I'll be honest it takes a bit of prodding at first and it's hard to do after the fact. I have found that it helps to ask for input from day one. For example if a user is setting up a dev environment for the first time set them up with your setup doc and tell them to take notes about any issues they have or things that should be clarified. The biggest incentive is knowing that your organization values employee feedback and will be receptive to changes they suggest.
I am not defending Google. But, come on, what are they supposed to do? America is all about shareholder value and quarter after quarter after quarter gains. We created this beast. We share in some of the blame.
Is it really so clear-cut what the US can do? Maybe this so significant (it may well be if the allegations are correct) that they're running a campaign to really try to make people believe that this story is false.

The companies may have a strong incentive to cooperate in this campaign too, both to save face and government relations.

Unfortunately all of Bloomberg's allegations don't hold much water either, even though it'd be so easy for them to make the story credible with some details.
I'm not sure what a randomized zeroing would get you from a security perspective. You shouldn't need to be concerned about other programs observing the memory, kernels are expected to give programs only zeroed pages. If you're concerned about kernel level memory dumping, randomized zeroing isn't good enough -- it may or may not have zeroed your secrets, so that's not very helpful. Background zeroing doesn't help much here either -- FreeBSD sets a target of zeroing half the free pages, so your secrets may not be zeroed for a long time.

It seems the jury is out on the benefits from a performance perspective (DragonflyBSD took out background zeroing, saying they were unable to observe a performance difference, so simpler code is better)

I bought 3 pairs of QC20s. Each of them fell apart in less than a year, despite absurdly careful care. There's a design flaw where the wire connects to the battery pack. Tape could only hold them together for so long.

After 3 failures I vowed to not buy another one, despite the exceptional sound canceling. I switched to a cheapo $30 Samsung pair I bought at an airport, beat it to hell and back, and it's in perfect shape years later.

To all the negative commenters -I stand corrected about antibiotics/growth hormones.

But I haven't heard anything about the crap they feed them, which does affect the meat you eat. Some quote from huff post:

"Eating fish is good for you, but that nutritional value is diminished in farmed fish. Farm-raised salmon have been shown to have an unhealthy high fat content and higher levels of PCBs. A recent study warned women, children, and adolescents against eating farmed salmon because salmon feed contains harmful pollutants" [1]

As someone who has spent time at East Wind and Acorn and taken the three week visitor program at Twin Oaks, I hardly know where to begin in disabusing you of the idea that these communities are libertarian. Very few members would self identify as such, and most abhor Hayak style libertarian prescriptions for society as a whole. Members have many motivations for joining but among the most common is wanting to equally share the fruits of their labor - to partially escape the exploitation of their fellow humans that unfettered unregulated capitalism inevitably produces, and which the US social safety net and graduated income taxes in particular only ameliorates inadequately. Twin Oaks publishes an Intentional Communities Directory [1] which has many listings for Europe (which may have more of an available land disadvantage). Twin Oaks has thrived since 1967 [2] and has a very large body of rules and procedures which is one of the ways they free themselves of problem individuals (other communities rely more on shunning which can be quite effective). Generally members are happy, exmembers are glad they lived there, and children are extremely well cared for. As to why there are few (but >0) second generation and lifelong members and as to how the communities coexist with the outside world - as many of them say about their relationship status "it's complicated".

One of the biggest problems in Ops is not a lack of tools, it’s an overwhelming number of them. It’s a huge effort just to even know what’s out there, what they do, and then evaluating them to find one that fits your needs. A list of 30 doesn’t help with this problem. A list of 5 would.

Keeping a remote tech job is a thrilling prospect for income-sharing communities, because it can easily cover 20% or more of the whole community’s budget.

But you can’t join an income-sharing community and “contribute 30% of your post tax salary”. That’s not how it works. It’s an income sharing community. Your income goes to the community, full stop.

Occasionally communities avert their eyes and don’t pay too much attention to passive income from investments, letting that income compound without requiring it be contributed to the community. But even that tends to be a source of much tension.

Income-sharing is intense. It’s a major commitment (while you’re there; you’re always free to leave).

Could be due to losses in "translation", but this paragraph seems odd:

> Three security experts who have analyzed foreign hardware implants for the U.S. Department of Defense confirmed that the way Sepio's software detected the implant is sound. One of the few ways to identify suspicious hardware is by looking at the lowest levels of network traffic. Those include not only normal network transmissions, but also analog signals -- such as power consumption -- that can indicate the presence of a covert piece of hardware.

Ideas what they mean? I'd be surprised if mainboards etc exposed power consumption of random periphery parts. Maybe sleep/link states of the actual NIC that get influenced?
I'm a techie and I'm not even 100% sure how to create a single arbitrary DNS record.

