Disappointed that one of the lessons was not “don’t deploy on Friday and then immediately run out the door.” I know most of you will say that that shouldn’t be an issue if you have proper tests, devops, etc., but this type of thing is the reason that Ops usually controls the releases. Yes, I know, Ops is obsolete and can go suck a lemon, but it’s stuff like this that shows the wisdom of the older ways.

So yeah, be nice to Ops too, because they actually have experience in stuff like this and one weekend of downtime is not an appropriate price to pay for every developer to learn a lesson.
Do you know the rest? That seems pretty damning. The researcher followed the bug bounty rules to the letter and Facebook applied a different set of rules, then intimidated his employer. It's also duplicitous for them to claim his bug as inconsequential, and his access as a huge privacy violation.

If Facebook wanted to discourage pivoting access, they should have clearly stated so as Google and Microsoft have.

I'm curious what kind of sensors you're using and what kind of battery life you get out of them. Every z-wave sensor I tried had abysmal battery life at any kind of reasonable update rates.
Your post conveniently ignores the fact that over the last 20 years cars and trucks have become physical delivery vehicles for software. In fact, the complexity of the software running in any manufacturer's modern car dwarfs the complexity of the hardware in the car itself.

So, if you have a car manufactured any time in the last 25 years, you're running software that hasn't likely been patched in years, has a ton of unknown defects and bugs, and might kill you if you hit an edge case that wasn't tested before it was shipped to you.

I much prefer Tesla's ability to fix software defects remotely than driving a defective piece of software. For example, I had a 2009 Hyundai Genesis that worked great until I had about 75,000 miles on it, then it mysteriously started losing engine power and I had the entire computer reboot a couple times while I was driving. Imagine your entire instrument cluster going dark and losing engine, braking, and steering power while you're traveling 75 mph on the freeway. The Hyundai dealership said the only way I could get a software/firmware upgrade was by purchasing a $500 maps DVD and having them update my system manually, which takes several hours, for which I'd have to pay one of their trained technicians to do it. Fuck them.

I vowed after that to never buy a car again that can't receive OTA updates. Would you buy a smart phone that can never get security fixes or updates? Given the tech in our cars now, why would you buy a car that wouldn't either?

If you only need 8 hours of work from a worker, then find someone looking only for part time work. They're out there.

The problem is there are millions of people working 40 hours a week or more , sometimes at multiple jobs, who still can't afford to guarantee they and their families eat 3 healthy meals a day or go to the doctor.

Look at the increase in worker productivity since the 70s and then look at the lethargic growth in worker compensation. Those two variables should be tightly coupled.

That seems to match the right tool (AI driving) to the right job (well-defined, well-controlled situations).

I seem to recall that similar ideas go back to the early 1990s, at least, for highways: Drive your car to the entrance ramp, plug in your destination, and the autonomous system takes it from there.

But for many of these things, such as the Bay Bridge or a highway, it seems like there is a simpler solution: Put the cars on a train and take them across by rail. I suspect I'm not the first person to think of it so I wonder why it's never been done (i.e., what problem I'm overlooking).
I think maybe frameworks should stop calling it debug mode and start calling it "danger mode". Because clearly people aren't paying attention to what it actually does.
> Isn't that why the FBI made such a big fuss about Apple not "cooperating" to backdoor devices?

They did a hell of a spin job grandstanding about the "impossibility" of cracking iPhones (protip: it never has been), but the FBI only made a stink about it because they can't crack the phones without paying Cellebrite a ton of money to develop new 0-days, which in the end is exactly what they ended up having to do. If Apple would factory-backdoor the things, the FBI could crack them themselves.

Every LE department has been handing seized iPhones over to Cellebrite for years for important enough cases. LE don't want to have to rely on a third-party (and foreign) contractor with a service monopoly anymore.

> If the frontend can use the API, can I, the guy with a curl command or headless browser, use it too?

No.

> How are you generating that list of queries?

I believe the queries in the device UI code are replaced with identifying hashes as part of the build and those prebaked queries are deployed to the GraphQL server.

> Unless the surface is sufficiently small at which point no prob, my issue is with flexible GraphQL systems.

This is still as flexible for UI developers since this is simply a build time optimization / limitation.

