sameyolo··on The Iocaine Powder Strategy in RoShamBo
I was trying to think how iocaine powder would help in this scenario when I clicked in. Shows how our vernacular was shaped a bit though.
sameyolo··on Openpilot – open-source self-driving agent
Your car is 13 years old and you could stand to benefit from the safety advantages available in a modern "no auto-cruise or lane assist" vehicle. The safety tech has advanced a lot in that time. This is a quite good way to invest your scrip imo.
sameyolo··on Ask HN: Annual Bonus Time, Team's Not Happy
A lot of really poor advice so far in this thread. Unfortunately your personal best bet is probably to do nothing. If it really bugged you, find a new job silently because everyone is hiring.

The realistic answer is that you deliver the news to your team during your one on ones, explain the matter was not in your hands, and move on. If someone leaves over pay (which is reasonable) but you do not control pay, then it's not on you.

Don't be too hard on yourself.

sameyolo··on 800M Email Addresses Leaked Online by Email Verification Service
Totally agree that generally speaking no one is breaking high complexity passwords. Why break the password when you can just convince someone to change it for you?
sameyolo··on Ask HN: What is the best small off-grid solar kit today?
Researched this recently and came across this which appears to be the best solution in the field currently, though price prohibitive. http://solarips.com/power-tower/

Give me a civilizations inventory and transaction log and I'll show you their economy, and society.
sameyolo··on Former Apple Employee Charged with Theft of Autonomous Car Project Trade Secrets
I would safely assume the government does collect all ticket purchase data in real time.
sameyolo··on Hundreds of nuclear blast videos show explosions in the ocean and Nevada desert
Might seem crazy but there was a huge effort around repurposing these weapons for construction. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Plowshare
sameyolo··on Chinese stocks enter bear market as trade war heats up
It should sound like that, but unfortunately the point they are making is true.
sameyolo··on Shutting Down Forum (GDPR)
I felt the regulation text itself was clear that the first request is free.

"1 - The controller shall provide a copy of the personal data undergoing processing. 2- For any further copies requested by the data subject, the controller may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs."

sameyolo··on Chinese tech giant ZTE ceases operations after ban on using U.S. components
No need to bring up such horrible historical events such as the destruction of TechTV.
sameyolo··on Patent Review System Upheld by U.S. Supreme Court
I am not critiquing his ability to perform the job but the process of his selection.
sameyolo··on Patent Review System Upheld by U.S. Supreme Court
I think it's a valid point of discussion given the circumstances surrounding his nomination and subsequent appointment.
sameyolo··on 500M of “Have I been Pwned” hashes broken
For large CSV's I've personally used EmEditor in the past with success.
sameyolo··on Germs That Love Diet Soda
I'm not particularly young and my great grandmother lived into the mid-90s. This would amusingly give me significant leeway. In my own quest to solve my stomach ailments I permanently quit soda and juices, switching to carbonated water. Helped tremendously.
sameyolo··on 1.1.1.1: Fast, privacy-first consumer DNS service
Audits provide reasonable assurance, not total. When auditors test access controls for a homegrown application for example, it is unreasonable to ask that a full code review is done to check 100% that checking the box next to Admin confers that, and that checking Read Only restricts it always. In my experiences performing these tests (as a young grad who had never worked on a software dev team), we would ask what the permissions were designed to provide and limit, and observe in the system that they did that. If a developer had programmed a backdoor that when you press A+B+3 and whisper into a microphone grants unlogged admin access, our test would miss that. But that's why we also test change controls and who has access to push to live, etc.

Edit - and to speak more to the topic at hand, there were plenty of people at the firm I worked with who absolutely had the technical expertise to perform such an in depth audit. They are simply engaged when higher levels of assurance are required. What level of scrutiny should your auditors provide your bathroom time monitoring system?

sameyolo··on [dead]
Seems to be open to all students which is preferable. I don't believe that institutionalizing options for self segregation in a University is a great idea however.
sameyolo··on Google's Python Class
Not really on topic but thought it interesting to see a resource from my alma mater linked here. Do you work with Dr. Patterson or did that randomly come up?
sameyolo··on Crankshaft – A GNU/Linux for the Raspberry Pi as an Android Auto headunit
You could try looking into some of the Android forums where they have unlocked the head units and have demonstrated being able to flash custom roms, although may be a bit different from what you're looking.
