> I'm not asking you whether the House Republicans would call the expired certs negligent, or the security underprioritized. I'm asking you, as the reader of a technical forum.

No, that's not negligent. Nor was security "underprioritized". If you read the reporting on the issue (whether the government report or just reputable news), it show solid processes and procedures, but there were implementation flaws. There is no amount of security that will ever be perfect.

> Do you believe everything the government tells you? Or here, what one party tells you? At the very least, read the minority report linked elsewhere in this thread, and interpolate.

Considering that the report matches all the other reputable reporting on the issue? Yes, I believe it. Equifax is claiming "factual errors", but I'd have to see their response before commenting on that.

> Nowhere near huge enough

That's your opinion, but the market has decided otherwise.

> Equifax could care less what its unwilling inventory thinks of it.

Correct. I was talking about their customers...the businesses that supply and use their data and services.

> Name one victim whose damages are large enough to merit hiring a lawyer to comb all the contracts to identify the line where a bank promised that Equifax promised that the victim's data would be safe, and I'll show you a breach of contract. Hint: it's a different line for each victim.

Once you do that, prove that the information came from the Equifax breach, and not one of the dozens of other breaches, let alone the 4 other large breaches I cited.

> the damages to the public are "massively distributed" and infeasible to pin down, which is why there should be a criminal penalty, like we do for say, ozone-depleting chemicals.

Or their negligible and impossible to detect at any meaningful level.

> (sigh) you're probably right.

It's troubling that you seem to think violence is some sort of solution to any problem, let alone this problem.

I hope this is true, but my cursory reading found several unfair spots that seem at odds with this statement.

DynamoDB works across AZs and will continue to be available even when a data center goes down. That cross-AZ operation has benefits as well as latency costs that are not present in the ScyllaDB setup.

> We hit errors on ~50% of the YCSB threads causing them to die when using ≥50% of write provisioned capacity

That is surprising. It is quite common to use your full provisioned capacity without problems. My guess is that there is something not ideal about the YCSB DynamoDB library or its configuration. I'm not familiar with YCSB: does it give you stack traces that indicate why the threads failed?

> Sadly for DynamoDB, each item weighted 1.1kb – YCSB default schema, thus each write originated in two accesses

This is what made me come write this comment. You specifically knew this was a pessimistic case which could be easily addressed to allow DynamoDB to operate at a lower cost. Is arbitrarily settling for the default 1.1kB item size on an artificial benchmark fair? Good engineering teams use their tools the way that gives them the most benefit. Calling out that you may have to work to ensure your use case doesn't have pessimistic characteristics would clearly be fair, but I'm not convinced that just picking arbitrary benchmark settings is.
No, it isn't the business's fault they can't really operate in Australia anymore because of a legislative change.

But the business can decide how they'd lay off all their employees, and a proper severance (and transition period) and so on would be the reasonable way to do it. There is an unfair (retaliatory) way to do it too, and that's what I was referring to.
I used to buy people xmas gifts, but now I just give cash - it lets them decide how to best utilize that resource to maximize their happiness.

So, I think, if you can volunteer at at shelter or something, they always need that help, but otherwise, just give cash. That they can always use and for you it can also be a tax deduction. Maximize the amount of cash you make in your day-to-day so you can give more if that's your prerogative.

> 100% of Stein voters and 24% of Johnson voters in Florida would've flipped that state.

... assuming that the remaining 76% of Johnson voters abstained.

If 50% of libertarians and 100% of green voters voted Democrat, and the other 50% of libertarians voted Republican, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin would have gone to the Democrats, and nothing else would have changed.

If 30% of libertarians and 100% of green voters voted Democrat, and the other 70% of libertarians voted Republican, New Hampshire would have gone to the Republicans, and nothing else would have changed.

I suspect 30% is closer than 50% in terms of how many libertarians would have voted Republican if there was no libertarian option.

Virgin Galactic would need roughly 10-15 times larger rocket to put human in the lowest orbit. They are not planning to do that and their system is not planned that in mind.

