PG trying to pretend that he isn't materially biased in the matter of Sam's image, even without knowing about the early investment that YC made into OpenAI, is incredibly dubious given that brand and reputation have such amazing v

Yes, this is exactly the problem with our "representative" democracy. For example, one polarizing issue this year may be whether a voter is willing to accept a candidate who acts like a mob boss or not, regardless of any other is

Same has been true for me in the US over 35+ years. This has always been a stupid and false boogeyman narrative.

This is not good enough, in my opinion. It's hard to treat the justice system seriously because of bullshit restrictions on victimless "crimes" like this. I'll only be okay with this if alcohol gets reclassified as Sch

After reading through the threads, I still think that '.lan' is a better non-reserved suffix to use for this than '.internal'; however, my opinion rarely has significant weight in the grand scheme of things.

Agreed. As a legitimate inventor and innovator, these management teams are signaling to me that they are not worth working for. The rest of talent that creates actual value, whether in engineering, sales, management, or otherwise, should

I would agree with you on most points; however, having worked within the fruit company directly on its chain of trust, I will tell you that the privacy angle runs extremely deep and is genuine. Regardless, that angle is obviously different

I'd like it a bit more if it referenced "Rayleigh scattering" by name, giving someone who is genuinely interested the keywords needed to dig deeper into the phenomenon.

I came to the comments to say more or less the same thing; however, I would also propose that it should probably be updated to use python for maximum accessibility of the cool ideas therein in this day and age (said even though I am a certi

Oooh, now that's fascinating. What you say is known because of update logs wasn't in the article that I recall. Could you kindly provide a reference to where you learned this part of the story? Thanks!

In some cases, oddly, the intent of a function can actually become clearer when the logic gets stripped of all the bad naming protocols and names for the moving pieces have to be reconstructed from only its actions and contexts. In a perfec

Yes, that's exactly what happened. The reference in the article to the tool named Ghidra is the confirmation to your hunch.

Vendor lock-in for maintenance has massive financial incentive, as was relatively clear in the article, even going so far as to cite some explicit numbers that are relatively big money when projected across the scale of an entire fleet.

The hidden lockouts containing GPS coordinates of competitors' repair facilities should be more than enough to establish criminal intent (in my armchair non-lawyer opinion).

Except that this isn't really a story about poorly written software; it's a story about corrupt management. Further, if we look at Boeing's recent issues with the 737Max, it's the same thing. In both of these cases, th

Some of the problems here might have been logic problems by inept coders; however, the underlying theme of this scandal is corrupt management. Even the erroneous code was an explicit piece of fraud that almost certainly was done under orde
