stavros.io is FAST. I'm sure Netlify deserves some credit but much of it belongs to your static approach and the decision not to load the page with 200 JS calls.
It’s just free for most projects. You pay for lambdas and forms, etc.
I guess my question then is why have a computer attached to these systems in the first place, or if you must, why not make it as dumb as possible? Why include more points of failure?

Also, I couldn't help it, the DOD plans to spend 1.66 Trillion on these systems! Perhaps if we instead stop making new fangled, more complicated devices that with have tenfold more vulnerabilities to catch, how about we just stick with the machines we have and make then hardened. I imagine that it would save us loads if we just do that.
This sounds right to me.

In particular the, "Oh shit, Facebook!" moment that resulted in a top-down pushing of Google+ everywhere was a big (and negative) shift in corporate culture.
There is nothing remarkable about finding a vulnerability that had been latent in a codebase for years. It is not clear to me what "ball" you believe has been "dropped" here. If it's that the first N groups of security testers that looked at this code missed the vulnerability that their N+1th found, sorry, no: that happens all the time.
You're conflating two entirely different things. Yelling fire in a crowded theater isn't an issue of speech, that's an act of violence. You're attempting harm upon people. Once you step into the realm of acts of initiating violence, you've crossed out of matters of free speech, they're two different things and must be addressed differently.

If I take out a bullhorn and blast it into someone's ear, harming their eardrum, that's also not a matter of speech, it's an act of violence against that person.

Holding someone down and painting a swastika on their chest is also not a matter of speech, that too is an act of violence, for the exact same conceptual reason as the bullhorn and yelling fire are.

Disgusting speech should be protected. The absolute worst thing you can do, is try to bury that type of speech under laws. The US culture defeated the KKK - which was once large and influential at its peak - precisely because the realm of debate and ideas was firmly held open. Their speech and ideology was not outlawed, their ideas overwhelmingly lost in the public cultural debate. Extremely liberal free speech protections are why the KKK couldn't win then, and haven't managed to resuscitate themselves in the last 30 or 40 years.

yes thank you. Greene was also a very important hire for Google, both company direction and culture wise. I don't know much about her and her influence though, can you elaborate at all?
Google is probably the best company in the world at copying successful products. They copied AWS, Amazon Echo, Evernote, the iPhone, and the list goes on. While maybe this isn't the most sexy strategy, the truth is that it CAN work when you have really amazing engineers. As the ad margins diminish, they will fiercely compete with everyone who seems to be doing something interesting. They are definitely fighting very aggressively on many fronts and are definitely not dying _yet_.

> I was hoping they'd release the next Pixelbook. Really wanted to try that as my next developer laptop.

I bought one last year to try as my dev computer and I'm back to my 2015 mac book. I'm not a fan of the keyboard on it, the battery life isn't as good as I thought it would be, I don't like having a touch screen on my dev machine, but I think the biggest factor in me switching back is that it feels like the remote development services just aren't there yet. I'd get into a coding session and then half way through have some issue with Cloud9 (or a different online IDE, I tried multiple) and it would pull me out of my flow.
Slightly off-topic - but its semi-relevant here as this conversation involves the requirement of knowing (1) the state of the system security store (2) the state of an application's security store ... and maybe in some cases (3) understanding how an application modifies any trusted stores.

It seems we end up with a lot of possibilities for the states of these stores to diverge from our expectations ... I've been wondering how to verify a sane state for all these stores for even a use as simple as my own personally owned/controlled notebook ...

I'd really like a way to audit the system trust store in macOS and enforce that is in alignment with whatever the current 'blessed by apple' certificate trust relationships are and that any trust relationships I ever manually added by mistake/debugging have been removed...

I asked a question about this on stackoverflow but no one has responded ...

