That criticism is really lacking. The biggest evidence is that it was an X-agent variant that used a known APT 28 IP address as its C2. The author's argument about APT groups wanting to switch IP addresses around as quickly as possible doesn't make sense. If you're using an IP-address-based C2 you want to hold onto it for as long as possible, because the second you give it up you lose the ability to control all your malware. Reusing infrastructure is very common, and is not at all a sign "sloppiness" as the author claims. APT groups generally don't care if you can correlate their different attacks, because it doesn't actually affect them. And having a complete separation of all your infrastructure for every attack is time consuming and has a serious burden of effort that limits the pace at which you can attack, all for very little gain. Infrastructure gets reused all the damn time, as does malware, and even certificates.

Your approach to murex "to scratch an itch" reminds me of Larry Wall's motivation to create Perl. :) Did you draw any inspiration from Perl? What about PowerShell? That's Microsoft's now cross-platform shell language - it also enables one to accomplish a lot with simple one liners.

Thanks for sharing! I'm using NixOS right now & perhaps it would benefit from a murex package.

Interesting article, but I had a hunch, and after some research, I found that the first use of "type" was actually in 1945(ish), in Konrad Zuse's Plankalkül[1]. I wouldn't be surprised if there's something even earlier.

My hunch was motivated by the fact that Frege had already made the very insightful distinction between functional and non-functional types in the 1890s, and that type theory had already been around for a fairly long time (at least since Russell and Whitehead's Principia). In other words, just about everything had already been formalized, you just needed to have someone come in and say "computer programs are better behaved when data has a type". In the case of Plankalkül, the types of variables are stored as single bits[2].

Working is studying to move up the ladder. There's a reason a senior developer makes more than a junior developer. Even if you work a completely no-skill job doing something like sweeping floors... if you show up on time, work hard, etc. you will get references for better jobs with more opportunity to grow. Or perhaps if you do a good job sweeping floors, maybe you'll get the opportunity to get promoted to working the stock room, and then managing the stock room, etc.

The "matter within the jurisdiction" of border control is to inspect anything being brought across the border. You're not impeding that. You're simply not bringing something across the border. This is different from e.g. hiding drugs in your suitcase (or even data on a device): there you're impeding their ability to inspect those drugs.
With counter-terrorism, I would hope companies then have a contingency plan for governments imminently banning laptops on international flights.

I'd say for most folks in North-America, a car like the Volt makes more sense than a purely electric vehicle like the Bolt. 50 miles range on all-electric power and then the gas generator kicks in. No range anxiety, no long wait time at charging stations either.
I'd look at old DOS applications - the last mass market (i.e. not just technical users) for non-GUI apps. Although towards they end, they were often just aping Windows GUIs as well as they could (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Common_User_Access )
What you're writing makes a lot of sense to me as a non-American where car culture is much less strong. I think that the US currently is undergoing a shift towards less car usage, replacing some of it with delivery services, home offices, more central living and public transport. There are still strong forces that counter this movement in the US, namely the way overregulated metropolitan housing market (compared to Japan or even Europe) and the political difficulties and ballooned cost of public infrastructure, but nonetheless the shift is happening albeit slowly

What does this mean for malls? Just look abroad. We do have malls, just smaller ones that you drive 30min to at the maximum, after that the added value becomes too weak. Japan kinda shows the endgame, with malls fully integrated in many train stations, so you can go for some shopping with minimal loss of time. Amazon is extremely strong in Japan, with same-day delivery for prime members, yet this doesn't seem to affect the more upscale malls that you describe much. Specialised stores for electronics or clothing meanwhile compete mainly on service, in some areas also on price (Amazon does have quite a different cost structure that makes certain things quite a bit more expensive).

Tl;dr: The only constant thing is change - looking abroad helps to see possible versions of the future.

Is it possible you've worked out west and in the mountains more recently than east coast/midwest? I ask because I've worked in a lot of different cultures in the midwest, from banks to startups, and tattoos are not an issue in any of them. 15 years ago that wasn't so true but in the last 7 or 8 for sure I've never seen it be an issue. Facial hair hasn't been an issue ever in my experience.

> The notion of not knowing why recording sound could be useful to me is hard to grasp as someone who has always been around it.

This seems like (from their point of view) the Blub paradox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Graham_(computer_programm... ), and (from our point of view) something of its converse. From their point of view, they couldn't see the importance of sound recording because they didn't have any existing mechanisms to make use of it. From our point of view, we can't not see the importance of sound recording, because we have so many ways of making use of it.

Walking barefoot has 2 fairly immediate effects: the skin under your feet becomes much thicker and tough; and your step becomes much lighter and reactive. If you stepped on a tack barefoot, it'd hurt a bit, but it most likely wouldn't pierce through your foot like it would the sole of the shoe, because your foot is much more aware with what it's walking on, and you don't slam down your feet on the ground as much as you walk around.

Putting rigid shoes on your feet is like stuffing your nose with cotton - you're completely blocking a very sensitive organ to the rest of the world.