Same here. I have four different Supermicro motherboards purchased in May for servers in my home. I'm sure there exist people and organizations in the world capable of putting malicious hardware on one of these such that I can't detect them. But insofar as I've personally examined them and the available evidence from Bloomberg, color me skeptical...

On the free tier you're just hosting static files on Netlify, so they can cache very effectively. Also since you're just hosting a set of static files you're hardly "locked in", so if for whatever reason the free tier stops being appealing you can just move on to a different provider.
I can't imagine the cost of x-ray-ing all motherboards on an AWS scale.
As Greenwald pointed out years ago, it's sensible for readers to ask why sources are anonymous.

If they're saying something inconvenient to their government or employer, that's neutral or even positive for their credibility. If they're saying something convenient but classified or otherwise not-for-release, that's generally neutral; 'authorized leaking' is an established practice. But if they're saying something that won't cause them problems and isn't a secret, then it's strange. It raises the possibility that they're anonymous because the claim isn't true and they don't want to be embarrassed, or even that the story writer encouraged anonymity to hide the weakness of the source.

If Bloomberg is saying "we used 17 sources including intelligence officials and an anonymous source who confirmed the hack", well, easy money says the key anonymous source doesn't measure up to the other 16.
Sorry for not being clear.
My idea was a small file on A.com/mailchimp that takes the arguments and passes them on to mailchimp's servers (possibly already spreading, e.g. mailing1.a.com.mailchimp.com/clicktrack?click=...)
This would redirect to A.com's targeted link.

The processing power would still be needed on mailchimp's side. All the customer (A.com) does, is add a tiny redirecting script on their site.

Yes, I have a pair of Bose QC15's ($150 refurb) that have given me excellent service for the past 3 years, but lately I've discovered that earplugs work just as well if you're not trying to listen to music.

Also when you're trying to sleep on a plane, Bose's active noise-cancellation stops working when you lean your head hard against a headrest (such that the earmuffs touch the headrest). I think it's just the nature of active noise-cancellation. I've resorted to earplugs when trying to sleep while flying.

How to post a site to IPFS easily
It's true, the build quality is bad and my coworker has the same exact issues as mine (rubber coating came off the casing, volume up button stops clicking but can still be mushed down to use). The battery pack casing started to open up and would cause line noise, especially when charging.. I glued the case back together and it seems to be better now. I think I could have used the soft case more, instead of keeping them bare in my pockets, but it seems inevitable that they'd fall apart anyway. I can't really recommend them because of these issues, but the noise canceling is one of those magical life upgrades for me.

They're a major research university with a $3 billion dollar endowment, a Pac-12 football team, and the largest employer in Washington State after its own government.

To my mind Google was able to "not evil" while they were the only big player in online ads. Then Facebook showed up and started threatening Googles revenue. They had to play catch up e.g Google Plus and a general race to the bottom ensued.

As someone who works in a garage most of the day as a mechanic, just what is office noise? they all seem pretty quiet to me. What are we trying to reduce?

Around the shop I carry a few pairs of disposable foam Howard Leight earplugs. They come in small plastic bags, or you can buy them in boxes of 500. I'll hand them out to apprentices I catch not wearing ear protection or to old timers so they can sneer at me. they work wonders for any kind of noise. We once had a garbage truck plow through a rolling dumpster out back and I never knew about it until lunch.
> We are working with you to make sure your careers are not affected by this.

This is how you can hurt recruitment efforts indirectly. If I, as an employer, avoid Xooglers to make a statement, even if it has no material impact to the actual employment market as a whole, some people will hesitate before working there in the first place. People should work on parts of the company they can brag about shamelessly or any efforts as a tech community to blackball developers of perceived immoral features will expand to developers of entire companies.

Similarly, employees of these companies will now have to realize they are judged by the company they keep so to speak. I will say Google employees, compared to other companies, seem to have taken this judgement seriously. Don't think "I didn't work in that area" will save you if "that area" comes to fruition. There is not much pity for employees with other outs/options.

The Most Important Chart in Marketing (And Why)
Okay, you have the CLI tool in one or more isolated Docker instances. What then?
I used to host a bunch of Wordpress and Drupal sites on Linux servers. Properly setting file and directory permissions is a huge part of keeping those CMSs secure. The defaults are bad and there is a ton of horrible advice online in the form of troubleshooting threads with responses like "I made the error go away by setting everything to 777!"

So I wrote two shell scripts (one for each CMS) that could be easily customized for each site. I ran it by hand whenever we did a deployment, and also set it to run every hour in crontab. That way even if someone changed the permissions away from safe (by accident or maliciously), they would revert to safe pretty quickly.