I think idea that this blog post is conveying is overrated. People said the same thing about Microsoft under Ballmer. Then he left. Nadella came in and continued many of the things that he did, and their stock price has soared. For Apple the opposite happened - their profits and stock price have soared, yet Tim Cook can't catch a break. Every little error leads to a chorus of "It wouldn't have been like this if Steve was around". Perception isn't everything.
In my humble opinion, Sundar Pichai must go. Ballmer said it best - "I am a pattern"[0]. I think Pichai has been a great manager but he, from the outside, doesn't seem to be a great leader. If he steps down, the new person gets leeway to change some things and get some social capital.

> "We’ve integrated Titan™ Security, the system we built for Google, into our new mobile devices. Titan™ Security protects your most sensitive on-device data by securing your lock screen and strengthening disk encryption."

Anyone have more information about this new security chip in the Pixel 3? Is this any different from secure boot and the security chip from the Pixel 2?
He mentions DEC, but I'd go further and note that Google is making the same mistake Digital did with Alta Vista - namely, returning irrelevant search results because it thinks you really must be searching for Y even though you entered X. This gets especially annoying when one searches for a specific word and gets a page full of results that don't have it.

Getting rid of the +word search syntax in favor of quotation marks was also a bad move - it makes it much more tedious to edit your query when you're trying to tell Google "Hey, I'm really searching for that word."

I work with FPGAs commercially. Using non- supported tools isn't an option.

If you're building anything 'real', you're not going to try to save a few thousand dollars and risk the program, you just cost it in.

Yeah, I know, Synplify costs way more than that, it isn't exactly standard anymore (Xilinx' tools got good enough).

It's really not that expensive, considering the FPGA is usually critical system architecture.

I don't see Nvidia as the 'villain' in that story either - they designed the graphics chips, they designed Cuda. Nobody is forcing anyone to use either. They don't support the language you like? Use somebody else's chips. They can't support every language - I'm not upset they don't directly support Object Pascal.

I am interested in knowing more about this. Could you expand on why you don’t think any of those books are theory? If it isn’t too much to ask can you mention why each one of the books recommended for the different areas aren’t “theory”?

> expose, alter, disable, destroy, steal or gain unauthorized access to or make unauthorized use of an asset

This is the objective of the adversary in a conflict with respect to information and systems security. It doesn't matter if they can control a system, if they can make it less reliable it's still a win (but not as good). If they can get it to feed out false or misleading information to their opponent, it's a win (hacked a radar, can you show an extra blip on the screen or cause them to sometimes shift position and reduce the confidence of the operator?).
Why would the the NSA ICS threat discovery lead at the time be able to confirm one way or another? It seems like either way would be a "no comment" sort of situation.
My first thought when reading this was it seemed almost over-engineered compared to just using Tika+Tesseract.

I'm not sure what benefit they are getting from using machine learning for this other than "decide whether to try and process this file or not".

Tika + Tesseract seems to be able to do the heavy lifting they spent a lot of time talking about in that article.
Note that this also depends on field. For example, public health tends to have a much higher proportion of it's graduates be able to stay in the field. At the same time, physics (and applied math) is remarkable for just how mobile their graduates are, thanks to considerable overlap between the skills needed for modern physics research and several industries.

In contrast, biology PhD students, for example, don't have nearly as obvious an industry-based pathway.

Also, having taken Option A, it's not quite as clear as you lay it out to be.
Yes, both local and chain pizza places. From what I can tell, they do source cheapest ingredients available... which is also what every individual I know does, mostly from the same sources. And they do not seem to add any extra salt & sugar beyond what I'd expect in a homemade meal of similar quality.

I realize now that using the phrase "commercial-grade" might have implied I mean stuff like frozen pizzas in grocery stores. I did not mean that, though there are some brands of frozen pizza that taste quite good when passed through oven.

I think highlighting the good performance is worth mentioning on your project's page (maybe with some stats).

> Obviously, it's a different place in the design place. Hosting & deployment is much easier of course. Though workflow for adding new bookmarks seems more manual e.g. can you add new marks while on your mobile phone, quickly?