For publicly accessible GraphQL APIs I believe the common approach is to calculate a cost for the query and limit what users / queries can do that way.

They also benefit from the stability of operating within a pretty known system and the fact that they are able to afford legal expertise. Big businesses may get hurt by patent trolls, but I’d imagine that this is less strategically important to their business than using their patents to prevent competitors from starting up or from taking away their business.

Small businesses get hurt the most by the patent system. A patent troll can bankrupt them or make them unfundable, big business can squash them (perhaps offensively, eg a big business takes a small business to court even though they can’t win, so the small business can’t raise funding and has to pay tons in legal costs), and they still have to pay lawyers for advice on how to protect themselves even if nobody goes after them.
The Tether Has Broken
It's not a hack. Think of Asterisk as if it was an http server + backend code. How do you scale?

You scale horizontally using proxies (kamailio dispatchers), (what you would call "reverse proxies in the http world), and use external storage / database / logic.
Except that the backwards compatible point is nonsense and actually a PRO REST argument.

If your database schema changes (or the orchestrated microservices), i.e. a field in a table gets dropped (lets say new security policies make this field not readable to everyone) you have NO way of making that change without breaking your GraphQL queries. Because you cannot update that queries that are stored on your users Apps, you will end up having more and more hacks in your GraphQL Server to account for all possible query combinations that are out in the wild. And because you have to account for those hacks, you will need to maintain a list of all old and deprecated queries that exist(ed) in your frontend code and make it available to the backend devs, that maintain the hacks in the GraphQL server adapter.

With REST, you would have to do the same hacks of course to maintain backwards compatibility - but as the REST Endpoint (and the queries they represent) reside in the backend and are not updated or removed, it is way easier to keep track of the hacks to maintain compatibility.

We just started using AWS workdocs, which has clients for Mac and Windows (plus iOS and Android iirc). You can either use it as a network drive (Windows only and not fully baked yet) or as a synched folder. There’s also a web interface where you can see the different versions, comment on a file, and which has a decent integration with Office (Workdocs Companion): the file opens in Office, you save your changes and it gets updated remotely.

Honestly it’s not great (esp. the UIs which definitely need improvement) but it seems much less erratic than OneDrive. Plus they have frequent updates and they seem to read the questions on the support forum so I’m cautiously hopeful it’ll improve over time.

However the best document sharing experience I had was with Jive. It’s what Sharepoint should have been. You get a nice, powerful intranet and a great plugin for Office which makes editing a shared, online file as easy and seamless as a local one. Unfortunately they don’t have a SaaS model (last time I checked) so you have to buy the software and set up and manage the infra yourself.

Certainly not in the US. If I'm wrong in that assertion, please let me know, because I'd be very tempted to buy one.
Everyone in the US who makes more than 10k (which I assume would be the minimum bracket for a fine) has to file income tax, and it would take a single bill to make this info available for the purposes of assessing fines; it doesn’t have to be public. And sure, some people cheat on taxes, but some do in Scandinavia as well.

The Problem with Machine Learning in Healthcare
Hope your short position is huge.
In the case of turning flexibility at compile time to a fixed set at runtime and the server side only accepts that fixed set, I'd say that's definitely a lot less of a concern than the literal GraphQL queries I've seen in use at runtime by UIs. At that point, your only major concern is how many of those devs use those sans review by person familiar with the storage that could optimize it. After that, your fixed hash request hasn't improved things from a runtime standpoint over a fixed URL request. The disappointing internal team segregation that makes this a required path to go from actual query and programming languages to pseudo ones is concerning.

But for that common approach for APIs you mention, that cost calculator is a bit scary vs limiting the caller. Now if you're a big shop and you need to essentially expose a query language, ok. But for most, the flexibility is really not necessary and bites later with all the possible combinations of requests.
That is only true when housing supply is unlimited and competition between landlords drives prices down. (In that case, housing stays cheap and there is no problem to solve.)

When housing is limited, excess demand (competition among tenants) already pushes prices above the landlord’s costs. As a result, the landlord pockets an unearned profit.

In such a situation taxing landlords does not change prices paid by tenants because they are already paying as much as the demand side of the market will bear. It just redistributes the profit toward public uses.

For more about this basic idea, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand or your favorite high school economics textbook.