Space is not far. Space is just one hour drive with a car if you drive directly up. Getting to orbit of the same altitude is 10 times harder and that's the business where SpaceX and Blue Origin are.

The curious rotational memory of the electron (2007)
An interesting angle perhaps we could discuss is how much of the persistence of this barbarian culture that tipping is, has to do with the fact that in the US, the expectations that displayed prices are final isn't very strong anymore, to the point that we now forget to identify obvious robberies in plain sight.

Just gotta say, I'm so happy that "suppressed person" will get at least some of the justice he so sorely deserves.

If there's anyone who deserves to suffer for what they've done, it's him.

And that whole Catholic Church should be stripped of its tax free status because it has systematically acted as a criminal organization to protect the perpetrators of the worst crimes imaginable.

The hide they have to act as if they have such high moral standing just makes it even more repugnant, if that was possible.

Hopefully this success emboldens them to come out against their abusers. I wish them peace and strength.

To be blunt. No. This is totally absurd and would be trivial to detect if true. On the legal side, you'd be breaking all sorts of ToS, Security, and Privacy agreements (you'd have to disclose this via a data processor clause). On the technical side, latency would also be so obvious to detect this too. They are totally different hardware/software platforms and would have different characteristics (as proven by this thread). On the business side, no AWS/GCP/Azure CEO will ever do this, staff would totally be aware too. This is 100% bogus.

ring's entire technical team is based in the ukraine because the labor is cheaper and the data moderators that tag the videos for facial recognition and video processing make $3.00 - Ring isn't a sophisticated technology or even a secure product.

Ask HN: how to develop deep and broad knowledge?
I quit my job to do some self study on various topics. I started timing how long different things take me. Textbook, book, excersises etc. some textbooks for example might easily take upwards of 100 hours. Just learning elastic search, playing around with it and reading most of the definitive guide took me like 30 hours. I just can’t see how this can be done along with a 40 hour work week, and now I’m wondering how much other people really know? Having been in a job and seeing my friends at these jobs. I would say less than 1 percent of the people might be putting in an extra 10 hours a week even.and there are so many new developments out there, ai, crypto currencies etc I’m partly resetting my expectations on how much I can learn in my career, what’s the right way to think about this if one is I interested in having broad and deep knowledge.

You could use this to prove that N devices are spread fairly geographically evenly near the line between two devices you know the location of, if the transport latency was fairly constant.

If you cross this line over multiple countries, you now have a system where you can prove that the devices are spread across some number of the different countries, which probably has some useful properties, like making nation-state attacks slightly more difficult.

I don't follow you.

People have been imagining animals have complex inner lives for thousands of years. It's a natural thing for us to do in our want to relate to things.

People disagree with each other, sure, but I think that's fair that people disagree on a contentious topic. There is hardly an answer to whether fish have complex inner worlds yet.

Are you talking about scientific thought about it?

>possess various degrees of cognitive ability

I can't say I agree with this. I agree with you that perhaps people failed to recognise and test for variances within the species. (Im not in this field either so I can't say for sure...) but again, the majority of people would know that different animals of the same type don't have different quirks and differing intelligence. Anyone who has had some pet fish has recognised some as being more shy or more aggressive than the other. Cow farmers know some of their cows are dumber and smarter than the other.

To take that thought and say "well therefore some fish have rich inner lives and others dont" is a bit of a stretch to me. I would suppose that there is a limit to their capacity and variance.

Sure, Chimps, Dolphins, Elephants - very easy to convince people they do and I'd believe it easily.

Convince me that a trout does? I'm not so sure, and would need to be convinced in some way. I can imagine it, but I won't believe something just because of my want to anthropomorphise.

While I can understand that many people are too dismissive of animals as being basic or unfeeling, that doesn't invalidate the idea that animals have a more limited mental capacity for what we perceive to be conciousness, and that includes sense of self at least somewhere along the line of complexity.