I've since moved all those sites to WP Engine and Pantheon, so now the directory permissions are someone else's problem. :-)

I've never used any active noise cancelling headphones. I swear by wearing shooting or construction style hearing protectors. I wear them on air planes with my corded earbuds under them. And since I haves tarted a job where I share an office I definitely swear by them when an officemate starts talking loudly on the phone. I have these but I only bought them because they were in stock at the store https://www.amazon.com/3M-Earmuff-Protectors-Hearing-Protect...

I used to feel weird wearing them on a plane but with big Beats-style headphones so common now I fit right in.
In the U.S., there is a very high bar to accuse defamation. You not only need to prove the report is false, you also need to prove the reporter knew it was false and had bad intention to cause damage.
Game mode was added for threadripper (workstation cpu) which has multiple dies - many games were hit heavily by numa.

It's also available for desktop parts to disable one ccx when game doesn't use more than 8 threads and you want to squize a couple more % of perf.

Game mode is disabled by default, requires AMD software to be installed to enable - they went extra mile to gimp competition..
I wonder if Cloudflare has plans to compete in this space. If they added it to the $20/month plan, it might push more conversion from the free plan.
When I was finishing up grad school in 2013, I talked to a few econ grad students about what tools they were using for statistics and computing. It sounded like the people just starting out were generally familiar with and in favor of R, but among the older students it wasn't quite as popular. I don't remember anyone mentioning Python at the time.
I've tried many and I must agree with the OP - Bose headphones are terrible in terms of build quality and materials, bad in terms of sound quality, average when it comes to noise cancelation, poor in terms of features and absolutely bad at this price tag. I've settled for Sennheiser's Momementum and can't recommend them more - made of metal and leather, build to last, superb sound quality, very good noise cancelation and nice features and amazing support. I'm really surprised they're not discovered by people spending such amount of money on headphones.
> I guess having names that are immediately understandable to any fresh reader with zero domain knowledge is a noble goal, but it's a high bar.

I'd argue that it is often detrimental to the readability for those with domain knowledge, and if the code (as often is) requires the domain knowledge it can be a disservice.

Consistency is key, if you are consistent these shortened function names can be disturbingly pleasant.

Long names are sometimes a consequence of the programmer not taking the necessary time to think about it (also, consistency is still paramount).
I own similar ear protection that I wear to sleep on the bus, plane, and if I'm going to bed early while my neighbors are being loud. Mine are completely black, and almost look like big headphones with earbud wires coming out of the bottom.
If you want evidence, you should ask BBG for it first, who has provided none at the moment, even the picture they used is likely for illustration only, and they didn't make any declaration about that.

Technically possible doesn't mean it happened. You could be punched by your wife, does that mean she did punch you? Sorry for the inappropriate analogy, but you get the idea.
I think it might be helpful to find some way to clarify what kind of knowledge is expected so that people's results are a little more comparable.
No that would make 0 sense. The NSA doesn't "attack" american companies with covert implants.

> A lot of these complaints are just, well, it’s called Progress. If we designed the C in 2018 and made it so we actually wanted to use it, then it would look very different. Probably a lot like Nim or Swift. I think that’s still a niche that is currently unfilled; a modern, powerful language that doesn’t try to provide the same guarantees as Rust and so can be much more minimalist.

I think zig is quite a good candidate to fill that niche.
It is very compatible with C, but it offers meaningful improvements while still being very picky about what goes into the language.
Those are what I use too
Isn't that the question, though. I don't think anyone is accusing them of publishing information that they know to be false. It seems more likely that their sources are just not as good as believed and possibly have reinforced the details and information through an echo chamber. If these sources are within the same subsection of the industry and regularly exchange information, it may just be that they've been regurgitating information between themselves that somehow coalesced into a "real" story.
>but I have yet to see someone buy PoE switches for a datacenter

It was a small datacenter but we had a bunch for PoE KVMs.
Very good summary. I would only add that it pays to mention that thread/fiber stacks typically only reserve 1-2MB of VM, and only a small amount is committed initially (1 to 2 pages). With 32-bit address spaces, this is a minor distinction because the size of the address space is what matters the most, but with 64-bit address spaces, it can mean that you can aren't putting as much pressure on the VMM as one might think. If all of the threads in a process only use the default two pages, and the system page size is 4K, then 10,000 threads are only going to result in a commit size of 81MB of VM for the stacks. Of course, that's a lot of "ifs", and it completely ignores the effects of that many threads on the per-process VM mappings/CPU caches.

No, probably not strange.

There's a lot of variation in personality and life circumstance. When I was younger Facebook made me feel really shitty about myself. Now it doesn't. That's probably mostly because I am more established now (and, thus, more confident about my position in life) and have more perspective on life.
