Does the creator get credit for that? I've got a few friends that need a few million views and I could easily write a mouse driver to take care of that.
It would probably hurt more than help, by way of retention metrics.

It is very much in the bingo cards that internet gets shut off in America as an extension of strong-arm policies.
You mean the substrate of our entire economic engine? I think that's a bit dramatic.
> why publish this?
New versions of Akira and any other ransomware are constantly being developed. This code is specific to a certain version of the malware.
As noted in the article, it also requires:
1. An extremely capable sysadmin 2. A bunch of GPU capacity 3. That the timestamps be brute-forced separately
So it's not exactly a turn-key defeat of Akira.

As a FAANG employee, working with ML, what do you want to get from other companies, besides more money?
It's hard to have more chips, for example. You run less experiments, you have less throughput in an already computationally tight environment.
It sounds like a Staff title may be in play, although it wasn't made clear whether this would be a promotion.

For complex environments like those discussed in the article, there’s unavoidably complicated logic.
Code is a good place for logic to live.
Compared to yaml, code is more testable, readable and expressible.
I should’ve restricted my original comment to the kind of situation in the article where different configs are created for various regions and test environments with optional values. Totally agree configs are useful for defining more static values.
Restricting config to static values removes quite a bit of the value of config, in my opinion.
Yes, logic should live in code, but very often that logic needs to behave differently depending on some piece of (inherently variable, not static) configuration.
Random examples (written from the perspective of personified code): - How many threads should I use? - On which port should I serve metrics? - Which retry strategy should I use?

> The fact that it's a purely functional programming language with lazy evaluation is really powerful but steepens the learning curve for devs who haven't worked with functional languages.
does it really though? what part do they struggle with?
IME engineers struggle with folds most.

How do you know who they're firing? Nobody knows what "core tech" is. They are clearly getting rid of people in LoR. And game companies aren't bloated with sales people.
There are typically crowdsourced spreadsheets available from https://layoffs.fyi that cover title, etc.
Does the title actually make sense given the content? It reads like Fitbit misled customers about their warranty coverage/consumer rights, not the devices themselves?
I agree. According to the article, Fitbit misled customers about their refund policy. That's it.

Heck! 30 bucks (dollars?) per month? Here(Italy) I'm paying like 7 Euro
And what speeds do you receive in exchange for €7?
The incentive structure behind paying by the search has diminishing returns, as I see it. You need the results to be of a high enough quality to drive the user to want to run another search with you. Beyond that point, though, in the absence of a direct competitor, where is the incentive for you to continue improving search result quality? M
