> Probably because it isn't very useful to the attacker.

Ring 0 is really important for building a botnet, which provides a very real incentive for the folks that actually write the droppers. Ideally (for the botnet owner) they establish persistence, then sell access by directing the bots to download additional malware under the control of botnet customers. Long story short: you don't get paid as much if you don't have ring 0.

> Most user data is not executable...

I was speaking from the perspective of the real purpose behind all this, protecting user data - and that the horse is already out of the barn. As far as cleanup, you are presupposing a loss of ring 0. If ring 0 is secure then killing all the user processes and performing a snapshot rollback of user space will definitely clear the malware.

> Well, I'm talking about today's legacy...

Ah, well then I agree. If your platform does not have user isolation, then you shouldn't rely on user isolation for security.

> And as wiping the whole system does not add very much cost...

Well we've got a catch-22. Because implementing security practices that do harden the system add a lot more cost to a hamfisted wipe. For example: On my laptop I've got five jails, a maze of netgraph nodes that result in a complex ruleset, host IPS, kerberos authentication and authorization, encrypted filesytems, close integration with TPM and various certificate based credentials. Just assuming that none of that works and doing a system wipe is a lot more work than simply popping in the latest Ubuntu dvd iso... consider the labor of rekeying alone.

So the advice to do a system wipe isn't bad, but it should be prefixed with: "If you've made no effort to secure your system and are completely relying upon the distro provider for security".

I've seen the difference, it's much more pronounced with women. I talk with drivers, a lot drive for women, they notice significantly more women on Lyft.

I've heard a combination of complaints about Uber leadership being dudebros and Uber drivers sexually assaulting riders as the reason why. I don't know if Lyft actually provides a safer ride, but they don't say shitty things in public and don't have as many well known incidents.
Of course there is a lot of repetition in the beginning, because you only have so much to work with, so the iterations are shorter and plentiful.

It seems the Libertarian mindset would lead someone who survived a plane crash to think that they chose the right seat, and those who died must have had poor seat choosing ability. Instead of it just being chaotic luck. The Libertarian mindset heavily relies on survival bias.

Yes you can, if you sync the commit to NVRAM before giving any external indication of success/failure, and don't leak through any side-channels. The CVE before demo'd by the famous youtube video was that you had a split second after failure was indicated where you could cut the power and keep the failure from being stored.

It's not clear that this tool proves or even suggests anything at all about the relationship of mind and body. At best it indicates something about how our "sensorium" operates, but many philosophers would be seriously hesitant to equate our sensory awareness of our spatial surroundings with the mind. After all, animals have such a sensorium, but it's debatable whether they have mind in the sense(s) that philosophers, mystics, zen masters, or poets mean it.

The premise of a portable framework is to allow me to write my code in a portable way across multiple operating systems.

If I have to spend time writing bindings to OS APIs and faking UI widgets for each OS I am targeting, then the framework is not doing anything to help me, rather on the contrary.

As extra info, on 5.3 some of the C++ widgets render on Android as if it was a desktop. Just try to use a Qr file selector on your phone.

It seems the Libertarian mindset would lead someone who survived a plane crash to think that they chose the right seat, and those who died must have had poor seat choosing ability.

TBH, that sounds like a complete caricature of a Libertarian thinker from where I'm sitting. Maybe there are people like that out there, and maybe some of them self-identify as Libertarians (or libertarians) but there's nothing inherent in the Libertarian world-view that would lead to such a position.

There are a lot of things outside of ones control in life, and while you can try to shape the direction in your life with personal choice, not everyone starts from the same spot, not all situations are the same, and not all risks pay off.

That's absolutely true, and of the Libertarians I know, I don't think I know a single one who would contest that.

I always take Lyft over Uber because they actually TELL YOU THE COLOR OF THE CAR on the app. Uber not showing you the color of the drivers car is one of the weirdest UI decisions I can ever remember.

> Why should your drug use, or anyone else's, create obligations for other people to support you, treat you, and help you overcome addiction?

Replace drug use with something else and you get to the basic question of society. "Why should someone have to support someone else?" - a philosophical question. You have to decide for yourself what the answer is - for me it is simple: Because helping others is what society is all about, without that we are nothing more than individuals in an "everyone for himself!"-scenario, which doesn't strike me as the kind of place I want to live in.

Facebook is an effective acquisition channel for many verticals especially for Gaming and E-commerce companies. For Mobile gaming, activation campaigns benefit from Facebook's mobile reach, targeting and analytics. For e-commerce, Dynamic Product Ads will generate the highest ROI among most paid marketing activities (albeit at limited volume).

