I assume you're talking about this: https://www.salon.com/2013/12/18/jamie_dimons_perp_walk_why_....

The article is garbage.

The author's theory is that Dimon is liable under SOX Section 906, because he certified that JP Morgan has "adequate internal controls" under SOX Section 404, but admitted that their controls need some work a month later.

But Section 404 is addressed to "internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting." I.e. do you have controls in place to address the Enron-style situation of people using creative accounting to cook the books. What Dimon was talking about, in the context of the London Whale, were risk management controls. The author tries to lump them together, but the statute clearly addresses accounting controls, not risk management controls. See 15 U.S.C. 7262(a). There's lots of different kinds of "controls" in a company. E.g. there are controls to make sure employees don't pay bribes in foreign countries so as to expose the company to FCPA liability. SOX only addresses controls in connection with financial reporting.

Even if you got past that hurdle, the article is wrong to suggest that you could bring a SOX 906 prosecution for violation of a SOX 404 requirement.

SOX 906 states:

> The statement required under subsection (a) shall certify that the periodic report containing the financial statements fully complies with the requirements of section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78m or 78o(d)) and that information contained in the periodic report fairly presents, in all material respects, the financial condition and results of operations of the issuer. That's the result of the Enron debacle, where the company and its auditors were misrepresenting the financial status of the company (revenues, liabilities, etc.).

Securities Exchange Act Sections 13(a) or 15(d) don't say anything about adequate internal controls. That's part of SOX Section 404. By the plain terms of the statute, Section 906 liability doesn't attach to misrepresentations directed to Section 404 requirements.

There is a separate certification provision that covers the Section 404 requirements, SOX Section 302.[1] But to bring a criminal action for violation of the Section 302 certification, you have to get a little creative, applying the other securities criminal statutes: http://dodd-frank.com/u-s-brings-criminal-charges-for-false-....

The problem is, those other criminal statutes are directed to protecting people who own or are considering buying JP Morgan stock, not people who bought financial products from JP Morgan. They're designed to prevent Dimon from misrepresenting JP Morgan's financial health to JP Morgan's investors, not to prevent JP Morgan employees from lying to transactional counterparties.

Yes and no. To simplify matters, you need not just a quantum computer but such a machine with the right sort of qubits. The right sort of qubits being logical qubits, not physical, many of which are needed for error correction.

It's not clear whether we can currently create a machine with sufficient logical qubits to run Shor's algorithm in a meaningful way.

However, out of an abundance of caution, we're "starting" now (some designs have existed for longer but this (NIST PQC) is the first competition, which focuses minds) so as to have something ready when/if a quantum computer becomes a reality.

> According to Seattle City Data, the average ride per bike here is something around 0.6 rides per bike (daily). That would likely improve again once it starts warming up.

In Seattle there are crews of people moving bikes around, usually from downhill areas to uphill areas. The public transportation & rideshare is good enough that many people are using bike shares for one way rides. Alternatively E-bikes might be used for the uphill half of the trip. The overhead of paying people to collect and move bikes doesn't scale the same way that app development and brand recognition does.

I would really like to see the numbers on how many bikes are relocated before reuse, as well as numbers on how often bikes are stolen, damaged, or lost.

I love biking, and I like the energy in urban biking that bike sharing is generating, but I am very bearish on the business of bike sharing.
The other approach, which was popular in some parts of Europe during the mid 20th century, is a practice that grew out of various Socialist and Communist movements and which is often given the umbrella term "democratic centralism". That term covers a wide variety of practices, but in places like Germany and Sweden it was understood to consist of "Get everyone together and allow them to argue an idea as fiercely as they can, but then once a decision is made, everyone needs to commit to it and take full responsibility for it."

And that method had various successes, especially in industrial settings.
I'd assume because our bodies have a pretty big buffer store to avoid pH effects, and most ammonia based derivatives would be concentrated in the external mucus membranes not the lungs, at least that's most inhaled acids work, I'm not really a bases guy.

I mean if you're inhaling anything with benzene rings on a regular basis, you should really wear a mask and so not do that, but inhaling 2x your daily dose of surfactant once a week is probably fine for the home cleaner. Skip the BBQ that weekend and it probably balances out.

Most MSP (merchant service provider) gives you control over the details you personally want to capture to verify someone. The minimum and most insecure is simply approving card based on valid number! (Not even expiration date). Then you can enable EXP, CVV and AV (address verification). Fun tip about AV: your adres doesnt matter. There is so many spellings of "oak harbour drive apartment 2" that industry pretty much gave up on some smart AI knowing them all, it and only verifies the zip code (typical gas station card usage for credit cards: verification is your zip code)

I realize some folks are able to focus on work while listening to a podcast, but sadly I’m not one of them.