This is exactly the reason why I did not write an easier way to add the bookmarks other than editing a text file. Because I don't want to end up having 67.000 bookmarks. I have an "inbox" folder in my browser where I put all the stuff I think is interesting. I later review them and either 1.) turn them into an actionable task in my todo manager 2.) delete them after finding out it's really not that interesting (most of them) or 3.) put it in my bookmarks file if I think this is something worth archiving. The last one does not happen very often, though.

As you said, this is a much different use case than yours. I get how most people go your route, but it does not work for me. It encourages my fear of missing out: "oh, this is an article about XXX. let's archive it for later". But if I ever decide I want to learn about XXX, the article might be outdated and I might as well just search for a new up-to-date source (especially being a frontend developer, where yesterday's info is already outdated). However, I can see how such a system really shines when doing research.
No, typically, a reference cycle is fine. It results in valid memory that never gets read again, which is unfortunate but not dangerous, whereas double-frees can result in memory corruption. http://huonw.github.io/blog/2016/04/memory-leaks-are-memory-...

Fermi's paradox roughly goes like this:

Even if technological life is very uncommon, even if civilizations which colonizes the galaxy are uncommon among technological civilizations, even if galactic colonization is extremely slow and limited, on astronomical timescales it would still be trivial to colonize essentially every star in our own galaxy. From this we can conclude that there have been no colonizing civilizations in existence in the Milky Way at least prior to a few hundred million years ago because otherwise they would be everywhere including here (Earth, our Solar System). So either long-lived colonizing technological civilizations are vastly uncommon to an incredible degree (due to some internal or external factor limiting their longevity, perhaps), technological civilizations are far more alien than we could imagine, or humans happen to be one of the earliest technological civilizations in the Milky Way.

Nothing in Fermi's paradox requires technology or physics that doesn't exist yet, it primarily relies on time. A million years is a long time for a technologically advanced species, ten million, 100 million, or a billion years is an unimaginable eternity. Even at slow travel times and very "half-assed" levels of colonization (taking thousands of years between founding a colony and sending out only a handful of new colony ships) the sheer amount of time in play allows for quite thorough colonization of the entire Milky Way.
If the bugs were annoying enough that they'd prevent proper functioning of the system, they'd be fixed. If the current users are able to get some utility out of the system with all the bugs, then you can be rest assured so will the hackers.
Now you make me wonder - maybe we're not the only ones, but people only talk about noise because the core issue is taboo...
I thought not all the blocks of the FPGA were available yet - block rams were just recently added, but I think some of their clocking tiles are not fully operational.

Could be outdated info though, if someone knows can you provide a link?
So since it's hard to get the rubber stamp you just do include encryption, that seems worse.
I'm day dreaming about 'aktivhaus' (sp?) style residential in the desert.

What would that look like?

My starting notion is a three level structure. Bottom is carport, patio, storage. Middle would be kitchen, baths, common areas, study. Upper would be bedroom(s). Maybe a roof top deck.

South wall would have horizontal solar louvres. Kinda like the Burr library in downtown Phoenix.

Roof top solar something. But I'd still want to be able to look up at the stars.

Grey water system of some sort. So the ground level would have a cistern of some sort.

Is wood a viable option for the desert? I know zilch about thermal loads, insulation, etc. If so, how much wood?
Why? That's just consumerist thinking. With iOS 12, my 3 and a half year old phone works even better than when I bought it. Why create useless waste?
I was a little unclear but that is of course what I meant: talking about the underlying shared data because the pointers themselves don't have particularly interesting destruction behaviour. (Although the sibling is also correct that not all Rc/Arc/shared_ptr handles to the shared data with have their Drop called.)