There is one huge catch, though: measurement and attribution.

Yes, setting view and click attribution windows on the platform is a given and necessary, but this is only partly effective, unless Facebook is the only paid marketing channel you're using.

If you're any running media on other networks or channels, then you need to measure the their interactions and influence on the customer journey in order to arrive at the incremental value of each channel and an attributed CAC (customer acquisition cost).

Most attribution partners will allow you to do this and play nicely with all of the networks/partners/channels, with one exception: Facebook.

Facebook is a 'walled garden' in that it does not allow third-party impression tracking, unless you're using its attribution product, Atlas.

This means you are unable to effectively value and weigh the effect of Facebook impressions, measure frequency and overlap across channels, conduct accurate path analyses, and understand the incremental value of Facebook.

That said their ad products are sophisticated, best in social IMO, and their roadmap is very promising.

Probably not all Libertarians are the same, but most I've dealt with have a selfish arrogance about the outcome of the choices they've made, and ignorance about the plight of others. There is also a strong desire to dismantle regulations and safety nets, because of a belief that it would bring immediate benefit themselves. The Libertopian ideal really does sound like a privatized "hellscape", which the Libertarians obviously think they would be the CEOs of.

I've previously used Puppet in agentless mode and now Ansible. Ansible is much easier to troubleshoot - it just executes things in order until you reach the thing that breaks. Puppet... fails in ways that you sometimes can't even tell with debug on.

Not to mention that Puppet totally freaks out if you have the exact same step configured the exact same way in two different modules and refuses to run ('just have package X installed, no further config'). Apparently you're supposed to write a whole new module at that point.

My guess is that Puppet would work better in large, complex environments as a sort of live-managed system, but down at my small scales (tens of servers), Ansible is far easier to develop and manage, I find.

I've never quite forgotten that Ballmer accused anyone involved in Open Source as Communinists. Not to mention he said that Linux was a "cancer".

Or to be precise, he said that:

"[W]e have a problem ... when the government funds open-source work. Government funding should be for work that is available to everybody. Open source is not available to commercial companies. The way the license is written, if you use any open-source software, you have to make the rest of your software open source. If the government wants to put something in the public domain, it should. Linux is not in the public domain. Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches. That's the way that the license works."

and of Linux and Communism:

"There's no company called Linux, there's barely a Linux road map. Yet Linux sort of springs organically from the earth. And it had, you know, the characteristics of communism that people love so very, very much about it. That is, it's free."

I read this post yesterday and it brings an important point on the table that being good is of no use to an employee if you fail to foresee him a great future that you or your company can provide to him. Being good is not enough, an employee should be challenged with new things, if he likes to be and if he doesn't like to be complacent. And yes, he should be compensated well. Being good does no good to his financial situations. So..
Absolutely. The downside of running a full-blown eval() exists in JSON too, it's just that the eval() there is taking place in the reviver function, which requires a lot more coordination than a self-contained file.

As far as efficiency, I'd think for most uses the issue would be on the JSON.parse end. In this case, lave might be more efficient, since JSON reviving often ends up creating temporary objects that need to GC'ed after reification.
Been using both w/same setup for years. The speed, simplicity, and flexibility of nvALT is amazing. I'm always flipping in and out of my nvALT window throughout my work, where is save clippings, terminal commands, todos, links, troubleshooting fixes and how-tos, and so on.

With tagging and zero-lag search, it's great for archiving dozens or hundreds of disorganized notes, b/c finding exactly what you need takes 1 or 2 seconds (keyboard shortcut to window and just start typing to search… matching notes instantly appear. Or, for a new note, just keep typing to give it a title and hit enter).

The instant in/out ability (w/ near imperceptible lag) to work with nvALT makes it something I couldn't live without. It's always there, hidden in the background and available. Other windowed note tools require launching the app or opening new windows, often suffering from display refresh lag times or hogging resources (read: OneNote). Opening and using Notes.app (or even TextEdit.app), for example, and flipping between windows and other apps while working is annoyingly slow.

Oh, and might as well give credit to the background syncing with SimpleNote for web / iOS app availability, providing access to notes while on-the-go or at a second machine. Yes, the nvALT / SimpleNote combo is great. Love. Love. Love.

That's the only complimentary sentence about any of the firms mentioned in the article. It's also a bit out of place - the article reads just fine without it, and that information isn't needed to make the article's point.

Plus, the tags at the bottom are "Silicon Valley Bank" and "Money".
