My inference is that trust is sectarian. In America people trust the politicians in their own political party almost implicitly. We trust our own family and social groups. When presented with an outsider we often mistrust them to some degree, at least initially.

Companies that wish to appeal to broad demographics can't play this game because they can't pick sides. The companies that do pick a niche, i.e. a torrent website that advocates a free and open internet, crypto, whatever, can gain a strong following but pays a steep price in the process.

Facebook and Google can never be trustworthy companies because they must appeal to advertisers and consumers at the same time.

It could have been because of parents reading books aloud to children, with no back-and-forth. Apparently this wasn't it though.

Knowing this helps parents with limited time to know that it's better to focus on back-and-forth than to just read more books all the time.
I used to support a product with a similar fix. We had a bunch of desktop PCs in the field that were only used from January through April of each year, and usually powered-down the other eight months.

Apparently, after several months of no use, the hard drive bearings had a tendency to stick, and the temporary solution that often worked was to have the client lift the front of the box a few inches off the desk and let it drop, unseizing the bearing.

A lot of reactions along the lines of "I can't believe that worked!"

It follows logically. The contention is "You're not a software engineer yet in the sense of the argument that I'm making". The "argument I'm making" is that software engineering is about adapting to change. If you've only been in the business for two years, no sufficiently meaningful change has happened yet that you've had to adapt to. I also don't see how it's elitist. Learning to code (from a book, for example) and sticking with it for more than two years is rather attainable and hardly the reserve of any elite. I'll have you know that I have not spent any extended period of my life in America and didn't know what "murica" even meant until looking it up just now.

For people who've never had the experience, it's stunning how fast a stray kick into the silt can turn the water in a cave pitch black. Like barely able to see your hand dark. Even when you're used to it most people will find it very claustrophobic.

From the surface, it's easy to say just follow the guide cables the divers have no doubt installed. Doing that in person is quite different.

The other issue is these are some calorie deprived kids probably not in shape for an extended workout. Maintaining body heat and fighting a not-particularly strong current for 10 hours is taxing for very physically fit people who haven't been food deprived. And who aren't scared out of their minds and burning through oxygen.
There are more technical details of the attack here - https://www.timehop.com/security/technical

"On December 19, 2017 an authorized administrative user's credentials were used by an unauthorized user to log into our Cloud Computing Provider. This unauthorized user created a new administrative user account, and began conducting reconnaissance activities within our Cloud Computing Environment. For the next two days, and on one day in March, 2018, and one day in June, 2018, the unauthorized user logged in again and continued to conduct reconnaissance."

So someone logged into their Cloud Provider backend using a user/pass, created an admin account, and watched for 6 months before trying database extraction.

Means a few things went wrong:

* First, they had a guessable user/pass or, more likely, it was compromised some other way (social engineering, former employee, or it was in an email account that was itself compromised).

* Second, they had no 2FA on their cloud provider logins. Given that this login allows the creation of admin accounts, that's a pretty big oversight

* Third, they had an account with admin privileges running around for 6 months without anyone noticing. It kept its activity very limited, but a routine audit of all admin accounts would have found the new account. An alert that warned if a new admin account was created would have found it.

So well done to TimeHop for coming forward with such a full and clear explanation, but this was a very preventable attack.
Because many webdevs think that our grey bears and knowledge of doing native applications are worthless, and who does native anyway.

Not speaking for dang, but for me local perspective means a Chinese perspective from Chinese people, be they actually living in Country or ex-pats living abroad consisting of regular folk [city and country] along with students and local experts. Chinese people are not "afraid" to speak their mind when they have something to say, so long as they trust you to not out them [when speaking on sensitive subjects].
It's an interesting article by a noted author, but the trend seems to be going the opposite way: Microsoft is getting more and more intrusive with each generation.

I few months ago I wiped Windows 10 off my system did a fresh install of Windows 7. My sanity level has increased significantly. Cardiologists around the world can rejoice... at least until the EOL of Windows 7.
China has had broad surveillance for decades. but it was manual and village or employer based. Each worker had a dang'an, a paper-based personnel record which follows them from employer to employer, plus a similar record kept by local police.

As cities grew and employees become more mobile, keeping this current and useful started to break down. So the central authorities are modernizing their surveillance system.

