What about Soviet meddling in their domestic politics, was that interference or was that welcome internationalism from fellow Marxists, or should we ask old hands from the KMT?
She was a professor at my university and taught a half course every other semester. Every student I knew who took her class held a negative opinion of her afterwards. They would often describe her as arrogant, self-centered, and lacking any interest in actually teaching. She was often described as the worst professor they had by a mile.

I went to one of her speeches and she was by far the best orator I've ever seen. She could captivate a crowd before the second word had escaped her mouth. I'm convinced she was able to command her own reality distortion field.

Then how do you support it? What happens when you need to upgrade or fix a bug?
It's nice to hear that you'll support different needs but be careful as this could cause unnecessary complexities and take you away from developing the core product and improvements. Makes me cringe thinking about supporting different versions of the same product.

I'd suggest stick to the cloud offering and get compliant with gdpr and soc etc
Most of these alternatives are not installed on windows server for security/maintenance overhead reasons by IT administrators and developers are forced to live with slow and cumbersome RDP(not to mention zero capability for scripting) for accessing machines.

Now that Microsoft has finally realized the importance of remote shell access for servers and has included it in OS by default, it will become convenient alternative to RDP.

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. 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.

> huge stock hit

Nowhere near huge enough, and it rebounded once it was clear there were basically no consequences.

> has to earn back its reputation

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

> Show the criminal activity...

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.

> Show the damages...

Precisely my point: 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.

> it won't be over the Equifax breach

(sigh) you're probably right.

OpenSSL already has integration for Linux's similar kTLS support (bulk transmit encryption only; all other alerts, renegotiation etc punted back to userspace). If you wrote it to provide the same API then the OpenSSL support side would be easy.

I don't think the author understands what "fundamental analysis" is.

If you really wanted to do a fundamental analysis you could, for example, calculate the size of the services built on top of the Etherium blockchain, calculate the amount of gas required to execute those instructions, look at the total supply of Ether and thereby calculate some kind of intrinsic value.

I have not done this, but I'm pretty sure the results would not make crypto-bulls very happy.

Sadly, this article is the same kind of speculative storytelling that infects most of what is written about the blockchain. I like the idea of applying DCF, but using previous S&P returns as a proxy for ETH usage growth is nonsensical.

The math in this article suffers from GIGO.

Edit:

I found a much better attempt at analyzing fundamentals. I would quibble with the author's choice of fundamental -- I think more fundamental metrics are available, but his choices make sense and its an interesting read.

KDE has too many options. That's the problem, there's too much desire to tweak just one more thing. By then you've blown a week of time. I've personally also had bad luck running KDE.

“China firmly opposes all forms of cyberattack and cracks down on it in accordance with the law”

"In accordance with the law” is the sneaky part that lets them add all kinds of 'Chinese characteristics' to whatever topic is being discussed. Their 'law' is often phrased very broadly and interpreted with lots of freedom and in practice is whatever the CPC wants. This is how they say one thing and do another, always "according to the law".
I just feel like i'm being programmed to be pro regime-change in China. I don't trust Amnesty. Amnesty International co-founder Luis Kutner seems responsible for snitching on Fred Hampton and for his death and US "human rights" organizations seem like they are basically the CIA. Amnesty also published the debunked "Sednaya" report full of lies about Syria. The Xinjiang articles came up all of a sudden, up until just recently i had only ever seen one article about Xinjiang. The new articles seem to suggest Islam is being eradicated or something like that when it's simply not true. Here is another article i've seen that is more pro-china: https://dailytimes.com.pk/238763/how-xi-jinping-tackled-radi... . It's not a lie that Xinjiang did have a "scourge of extremism".
These are all valid problems but don't seem to me to preclude the original underlying premise - open source seems a necessary, if not sufficient condition. While OS might not solve all of our current issues, it seems to me that there cannot be any solution that depends on opaque software delivered by suspect entities with known surveillance agendas.

> deliberate choice of complexity

I also don't see anything in The Complexity Trap that accuses anyone of that. I think that's a misreading.

Rather, I think The Complexity Trap argues that many developers have a poor understanding of what "complexity" means, so they end up increasing it even when they think they are decreasing it. Specifically, I think the point it tries to make is that complexity doesn't equate to verbosity, and simplicity doesn't equate to terseness. That's why it starts by defining complexity in terms of coupling.

Your article seems to agree that DTOs are more decoupled because you refer to it as "cargo cult decoupling", yet you still argue it's more complex. So you aren't using the same definition.

Having said that, I do agree with you that blind "decoupling" is definitely not always the answer, and some things should be coupled. When a change in one thing should always cause a change in the other, purposely coupling those things in code can decrease complexity.

