The problem is that this isn't about saving money overall. Users pay the primary costs of the company's security errors, so it's a moral hazard problem.

Right now, companies that lose data don't pay any costs at all until afterwards, and those costs are usually minimal. The reputational damage is reduced because no one knows until (well) after the breach, and any financial info lost is consumer credit cards rather than corporate accounts. Yes, users sometimes get free identity theft monitoring, but those services are quite cheap to account for the fact that they don't actually work.

More specifically, this is asymmetric information and therefore the market can't adjust for it. When Yahoo loses my data, will my passwords be salted and well-hashed? How could I possibly know in advance? Consumers aren't making privacy and risk choices, they're using the internet as best they can and getting repeatedly burned for it.

If you want a clear contrast, companies are enormously concerned about "whaling" attacks, and are working hard to prevent them. Those attacks take corporate money in real time, so the costs are properly factored in. Moral hazard is inherently about broken cost-benefit measurement.

Also "_" means the programmer chose to ignore the errors that he knew about at the time.

There's no way to know whether the programmer actually considered all the error cases (they are generally very poorly documented in Go code), and there's no way to know if the called function added errors at some later date. If it's though an interface, there's no way to know that all implementations have the same errors.

It's really an 80s-era approach to error handling, and that's bad.
I think it makes a bit of sense. For a lot of companies Twitter is already a major point of customer interaction and retention. Maybe Salesforce feels like they could monetize that aspect of Twitter, with the advantage that a ton of consumers are already there and using it.
Your video is about how FB is viewed as lying to content creators because it counts a view as having the video play for 3 seconds, which content creators believe is too small a threshold.

The article here is about how the average view length is only calculated from exactly those impressions which lasted more than 3 seconds, where the outrage is that it should have been computed for all impressions. In other words, that the threshold was too high.

You're entirely ignoring the fact that there's no way Krebs could've possibly been paying Akamai enough to tank the attack.

>For me, buying DDOS protection is something like buying insurance. I don't expect to need it, but if the worst happens, I expect them to stick with me. The way I measure insurance providers is by asking friends how it was when they had a claim.

DDoS protection isn't insurance, Krebs gets attacked 24/7. Only an utter moron would be willing to sell Krebs DDoS insurance.

>That means I can't trust Akamai.

Which means nothing at all in a world without alternatives, hosts capable of tanking attacks like that number at two or less. But I get the impression you're not looking to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a year on DDoS protection anyway.

High consumption tax creates an incentive to not spend your money, which is bad.This also means the millionaires and billionaires of the world get to invest their money tax-free to earn even more money, often with rent-seeking, while 95% of America is getting taxed essentially up front on the vas majority of their earnings because it gets spent on stuff like housing, food, and healthcare.

This creates a massively regressive tax system, which is a super shitty thing unless you're a libertarian who can't understand the concept of marginal utility.
Google acquiring Twitter is actually the best end result here. Salesforce is probably the worst. Lots of people hate the idea of a Google acquisition, but I think it's well suited because:

- Google learnt from its mistakes with Google+ and is eager to not repeat them

- The company is a very different one now from years ago

- Google doesn't want to mess up identity again, so that wouldn't be an issue

- Google mostly just wants a social graph

- Twitter is a bad public company that makes irrational decisions

- Merging Google engineering/leadership with Twitter might actually give direction and ease the financial pressure that seems to drive the company's poor engineering decisions
After all these years GIMP still sucks. They waste time on developing features of low importance, while critical ones are still not solved.

Prime case: opening RAW files. The current suggested workflow is to use a 3rd party plugin UFRaw. Would you like to see the process of installing it on Windows?

(Ctlr+F for "MS-Windows for geeks")

And then I see arrogant posts like that, claiming that GIMP is perfectly capable. It absolutely is not. GIMP will become popular when GIMP developers start thinking about the modern photographer's workflow. Till then people will keep pirating Photoshop.

And the reality of a hostile internet mean that there is a need for active resources devoted to protecting any service from abuse.

I was concerned by this at first as well, but after using Go full time for the past two years, I've never found a need/use for them. Go doesn't lean towards strict OO principles, where I feel that most of the Generics uses are applied (Arrays, sorting, etc.).

Not everyone's opinion, just my two cents.

Unfortunately for your opinion, creating a state apparatus to surveil, capture, diagnose, and execute such individuals is far more dangerous than allowing such people to exist.

You may be expecting far too much of your government. My opinion is that if pedophilia became a mental illness treatable by execution, enemies of the powerful might discover that their hard drives had been filled with outlawed images without their knowledge, rather than just having convenient car wrecks or drug overdoses.