Such control predates communism in China. Something like this was in place when China was mostly peasants, with local village officials keeping records. This goes back at least to the Qing Dynasty, around 1750. The concept that the government knows where everyone is and what they're doing goes way back in China.
There's something of "In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges" in your victimhood concept. Or updating the concept to current times, forbidding those who can couch surf indefinitely with friends in a dozen cities and the friendless from sleeping in their car.

In aggregate, the white people I know do have more couch surfing opportunities than women of color. And more VC access. But individually, some do not, through no fault of their own, only the circumstances they were born into. To take an extreme example: Elizabeth Holmes, who is also a "victim" of this fund, is never actually going to need this fund; her father has a direct line of communication to Henry Kissinger and was able to raise 10x this funds entire capital. What I'm trying to say is this kind of concept actually doesn't victimize the most privileged like Holmes, and maybe you (?) but it does exclude some who exist on the margins of startup space.

Empirically, what this could mean if this concept becomes a trend, is that people with good ideas and the ability to execute may be less likely to do a startup, considering it a rich person's game. A little like saying just move to Brooklyn and become an artist. We're still very far away from that but I don't think it's absurd to imagine us ending up there; if you talk to people outside the US, there's a strong belief that only the "right kind" of people can raise capital.
It's an interesting stat, but are there very many companies that could sell for $38M before raising a Series A?
But that assumes that all other things are equal, which isn't true. It's a very different experience working for a startup.

That said, if one has the choice between a startup job vs. one with equity with real value, they should only consider taking any startup comp package with the intention of being fully okay with their decision if the equity goes to zero. And note that this is a decision you can reevaluate periodically.

Read https://github.com/jlevy/og-equity-compensation and ask all of the questions. Probably ask a couple more, like about liquidation preferences and conversion of vested ISOs to NSOs with long expiration if you leave before liquidity.

Yes, good analysis. Whats the goodput (the net social benefit) and whats the badput?

Do I (for instance) pay more? I suspect I do. I suspect the intermediary sniping in, forces prices up to their advantage. The dis-equality is being abused, to extract rent from me because I am slow. HURRY UP! Bidness waiting.

Which means, overall, we all pay more. This is cost shifting to make money, by snatching goods in flight, and charging a minim to pass them on. The intermediary has no intention of doing anything except profiting. they aren't holding, they aren't helping.

I'm not a free market person btw. So, I'd probably say that about a lot of behaviour in 'the market'

> I think the web has deep characteristics that you can either lean into or struggle against.

I completely agree with that, but I don't get the impression that this is what most brutalist web approaches are really going for.

Besides, I've followed a version of the leaning into principle for all my technology work for many years, because I'm "lazy" in the programmer sense and impatient - struggling to achieve some specific vision of a solution when I can achieve the same end goal more pragmatically and much more quickly is a no-brainer choice for me. I've often successfully convinced clients of this, too. I don't plan to start calling this brutalism :)
I think they're saying the initial compromised user didn't have MFA, not that the attacker's new account didn't.

But indeed, I almost thought this attacker was pretty competent (given the wait until the holiday) until I saw they made a completely new account and left it there for half a year.

I agree with most of your points, but:

> If a teacher in the US shows a video of the Kent State protests or plays disparaging videos about Ronald Reagan, the FBI doesn’t show up.

(...) when I got to the airport, the FBI, the CIA, the TSA; they came and intercepted me. All these guys in black suits. And they took me in a back room and started questioning me about the Stokley Carmichael speech that I was listening to. They probably, you know, have some sort of bug, or some sort of tap or something... But, umm... they were very concerned with me listening to this Stokley Carmichael speech from 1967. You know? Forty years ago. So, words that he said forty... now, we have gangsta rappers - we have rappers who talk about shooting other people all the time; killing... but the FBI's not looking for them. They're looking at me because I'm listening to this speech from forty years ago. And it shows you the power of those words, is that they resonate even to now. The FBI is still scared of this man. He doesn't have nearly the same influence over our community as he did then, but yet, they still stopped me at the airport for listening to his speech.

I am very interested in learning about the project management/logistics of the operation in the cave.

You have the personnel, who speak different languages, and of variable ability.

There are tasks to accomplish such as laying supply lines, placing cylinders, finding the boys, accompanying lesser trained divers.

There are supplies to manage, food, water, equipment.

