I think it is important to make the distinction that it is the impact of the breach that is important and not the breach itself. If the information gained from a breach, say credit card numbers, is immediately rendered useless by the action of the breached company should they be penalized? I also find it unlikely that penalties would be accurately priced, which is a whole separate conversation of perverse incentives.

I think most data breaches boil down to poor culture and management. Software maintenance gets cheaper as you do it more frequently since the complexity of deferred maintenance scales exponentially. It's a lot easier to justify doing things when the costs to do them are nearly nothing. This is ideally where we should aim as an industry.

r/all was a place to check the pulse of the online community. News rose to the top FAST.

Now there are so many rules in place due to over moderation that Reddit feels like the last online community to know about breaking news.

The general consensus has shifted to be much less like the pragmatic tech community (value in free speech and rights along with being a good person) to a virtue signaling group that values feelings over anything else.

Well, that all probably sounds like I'm a disgusting person full of hate, but I'm really not. I want everyone to be able to have a fair shot at achieving their dreams. I just think we're going to be able to make healthy progress with such censorship and handholding.
It isn't new debt, the increase in debt already happened when interest rates were at zero.

Suppose you have an existing $500K variable rate mortgage. Interest rates increase by 0.5%, you have to transfer $2500/year from buying stuff to paying interest, reducing inflation. If you had had a $200K mortgage it would only have been $1000/year for the same rate increase.

The high level of existing debt has made the rate increases unusually powerful at fighting inflation.
They can't offer to give you access in exchange for consent to use your data. By not granting access at all, they are complying with the GDPR. However, as always, it's important to point out that you don't ever have to ask for consent with the GDRP. If the data you are gathering necessary in order to complete the service, then people can't even object to it. If the data you are gathering is a legitimate interest (for marketing, or whatever), then you don't have to ask for permission, you just have to allow people to object after the fact. It's only if you don't technically need the data to do the job and you have no legitimate interest in the data that you have to ask for consent.

Not to put too fine a point on it, if they have no need for the data and they have no legitimate interest in it and they don't even want to ask for your consent... do you really want to go to that site? It's pretty clear what they think of you.

> Its much less expensive and quicker for both parties.

Really? I'm hold a promissory note in a company that is in default. Unfortunately, I made a rookie mistake and agreed to an arbitration clause in the note. Suing the company in a real court would be quite inexpensive. Filing an arbitration claim is quite a few times as expensive. Even if I filed and won an arbitration case, I would then, drumroll please, need to sue in a real court in order to obtain an actual enforceable judgment.

So I'm rather unconvinced.

The education system isn't flawed. It's working as intended. You just don't see what its design goals actually are, or you disagree with what they should be.

AMD has a CUDA Transpiler (https://github.com/ROCm-Developer-Tools/HIP) and a multitude of other open source libraries through GPUOpen ( https://gpuopen.com/professional-compute/).

Everything you cited exists also in the traditional university system. Projects (one or two per subject per semester, sometime with a high degree of liberty for the details), getting help from other students (just go in the CS student association and ask), tutoring others (I did it a few time), independence & responsability (going only in class you need, skipping others and taking the exams), going beyond what asked (for instance, majoring in two diploma at the same time), etc. You can make your university journey almost anything you want. But the main failure point of most student imo is that they consider the teacher are against them. Some are, but most aren't and are really likely to help any motivated student who ask for it.

So, I thing that the no teacher style school is very bad in the sense that it have no-one to force student learning stuff they don't want to but that are important. This can form bubbles of knowledge with important or interesting things not included. One the reverse, the traditional university still consider students as children (which most are, actually) and does not give enough space to do thing in one's way. It is still possible to go, but it require a lot of efforts.

I concur. Last night I spent 30min trying to change the setting of my house heater. It's a Bosch heater, and one of the better quality brands. My! It bemuses how they could have gotten the UX so bad. It has only a handful of simple functions -- it reminded me of PG once mentioned he got an error message from trying to adjust settings on an oven. I have had similar experiences with my car. Did these designers even bother to use their own products.
> Clinton moved the goalposts by saying that people would downgrade the quality of their purchases as the price increased. So for example, instead of buying authentic Levi's jeans, they claimed that people would buy cheaper Chinese-made jeans.