Why just murder someone when you can simultaneously discredit and vilify them?

If you truly believe that such people are too dangerous to live, the logical course of action is for you to go out and murder them yourself. Are you prepared to deal with the consequences of that? Would it be better to just hire a professional to do it on your behalf? Would that become more acceptable if the professional is a state employee?

And the oil shock was sort of a one time thing, and can't be viewed in isolation of Nixon having to close the gold window, more specifically how the US took advantage of the previous fixing of the US dollar price of gold before that fell apart (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973_oil_crisis#End_of_the_Bre...).

In other words, these were discontinuous and unique things, or turn it around, was it an oil shock, or a dollar devaluation shock? Nothing obliged OPEC to accept less and less value in the dollars they price their oil in.

You could go further and say that the relaxation of these Federal government interventions, including the price and distribution controls on oil and distillates in the '70s, it was pretty much a command economy until Reagan dismantled it, has better allowed the market to function.

(Not that the government has stopped manipulating the money supply, interest rates, etc. ... although that got rather out of control by the end of the '70s as well, with double digit annual inflation and > 20% prime rates to fix that.)

I will resist the urge to tell you what NOT to read and merely recommend a few favorites:

1. I am a big fan of John Kenneth Galbraith, who writes very clearly about a few things. I recommend both "The New Industrial State" and especially "The Affluent Society", where he argues that economics is insufficient to deal with post-scarcity.

2. Deirdre McCloskey's "If You're So Smart" is a great skewering of the blinkered nature of economic inquiry. Much of what is wrong with economics is what is wrong with scientific inquiry generally (being stuck in a formalism, confusing their models with reality); this is an excellent criticism.

3. Anything by Ha-Joon Chang. He writes intelligently about development and globalization; he is unorthodox in his economic practice, and his arguments are simple and drawn from history. There are a lot of "My god, it's full of stars!" moments in his work.

4. Still looking...

It got better, I had a bad reaction to paracetamol I'd just started taking, it seems.
Totally agree! A consumption tax with a tax prebate (aka basic income guarantee) makes it progressive.

To head off the argument that it's regressive because wealthier people spend a smaller fraction of their income: true for a snapshot in time, but not over the course of their lives. Spending a fraction of your income = saving = spending later. So in retirement they could have an effective >100% income tax rate. Also, switching to this program would be a one-time double-tax on savings which will disproportionately affect those who've saved more; i.e. "progressive". I'm still not positive about intergenerational wealth transfers - that could be a way to avoid paying taxes, but maybe if we charged wealth transfers the same consumption rate, that could solve it.

I'm a big fan of a FairTax-esque approach since it simplifies things dramatically and lays the infrastructure for ramping up the prebate as time goes on, as our nation can afford it.
That's just beautiful. I think it also made my projects a bit faster.
I feel like a lot of our problems would go away if companies faced penalties with teeth for losing customer information.

You can go through a convoluted process to get the documentation for the standard from Adobe (Someone where I used to work did this so we could add support for PSD to a game engine). I'll concede that that's unpalatable, and that it's probably something you need to do regularly as PSD does get updates.

I'll also concede that its considerably easier to open a pdf for display vs for editing, and maybe all the info for the latter isn't there in the docs. Its also not a fun format to work with as its grown organically over many, many years.

All that said, GIMP usually bungs up the colors which makes it pretty unsuitable even for opening a psd for view. This shouldn't be acceptable at all.

I mean, in our defense, if we actually ate mostly or only what was in season locally, we would mostly live on squash, beans, bread, and potatoes. Real, tasty vegetables are just plain difficult to grow across much of the country, and shipping from the places with easy growing to the places with difficult growing brings in all the tradeoffs of trucked produce.

Interestingly, the currently-most-prominent plan in the US for a consumption tax includes a government "prebate", a pre-allocated consumption allowance based on household size, that amounts to a basic income. Under this proposal, every month, the federal government would send you a check for the household's consumption tax rebate (which is typically going to be in the hundreds of dollars).

Floating gate = the switching element on a transistor acts as a capacitor and can hold charge. the basic primitive for building flash memory.

I mean the argument still holds for TOR I imagine. Aren't there .onion URL shorteners (I honestly don't know)?

You're probably right that these people weren't tricked at any point. But setting a precedent that it's ok for government agencies to inject malware and attack citizen computers seems like a very slippery slope.

Boobytraps, land mines, etc. are often banned because they attack people without discretion. Injecting malware into someone's machine just because they stumble upon an URL (be it .com, .onion, .xxx or .whatever) sounds criminal to me regardless of who is running the show.

I can't imagine what a warrant for this scenario would look like given it was on TOR? Who would it be issued for?