All this just to say: people who walk barefoot every day are not worried of stepping on tacks :)

I'm not sure if you've read Gordon's work, but he actually advocates a surtax based on whether an owner's worldwide income is filed in Canada rather than an n% tax on foreign owners at purchase.

No, you're deleting it because you don't want to transport it across the border. You're just not bringing it, and border control can't inspect what you don't bring.

>If you only had one pulse per second at 40 mW you would be looking at 30 mJ of energy per pulse

40 mW peak power, not average power. Average power somewhat less, maybe 20 mW.

>Also, sunlight is specified in intensity (power/area), and here we only have laser power, not laser spot size, so it is hard to make a fair comparison.

With sunlight and with a laser scanner, the entire body will be illuminated with that power, very roughly. If you stand directly in front of the laser scanner that 40 mW will fall over your entire body, and a similar fraction of the energy will go into your eyes as with sunlight.

If you spun up your own package, and didn't distribute, probably. The IceCat package is 746 lines of Scheme at the moment, so porting it might not be complete hell. [1]

That being said, the current IceCat is based on Firefox 52, so that's a fairly close version-parity, even if you miss out on the nonfree aspects of FF.

Guix currently has libvirt 3.2.0, whereas the very latest is 3.3.0. A fairly close parity, and I'd expect an update to the Guix package soon-ish.

Is this not a business trying to maximize profit for itself? If you find this abhorrent than you must also despise capitalism because that is all this is. I may not personally like it as a consumer of their product but I find this to be a clever way to maximize profits for a middle man.
That's certainly true once you get to the kinetic stage of war with people actually battling, but I'd back up and look at the political breakdowns that led to that outcome.

The point of travel mode isn't to dodge border control policies or questioning; the point is to prevent the exposure of credentials when travelling, even if the exposure is to a border agency.

If a border agent asks you directly, "Did you remove information from this device to prevent us or others from seeing it when entering or within this country?" the only truthful answer is "Yes", but travel mode has still achieved its goal. Even if they confiscate your device, they can't access the credentials. You may have other issues entering the country but your data is kept secure and private.

Known problem. I first saw it in 2003, when working on a DARPA Grand Challenge vehicle. Some materials are very low reflectivity in IR. Charcoal grey furniture upholstery material, as often seen on office chairs, is one. A SICK LMS LIDAR can't range that material at point-blank range.

The safe solution to this is not to look for "obstacles", but to profile the road ahead with a high-mounted laser. If you're not getting a return, either it's not very reflective, or there's a cliff ahead. In either case, you don't want to go there at speed.

As you get closer to the trouble spot, you're more likely to get a bounce from even a low-reflectivity material, because the returned light increases. So you can deal with this by slowing down until the data improves. Off-road vehicles must do this. On-road vehicles can use other data sources for assurance there's a road there, and radars are capable of detecting anything as big and metallic as a car.

This is the case in Canada as well, if the buyer so chooses, just wrap it in a corporation.

Congestion is a function of the capacity of a roadway, and the number of vehicles trying to use it at a given point in time. I'd suspect that the only thing any given citizen is able to do is reduce the number of vehicles at a given time. This means either you don't drive (at that time), you car pool, or you take public transport.

Assume all drivers like to maintain a gap of approximately 3 seconds between them and the vehicle in front of them. That means that for a single lane, there is a maximum rate of 1 car every 3 seconds at any given speed. If two lanes at maximum capacity merge together, ideally they 'zipper' together but there will no longer be a 3 second gap between cars, so everybody has to slow down. Twice as many cars in the same amount of space suggests to me that everybody now needs to go half as fast, and traffic backs up. The same applies for multi-lane roads. A 4 lane highway has a capacity of 4 cars every 3 seconds, however the effects of mergers will diffuse across the lanes somewhat.

Interestingly, we can treat slower vehicles in the same class as mergers, and bottlenecks. Consider a gentleman in his vintage whatever going 60kph on a 3 lane, 100kph road. Aside from being dangerous, we can actually consider this to be a moving merger from 3 lanes to 2. Now consider a leisurely cyclist at 35kph, or a broken down car in a side lane. The slower a road user is travelling relative to traffic, the more they appear like a fixed merger. We can also consider erratic movements by other drivers, which cause other road users to slow down in a similar category.

Ideally, one should travel when roads aren't at capacity. That means that users are have no longer hit their 3 second limit and have perhaps 5 second spacing, or are even unable to see the car in front. This affords higher speeds, more predictable behaviour, and a more peaceful commute for everybody.

If you can't avoid travelling when roads are at capacity, your only option is to reduce the number of vehicles on the road. Car pool or take public transport. If all users went from a single road user per vehicle, to four per vehicle, demand would be reduced by 400%.

Interestingly, you might also consider riding a motorcycle. When cars are at a standstill, motorcycles are able to filter through slow and stopped traffic. Any given car replaced with a motorcycle will increase capacity slightly depending on traffic circumstances. Obviously, one should evaluate their interest and risks associated with such a decision before making the leap. A confident driver making the transition to an unconfident motorcyclist may not have a net positive outcome.

Unfortunately, due to the bottleneck case described above, I wouldn't recommend cycling unless suitable bike trails are available or traffic speeds are low enough.