I suppose armed forces specialize in planning these types of operations. Most other project managers have more of a luxury of time. I just am amazed about how they put this together. I hope they put together a report afterwards, because people need to learn an awful lot from this.
Sorry yes for(in) over prototype chains is where mutation of the property list actually becomes visible -- mutating own properties on an object while iterating is specified IIRC, it's what happens when own properties alias properties in the prototype chain, or when mutating properties in the prototype chain.

Pot would definitely be second in my list. It's at the complete polar opposite of the addiction spectrum in my experience, and I had no physical symptoms beyond having a harder time falling asleep (incomparable to my experience with Kratom though) but the psychological addiction was the strongest out of all of them. Of course Kratom didn't cause any sort of substantial psychological addition in me, the feeling of warmth and general "feel goodness" I got from it was comparable and probably milder than a cup of coffee after having been off of it for a couple days, and subsided quite quickly after daily use.
I really meant and observed lack of respect towards others not just autorities. Reading other people's messages for lols or making cruel jokes on them did not challenged autorite - mostly powerless randoms. There is such a thing as awesome challenging autorities, but throwing temper tamtrum because autority told you not to be jerk to other kids is not that. These types were more likely to frame innocent person they disliked then stand up to defend someone else.

None of that has anything to do with kids toy hack exercises. Which are exactly that and are fine as long as they are fun.

Think of Shortcuts as a visual scripting language that leverages app functionality and ties into Siri.

Either you can use drag and drop to write your own scripts, or you can run scripts written by others.

You can run your scripts in a variety of ways, including a trigger phrase you set with Siri.

Here's a short video showing the creation of a very simple script in an older version of the program.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uK0sBtF5_1E

If you are a podcaster, you might create a more complicated script that converts a source audio file to MP3, adds MP3 tags and artwork to the resulting file and then uses FTP to upload the result to your podcasting network.

Another script idea would be to text someone a list of the blocks of free time you have open during a given workday based on your calendar data to help set up a meeting.

The possibilities are wide open. You can even tie directly into web API's.

>Questioning an idea doesn't automatically amount to advocating its "opposite" (in quotes because that would in turn reflect a further underlying supposition that the issue being discussed is binary in the first place, where it usually isn't).I'm not suggesting everybody take their beliefs about robots and replace them with some other opposite belief. I'm saying the appropriate belief might be none at all.

Fair. Maybe just say that next time. Cuts out a couple of levels of implications that others may not follow.

>What do robots deserve? I dunno, who cares, what's for dinner? They don't make meaningful decisions, aren't beings, and therefore aren't morally accountable. Ironically that ends up being a pretty good argument that we should just smash them all, because they're amoral, some of them dangerously so, but mostly it just means they're just things, and don't "deserve" anything.

Either they are amoral or they aren't. It's a binary state. Modifying it by tacking on "dangerously" is just trying to score emotional points. (The irony.)

Furthermore, we're increasingly seeing VERY significant decisions being made by digital entities, be they algorithms or robots. What news you see, the order of search results, what route you travel on the way home are ALL meaningful decisions.

>They aren't governed by morality internally so why should we apply it externally?

Because they are a by-product of our actions as moral beings. They are an extension of us in the world in that they would not exist if we had not found a need for them to exist. They also do at some level have a fundamental morality. Do they complete their task in the manner in which they were designed? If they do, they are good, if they don't, or do in an unintended way they are bad. The fact of the matter is that the childrens' behavior should elicit disgust or the recognition that the state of affairs was not right. Having to program a robot to run to an adult to avoid being "bullied" makes a sad statement about the lack of respect we find it reasonable to instill in our children for artifical systems put in place.

There is also the message being sent, as pointed out by another poster, that the system is interacting according to our more positive moral values. If it can't even do that without anti-bullying programming, there is an issue, and it isn't with the machine.

The story of Frankenstein's monster isn't just horrible because of the monster's eventual actions but also because the monster's creator, as well as the populace could not see in that "fleshy bucket of bolts" something that deserved some level of respect by virtue of its creation. I don't hold that flesh or pain is necessary to make an object worthy of respect. Only a purpose. Whether or not that purpose justifies acting maliciously towards it is entirely dependent on how it is being employed, and what the consequences and outcomes of its deployment are.

I'll not go on further except to say I vehemently disagree with your viewpoint, and implore you to think some more on the matter.
