Will it still start recursing and deleting most of the stuff owned by your user? That's arguably more important than the system files!

I suppose, but I didn’t vote on it either way.

Because it is irrelevant. The concentration of power is one thing, but the complaints here are against the shameless rent-seeking. Open access publishing would not take away from anything the OP is extolling the values of.

In theory, no. There is no reason to think this neural net will output every possible string given enough time. That'd be quite unexpected.

> Anyone in the field will tell you that this is an absolute disaster of a post because it sends the signal to other young aspiring cybersecurity professionals that this is OK

Maybe a bit overzealous with the reaction here. OK, sure, the OP could have been even more serious about this but literally the first labeled section is "DISCLAIMER" and says:

> With that said, what we did was very illegal, and other administrations may have pressed charges. We are grateful that the D214 administration was so understanding.

Strange reference. Is that just meant to be an arbitrary celebrity or does xqcow have some particular relevance here I'm missing?

What is xcow?

Is there a phrase coined for responding to the title of a post, while ignoring all content?

I can't imagine anyone would want the car you described, for market-sized values of "anyone"

"Haaning took the money as part of an agreement with the Kunsten, which says it loaned Haaning more than half a million kroner so he could frame the cash in a reprise of an earlier artwork."

They didn't just commission him to make art. The museum contracted him to reproduce a particular piece of art, which Haaning did not do.

hm, I have this but Sonic still doesn’t service me

You can't even get symmetric gbit in most of San Francisco :(

I see, but these "receipts" are just emails. I would be extremely surprised if someone else's emails are getting routed to your gmail inbox. Seems very unlikely...

The other person probably just entered OP's email address. I don't really get what OP is saying but make sure to note that periods are normalized out.

Yeah I agree with that much

It sounds to me like the contracts did not contradict.

> [App Annie] went to great lengths to assure [Trading Firms] that the financial and app-related data [App Annie] sold was the product of a sophisticated statistical model and that [App Annie] had controls to ensure compliance with the federal securities laws. These representations were materially false and misleading

It's illegal because App Annie was feeding trading firms insider information while swearing it was actually just a really good statistical model. Presumably the actual model wasn't good enough, so they started using unaggregated data to eke out perf.

What they did is not just breach of contract, but insider trading as they fed private information to trading firms.

> the order finds that from late 2014 through mid-2018, App Annie used non-aggregated and non-anonymized data to alter its model-generated estimates to make them more valuable to sell to trading firms.

What I don't get is where does App Annie get its data? Implied here is that app developers hand it over, but what do they get in return? And is that the primary source of App Annie's data?

There is a huuuuge twitter thread with all the details. This tweet in the middle talks about a VGA to HDMI adapter https://twitter.com/Foone/status/1424242517243957250

How interesting. I learned of the fungus just a few days ago when I found it on a houseplant of mine. That's a fun connection.

The fungus looks a lot like pest eggs, so it was a relative relief to discover.

Snitch doesn't sound like beach, sheep, cheat. I'm not sure how to approximate snitch in French, maybe you can't. The Google card that comes up if you search "snitch pronunciation" is right though.

> The location is encryped with a key that only the host iphone can decrypt, so supposedly apple doesn’t see your location every time you walk by an airtag

Does that matter re: Apple considering that the location originated on your phone to begin with...? If they wanted to, there isn't really a reason to wait until you walk by an airtag to grab your location.

I know HN has special rules for formatting certain URLs. Like Twitter links get the username added on and apparently research.google.com gets a subdomain (Or maybe all of Google?).

Turns out this link is actually from colab, a repository of user-generated content hosted at colab.research.google.com.

@dang: if it isn't too unwieldy, maybe colab links could have the 'colab' part added on too? The way it is now led me to think the link led to an official Google Research publication/project.

Technically it says "We'll invest $100k in the best entrant if you end up starting a company". I guess not bad if you're already working on this?

This is a classic mixup in Excel/spreadsheet tools too, as they'll often assume any pasted numerical IDs are ints and "helpfully" strip the leading zeroes.

From the (linked) sqlite docs:

"In SQLite, the datatype of a value is associated with the value itself, not with its container."

And on the topic of specifically inserting "a" into an INTEGER column:

"If the TEXT value is not a well-formed integer or real literal, then the value is stored as TEXT"

From TFA: "a limited selection of interesting specimens"

This entire line of phones licensed the branding from Lucasfilm, and I remember this would even be marked on the Motorola ads.

Even a truly random die is not guaranteed to ever roll a 6.

> which is sequestered behind a Chinese wall.

hm, hadn't heard this one before (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_wall). Seems a bit anachronistic.

From what I have been able to tell recently, CVPR in particular is a venue where "engineered systems" get a lot of focus. I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing, nor do I think it is representative of the big ML conferences in general.