Well they still have to attach to the edge of the display. Probably there is a lot of stuff going on at the top of a phone (cameras etc) already. I expect it would also be harder to attach the display connector along a notch cutout.
Confusingly I think this means that you can only use wireless headphones with the 'provided entertainment' when the flight has Wifi because that's how they get their entertainment to your device. If the flight doesn't have wifi you have to use the in seat entertainment system and therefore can't use wireless headphones (because the entertainment system doesn't support them) not because you're not allowed to have them enabled.
This is insane - for all the folks out there saying that Apple and Amazon’s recent statements have been vague, here’s your first lesson in Dodging 101:

> When pressed to give specific details, Enright refused, saying that he was “not clear on the contours of what is in scope or out of scope for that project.”

Bravo - you’ve managed to make the parodies of Valley-speak look tame!
> the PENROSE pipeline is designed to be end-to-end differentiable
So what? The reason Google and Apple and Amazon and any other business is also due to a lot of that stuff as well.
I had a hard time finding a customizable UniFi external guest portal, other than ones written in PHP.

This is a Go and Docker solution that fits my home needs - feel free to review, comment, etc.

Actually, primal tribes had overally better women rights than centralised populations with different "-cracies" which sprang from the discovery of farming in the darkness of Neolithic.
It reminds me of the security guard paradox - companies that hire security guards rarely see break-in attempts, so they might be led to believe that the security guard isn't doing anything. But if they get rid of the security guard, they'll suddenly see break-ins - the security guard was discouraging would-be attackers. In the same way, it's probable that with the checks and balances in place to limit the damage that false accusations might do, one might look at the rarity of false accusations and say, "hey, this is practically never happening, we can loosen the restrictions here a bit" only to see it suddenly used as a weapon because it's now suddenly effective.

> The particular bug in question doesn't actually provide an exploit, it just sets the current UID to 0.

It's not a bug if it was added intentionally. The ability to become root is the master exploit in this case (a so called backdoor), getting the user level access by the means of some other exploit is kids play compared with taking over the whole machine.

There are a bunch of known small bugs that are potential vulnerabilities in Linux, but it also what makes it so ubiquitous and practical system that can run on the majority of the Worlds servers. Unless you want Linux to become OpenBSD, that is...

Here's a quote[0] from over 10 years ago:

> Security people are often the black-and-white kind of people that I can't
stand. I think the OpenBSD crowd is a bunch of masturbating monkeys, in
that they make such a big deal about concentrating on security to the
point where they pretty much admit that nothing else matters to them.

There is heavy lock-in with Apple, moreso than any other company I can think of. But for sure it is a fashion brand.

But in order to be fashionable, they need to have compelling designs and technology. They do not anymore.

Their main new product seems to be those stupid AirPods, and I don't think you can carry a trillion dollar company on that. Everything else is just a minor tweak on an existing product.
I think it's a balancing act... for the most part the differences in sound will come down to preference. There are also variances in price, comfort, etc. I think the Bose QCs strike a really good balance. I find them to physically be the most comfortable for around-ear headphones on my head. They don't weigh too much, they don't squeeze my head like a vice...

It just depends.
Typing without autocorrect, one of the more common mistakes I make is clipping the spacebar instead of c/v/b/n.

Come to think of it, I don't think autocorrect would catch this anyway.
Well they could start by planting trees.
Well, yes, but I'm using "targeted" in the context of "personally targeted".

Group targeting is less of a problem because then they are working on averages and predominant group characteristics, which does not mean any one individual does correspond to those.

For example, a billboard may target an area with a message mainly meant for LGBT people, or for Hispanic people, but living or frequenting that area foes not mean you are LGBT or Hispanic respectively. There is still a level of anonymity there that protects privacy.

I've updated my original comment to make this more clear, so thanks for calling out the ambiguity.

I'm not necessarily advocating for socialism, I'm just suggesting that the USA government spends more on incentivizing technological innovation in areas that have real payouts for humanity. It's almost a tautology that if you started offering government jobs at $100k a year and funding to work on interesting, novel problems, you'd attract a whole lot of people who are bored and disenfranchised with adtech or high finance.