Rather than inflation, this is because of the Baumol cost disease. American labor is too expensive to cost-effectively spend it manufacturing jeans anymore.

> As well, have you noticed that the size of food products has been cut by 10% or more? A "pint" of ice cream is actually 14 oz now. That's a decrease of 12.5%, but same price. Same goes for orange juice, packages of bacon are 375g instead of 500g, etc

There are also clear cut examples of food portion sizes rising over time. Most pints of ice cream are still full pints; Haagen-Dazs is the main brand that shortchanges their pints.

I remember watching an interview on Golf Channel long ago, someone asked Bubba Watson about his $100k watch, and he said he would never ever spend that much money on a watch.

At this point, everybody knows that the data mining operations run by Google and Facebook are detrimental to society as a whole for a lot of reasons, but more importantly because they represent a big brother operation without having elected officials.

What is going on with Android nowadays is beyond comprehension in the privacy aspect.

I believe you would need to threaten to sue, or sue. That costs time, money, and/or a lawyer's time, which costs a lot of money. Additionally, you might not win.

Shitty/unethical companies do this a lot. They find clients and they pay engineers to make everything work ASAP.

Your code was a convenient way to fix everything with plausible deniability. I'm sorry for this, and I hope you do win if you sue!

I think it’s mostly a matter of who you trust. For me the deciding factor was mostly that I trust the EU/Swiss authorities to spy responsibly more than the US ones.

Amazing. I remember 555 monostable and astable multivibrator and PLL were classic school projects. First simulation in P-Spice followed by implementation on bread-board.
Let me try saying it differently. The following code is poorly written:

char *buf = ...;
uint32_t word = *(int32_t *)buf;
uint32_t host_word = ntohl(word);

Because you just type-punned the read from buf. (In fact, this code is UB.) You could write it a little better like:

char *buf = ...;
uint32_t word;
memcpy(&word, buf, 4);
uint32_t host_word = ntohl(word);

Although IIRC there is or at least was still some disagreement as to whether this might be UB. You could use a union to make it definitely not UB.

But none of these variants are sensible, and, in fact, they don't even translate to most safer languages than C. The correct way to write this code is:

char *buf = ...;
uint32_t host_word = ((uint32_t)buf[0] << 24) |
((uint32_t)buf[1] << 16) | ((uint32_t)buf[2] << 8) |
(uint32_t)buf[3];

On any recent compiler, this will generate as good or better code, and it doesn't make pointless assumptions about the representation of uint32_t on the platform you're using.

So I stand by my claim: well-written modern C code should not contain any "network-order" values. They should contain bytes, vectors of bytes, and numbers.
Truth be told, 'big and diverse' is actually a mild euphemism for something much darker. The medical situation is only a symptom. Look at US history before FDR... especially labor conditions. 'And crowned thy good with brotherhood' is only part of the picture.

I actually have nothing against frivolous spending, since buying a yacht doesn't subtract from the high end talent pool.

Instead it was spent on some kind of spectacle of arbitrary mental effort.
Slightly off-topic (apologies): I love DPReview. They are one of those review websites that don't give a shit about webdesign or new trends. Their website still looks outdated and I really love that.

Most importantly, they year after year deliver deep technical information about cameras, lenses and sensors that very few other review websites cover. Objective, unbiased and to the point.

We need a DPReview for audio products. It seems like the entire Audio review process, methodology, the people behind it and the consumers are all insanely annoying, deluded and completely out of touch with objective reality. I never read audio product reviews for this reason - it lacks scientific truth.
From what I gather, Linus is sincere and making a good faith effort. I think that's a better signal than writing a Code of Conduct. CoCs strike me as virtue signaling more often than not.

Currently Bitcoin has a delay of something like 50 blocks before the block reward is spendable. This imposes a minimum size on the amount of float needed to pull off the attack.

One strategy any proof-of-work chain can use is to just increase the delay. This doesn't mitigate the attack vector though so much as just make it a bit more expensive to get started. It also has imposes some extra costs on miners and may discourage smaller miners from even joining the network.