I’m more interested in AR at this point: overlaying content on the real world avoids the walking around problem and at least Pokémon Go shows there’s interest outside of techie circles.

I've often wondered, especially as I cringe, clench and brace as I encounter another pothole (or chasm) why this is still an issue? Particularly since there are very well known and enduring roadways capable of handling much heavier loads and stresses - specifically airport runways and taxiways.

I can't recall ever seeing a runway shutdown abd inoperable for months on end due to "road work". I can think of a few reasons around why this isn't a thing, most of them being human factor (no money on building something I won't get paid again to fix later). The only "true" reason I can fathom is that runways are much more expensive to build. Order(s?) of magnitude more expensive.

Am I way off the mark, or is there something I've clearly missed?
What I completely don't understand is, I have tried calling hotels directly when looking at the hotels.com/expedia price, and asking if they can give me that rate directly or even a little cheaper. They never can. They always say "you'll have to book it through them" to get that rate. I've tried this at least a dozen times, always with the same answer.

Do these chains have some kind of written agreement with the websites where they are NOT allowed to undercut those prices, ever?

Really? You'd press the button when your friends call?

Or, if you phoned a store to ask whether they stocked an item you want to buy, do you think the store would press the button?

At any rate, people already (often) pay to make phone calls. By dealing a number, you're implicitly agreeing to pay. Just think of it as a charge (often waived) for the time of the person answering it.
I have studied quite a range of Bach, and have performed several cantatas (as a tenor), but as a pianist, I do tend to prefer the keyboard music.

The cello and violin suites are fantastic. In particular, it's worth commenting that when Bach writes for instruments which can only play one or two notes at a time, he still produces counterpoint by suggestion by switching between the lines.

I've seen some excellent guitar performances, but I'll need to listen to some of his lute repertoire.

I never really understood why people would want to build "applications" on top of Lambda. I have always been under the impression that the primary function of Lambda is to assist in programming the AWS environment (in conjunction with SNS and SQS).
I'm not crazy about either. Asking advice assumes they know enough to advise. If possible, I want constructive feedback. Maybe they see something I completely missed. But people giving advice often are trying to tell you how to do the whole thing rather than saying "I know nothing about 90 percent of that. But this 10 percent here, I can talk about that for the next hour and you would probably learn a few things."
In my experience so far (devOps and managing infrastructure) it is a great way to run one-off scripts in Python, JS and now Golang to invoke other services (eg. step functions, or other lambdas), publish to SNS topics or describe tables in dynamo, you get the gist. The advantage is that you only get charged for the time you use it, and their free tier is generous, so our bills from Lambda are negligible.

The paradigm I use is that of treating Lambda as "glue" between services, and it has worked out amazingly well for that. Quick invocations, seemingly infinite scaling. CW logs (monitoring) could be better, but tools like Apex help with parsing them.

Yep. The vast majority of "security" folks I've worked with could be described as "compliance" folks instead.

Almost nothing is done for actual real infosec, and in many cases their existence actually is a step backwards.

A real security minded company (and I've worked for some) don't have such a silly thing. Everyone is considered part of the security "team" since that's the only way secure services and software actually get built.

Hiring some random dude to run halfass tools against hosts and generate reports is simply checking a compliance box and only serves to act as a CYA for the organization and more importantly it's officers. Almost no one actually cares about real data security, in my experience.

There is zero connection between the nature of this story and an engineers blog post about changing jobs. That was the nature of my question. I don't care about Steve Yegge one way or the other.

> I have. He's seemingly a intelligent guy with some personality issues that have gotten him into trouble. I hope he takes time during his sentence to seek help because he seemingly has more to offer the world than trolling and unethical professional behavior.

Good point. Let's leave it at that because him helping the world is all that really matters.

Wouldn't you agree that his childish behavior is a response to the unfair reporting he received? Some people can actually see through that behavior and find more about the truth[1][2]. Would you like to receive thousands of calls every day? death threats? being told that you are are responsible for killing children in Africa? You see that he's smart and mature yet you focus on his OBVIOUS childish acting.

Yeah. A little hand waving is fine by me.

AWS lambda should be thought of as functions that can be scaled independently.

I can write the functions in any one of the languages that are supported and they are all interlace-able through an interface. If I need to use ML and prefer python libraries, I can do that and call python from a nodejs function or vice-versa. All this without having to worry abt keeping a server up and secure and scaling.
