> And you think running that type of JS on the page is more secure than a simple redirect?

It's not more secure, but it's not less secure and it doesn't break the web. It also shouldn't add an appreciable amount of complexity, given that most of the heavy lifting to sanitize, parse, and format UGC content already happens on the server. E.g. if you're already turning UGC snippets into an AST on the server so that you can cleanly syndicate them in different formats, having the AST generate some js around URLs isn't a big lift.
The story about Abacus was interesting. I didn't realize they were the only actual bank to be prosecuted. That said, a handful of employees at other small banks around the country were prosecuted - I personally know a low-level mortgage broker who went to prison for fraud related to the 2008 crisis. They were falsifying mortgage applications for unqualified customers.

The enforcement still wasn't enough in my opinion, but (and I'm struggling to find a source backing me up) I believe there were several hundred of these cases. None, however, from the big banks that arguably should take more of the blame.

They had geometry, you can figure out fairly accurately (within tens to thousands of miles) how large and how far away the moon is based on parallax and the kind of math that Eratosthenes used to calculate the circumference of the earth 400 years earlier.

The only celestial bodies that you can't do that with are the ones that are point sources to the naked eye, like the planets. Those take lenses and telescopes.
Models (not just in climate science, also in most other fields of science...and engineering and business) generally include tunable parameters. When you have some unaccounted for factor that is not changing much over the time frame you are modeling, so that the unaccounted for factor has a fairly consistent affect, you can tune those parameters to in effect build the unaccounted for thing into the model.

If the unaccounted for factor starts changing significantly over the time frame you are modelling, this will not work well and then you have to understand that factor and build it in.

From the article, the impression I get is that we are now learning the trees and other plants affect climate more than we might have thought, but I don't see anything suggesting that the amount of the affect is changing much and so it would likely be the kind of thing that gets accounted for in the tunable parameters of the climate models.

> The only reason to not use it, is because some of those Apps are built with third party multi-platform frameworks and not UIKit (React)

Anecdote: I’ve worked on a few large iOS teams at well-known companies. At all of them, we have moved toward building UI in code and specifically banning the use of XIBs and Storyboards (we still use all of Apple’s frameworks — e.g. UIKit). Part of the reason is merge conflicts — in much the same way that merging Xcode project files requires every engineer to understand and be able to parse the syntax when looking at a diff, merging changes in XIBs and Storyboards is fraught with danger (at best).

Before I try, just always have a question - is it lisp-1 or lisp-2? Is it scheme/lisp?

Given the lisp15.scm is a scm it seems to be underlying is a lisp 1.5 running under scheme. But given it is doing make, is it just share code?

Too many of this but really want to have a code for simple C based lisp to play with. Is that it?

Not sure where GP got his/her numbers, but the $3 to $1 ratio is way off. Maybe it was describing the marginal rate for additional collection of unpaid taxes? US federal income and payroll tax receipts for 2018 was approx $3,000 billion, while the IRS budget for 2018 was only $11.7 billion, a ratio of approx 256 to 1.

It makes sense that the rate at the margin would be much higher than the overall rate, you've already collected all the low-lying fruit, now you're going after the scofflaws trying to avoid paying anything.

I always pictured there would be some "assertive" state actor involved to create a true Visa/MC/etc-killer. You could say something like "our central bank offers a basic push and pull payment API, and there's an account created for every citizen/resident. It's going to be used to disburse social security and accept tax payments, so everyone's going to have to learn to work with it." Maybe add some sort of plastic-card based infrastructure for convenient transactions without smartphones or PCs. Adding credit-based products on top of that feels like a fairly trivial endeavour.

This would seemingly be a feasible sell to many governments with the right spin (reduction in processing costs for their own payments, fraud control, data gathering, reducing reliance on foreign-controlled payment services, adding another means of capital control) It also seems reasonable within the same sort of "government needs to provide the basic infrastructure for a modern financial system" scope that allows for government "lenders of last resort", bank insurance, and clearing houses for cheques.

Then the question for Visa/MC/etc becomes "what can you offer these consumers and retailers that the local service doesn't except higher fees?" aside from the corner case of "you can use it abroad more easily".
Would depend on my budget (because it would certainly cost more than hovering up all training data for free).

Perhaps: Pay/reward for data sharing, decentralized training, differential privacy, local training and submitting the weights, local fine-tuning of pre-trained model, marketplace of third-party (open source) models, ...
> Well that again isn't an example of someone being caught and receiving a penalty lower than the gain from the crime.

I disagree... and frankly, just saying it isn't is a poor answer.

> Maybe there wasn't sufficient evidence to win?

