submit patches upstream, but this isn't always possible or appropriate. Examples of unlikely to be upstreamed patches: Sometimes upstream software was explicitly developed as a tool for another distro, so Debian p

The gist of it is Debian patches everything to bring software into alignment with Debian philosophy. They back port bugfixes, correct weird path usage, and generally make the software play nicely with the distro. Some developers are bothere

This was not the failure of an algorithm. This was the failure of a person to keep in touch with an individual they wanted to call a friend, but couldn't be bothered to occasionally reach out to. Facebook enables this sort of behavior

Depends on what you're doing. It's still way cheaper to host block storage at home than most any cloud provider right now.

Sure, and I have that in each of the half-dozen ThinkPads laying about my place. That doesn't negate a desire for a unique architecture portable. edit: Particularly of interest to me is being able to isolate nodes. Your router and cons

RAM freed by swapping some infrequently accessed memory out to disk becomes available for cache use. If you have total control of your system, you know when you can safely allow data to be paged, and when you need to lock memory to physical

I've recently been fantasizing about something like this, but in laptop form. Have a dedicated console/display node, a few compute nodes, a 'router' node, and a gige (or 10gbe) fabric connecting them.

Moxie has made it pretty clear through the way Signal operates than Moxie's worldview is one where our feudal lords know better than mere serfs can ever hope to. I'm not at all surprised that yet again trust roots are taken out of

Sadly that bright line is pretty dim in some companies. As soon as there is one "hard-to-fix" transgression, the organization finds a way to internally justify it. The first transgression makes additional transgressions feel easie

Does signal even allow bots? They have pretty draconian terms on allowing 3rd party clients to connect to their service.

Even worse is the conflation of blockchain technology with its most widely known application (cryptocurrency).

This. 1000x. The beautiful thing is if you approach the conversation as one about a merkle tree built on a consensus algorithm, while avoiding the term 'blockchain', it's still possible to get folks excited about the tech.

Say what now? Why would you think they're being paid a pretty penny? Odds are they're doing it to scrape by, and would much prefer having the evening to spend with their friends and family rather than having to put on a charade.

I think Bluetooth could be doable; assuming their use of the protocol is well documented and open to 3rd party implementation. For a lot of these devices, the API could be described in AT commands (flung over any of several bluetooth profil

It's a mix of upfront costs and per-chip royalties, with upfront costs for the IP being in the millions. Here's a somewhat accurate article on the topic: https://www.anandtech.com/show/7112/the-arm-diarie

You should probably start by changing the litterbox... More seriously though, this is a major pet peeve of mine. Many of these devices will also become completely unusable when the manufacturer decides to terminate the service. This is a bi

Similarly, if you love auto-increment, use it. Don't write lame HN comments deriding others opinions.

RISC-V doesn't directly help with any of these concerns. But it is an alternative to ARM, and has a governance model that parties interested in open standards might be more willing to join. Right now, ARM CPUs on the low end have lit

A ton of ARM boards like this already exist. You can bring up most Allwinner chips with 100% open source code. The bootmask from for many have been dumped and disassembled even. The trouble is they all suck in some slightly different way. M