Once again, your ignorance shows. The Justice Department expressed concern it would threaten the health of the financial system if they were too hard on HSBC at the time so they gave a low fee and ignored another crime.

> But this isn't an example of a caught party with a "so low that they don't matter" penalty.

I didn't say it was. I was answering your above question about a party that was 'caught' and faced a lower... NO penalty, in this case.

Banks are require to abide by a charter that requires good behavior. For evidence of criminal conduct that charter can be revoked and HSBC should have lost their right to operate in the United States. I would certainly call that a fee so low they don't matter penalty.

Especially since HSBC is now being accused of money laundering again... this time by Nigeria.

All you are giving is negative arguments. Saying things are not, and raising speculation without a basis does not add to the discussion. I am done with this.

>> I think that's a factor when they came out. If they came out 2 months ago, I don't think he'd have gotten as far as he did.

IIRC, the allegations only came out publicly after the confirmation hearings were over. Sen. Feinstein knew about them earlier, but kept them private, so that doesn't really count.

So I think the GP's point stands. If the allegations had came out before he'd been nominated, he'd have never been selected and someone else would have been confirmed.

Much maligned Robert Moses, of urban blight fame, was a proponent and fan of "parkways" around the post war period. So much so he built 450 miles of parkways in NYC surrounds. Nowadays people blast him for razing neighborhoods to build roads, bridges, parks, schools and other infrastructure the city needed. It surely could have been done better --but it was also necessary to build, given the growth.

That's so bizarre, though having dealt with corporate and governmental bureaucracy not too surprising. I wonder if you could go another route and see if you can post something controversial enough for them to close your account but not illegal, so you don't get in real trouble. Sometimes the best way to fight an bureaucracy is using its own irrationality against itself.

I don't think that's quite right. How does signing up for Zendesk using feedback@slack.com give him access to the target company's Zendesk instance? He can't read emails sent to feedback@slack.com. The auto-add-to-organization logic in these systems goes by domain so he needs to sign up for Zendesk using a @target-company.com email address, so that he'll be granted access.

He clearly describes how he got access to their Slack instance, which required finding a way to receive an email at a @target-company.com email address. He did this by signing up for the target company's service using feedback@slack.com, in order to trick the company's support desk software into making the email from feedback@slack.com visible to him in the customer-facing support portal. The target company's helpdesk software thought the email confirming ownership of support@target-company.com was from the new user who just signed up with feedback@slack.com, so it made it visible to him in the user-facing support portal as a ticket he had opened. That let him access their Slack instance.

The question was: how was he able to read tickets created when an email was sent to support@target-company.com, such as a password reset email from Twitter. Just joining the company's Slack instance wouldn't let him read emails sent to support@target-company.com. And he says he was able to do that by getting access to their Zendesk instance.

Presumably he used the same process, but substituting ZenDesk for Slack. Or else he used a different method that he doesn't describe.

Hmm.. I've tried luaJit module and I've given up half way when building as it seemed a lot of compatibility issue(maybe not professional enough to build), sincerely I don't know lua and I prefer go for c module over any other language mixed together since nginx is build from C

For nginx-c-function, it's easy build and I can build this as dynamic module and use it with other servers which has same version of nginx.

It might be good to use lua if the person not good in c/c++.

There's a profound wisdom to knowing the niche you're in, and Zig does seem to have that. The applications part of the stack is saturated with options, all trying to encroach on each other, but when it comes to the genuinely low-level, unsexy stuff...the viable options are all pretty old languages, and languages that patch over those old languages.

And with respect to discussion of boilerplate, you can, of course, always have a "Zig++" language that patches over Zig. By cutting out its own metaprogramming functionality, it's much more straightforward to generate useful Zig source. There are a lot of advantages to restraint in the design, and Go does share that, too.

In all likelihood, that generation will simply raise taxes to the point where they can pay for the benefits. The odds that old people are going to be like, "Welp, I guess we have to just die now," are basically zero.

Fraud in the form of the outcome of a specific election being different than the actual votes counted: well, probably not super widespread or rampant but not exactly non-existent.

Disenfranchisement, gerrymandering, polling place reductions, unequal representation, etc. are, however, quite rampant. Not all votes are equal in the US, and not all voters are treated as equal either. The result is the same (subversion of democracy), but the tactics are different.
Social Security will never "run out", due to the nature of it. The taxes from people currently working are what directly pays those who are currently retired and drawing on it.

Now what could happen is one of two things. Either the benefits get cut to match the tax revenue at that time (estimates I've seen is that SS can drop to about 70% of what it is now), or that payroll taxes will increase, and the cap raised or eliminated.