But I wouldn't say coupling your public API to your internal model by generating the former from the latter is one of those cases. It's something that's done for convenience and terseness, at the expense of complexity. (It's more complex because changes that would otherwise be simple refactorings could cause breaking changes for consumers of your public API in ways you would not expect. For example, you won't be able to use automated refactoring tools safely without carefully thinking through the consequences in your head.)

Depending on the project, trading complexity for terseness/less boilerplate might be the right decision. But it should be done consciously.

Nah, it's just management incentives with nothing on liability side for the product countering that. They keep labor costs low. The company still makes piles of money off the product. There's no liability for devices, esp cheap, that fail randomly after such and such period of time. So, no negative outcomes for keeping labor cost down for firmware. So, they keep doing it.

That simple.
Many people in the US criticized that behavior from the NSA. Maybe you didn't notice those stories. It doesn't make all other instances of hacking or spying okay.

But surveillance is one issue (which is valid and we should talk about it). Stealing intellectual property using your intelligence apparatus in a way that benefits your state-sponsored businesses is another. We can talk about that too.

It's far from complete. But posting here hoping it may work as a starting point for you. (I intend to work on it in the coming week).
It makes you wonder if sometimes people make opinionated comments on here just to elicit free lessons in some unfamiliar topic.

I mean, I do that sometimes. Once there was a thread discussing an app, and I wanted to know if the app has a certain feature. Instead of just asking whether it has that feature, I posted a comment saying "the only thing preventing me from switching to [app] is its lack of [feature]", thinking I'm more likely to get a response that way. And indeed right away I got a correction from an angry poster with just the information I was looking for. lmao

My suppliers are facing extreme pricing pressure, and most are raising prices on many commodities. I’ve had more contract performance issues in the last 6 months than in the last decade.

Employment is tough to measure. Acecdotally, my employer is attracting many mid/senior level people who are good who are taking entry/journeyman level gigs. That’s usually a forward indicator of bad times ahead, in my experience.

Another factor is that tariffs are mechanisms that pick winners and losers. Automated steel and aluminum mills may be booming, but in contrast I just donated to a food drive for dairy farmers in my old hometown — many of whom will be bankrupt soon. They have to choose between heating the barn or buying food. Tariffs are also destroying small and midsize farmers in grain and other commodities.

I really hope the Western countries severely curtail China's ability to operate in the West. Ban their companies, ban party officials and employees operating in the West, completely lock them down and out of the rest of the world.

Saying this has "far-reaching implications" sits with me as click bait.
This is a fairly superficial article recapping what I would call "the naive narrative" about the crypto price drops. I.e. it's the information you would get if you asked a random person at a conference why they think the price is dropping: "ICOs are selling and retail investors are running away". Except ICOs haven't sold much [1] and retail investors amount to peanuts in the grand scheme of things. Who bought at $20K and is selling now? Likely almost nobody.

Any real analysis needs to talk about trading volumes, issuance rates and profitability of miners, and market depths. Those are the macro variables that are surely at play for a crash of this magnitude. But most of this information is hard to obtain from reliable sources (i.e. trading volumes on Coinmarketcap are usually assumed to be 97% wash trading bullshit, mining operations are fairly secretive, and large exchanges likely operate some sort of cartel).

So a more accurate answer to "why is crypto dropping" is "someone that has a lot is selling". More specific answers are, to the best of my knowledge, not out there yet.

If you have a better theory I'm intrigued to hear it.

You don't need professional regulation to have accountability. Every day in America, people who negligently cause injury to others are held accountable by the tort system.

If a self-driving car hurts someone, the people who created and operated it can be hauled into court and forced to justify their decisions. Jurors will hear the testimony of experts in the relevant fields and then decide who should bear the burden of the injury.

Microsoft's GUI management tools were really good and generally very discoverable. IMO they were a much better way to manage an OS than cryptically named CLI programs and text files. And most of them worked remotely. And by comparison to modern software they can not even remotely be considered bloated. Every electron application ever made is larger than all of RSAT.

Now of course they suck ass because MS has no idea what it's doing anymore.
This article seems full of points that a lay person might nod along with, yet don't hold up to scrutiny.

> The fact is, if we accept Marriott’s statement that the breach began in 2014, the system would already have been operating securely for five years.

It does not mean that. It means that we don't know of any exploited vulnerabilities before that point.

> If the detection tool was used prior to this September, why hadn’t the breach been detected earlier? And if the tool was not used earlier, how can they be so sure the breach occurred in 2014?

It isn't unthinkable that the new tool alerted them to a problem, and during investigation discovered evidence that the vulnerability had been abused in the past.

> It is almost impossible to imagine a scenario in which an external hacker is able to gain access to the primary encryption keys.

Why? The argument seems to be: the primary encryption key is important, and thus will be most carefully guarded, so it is unthinkable that it would actually be exposed.

Ultimately the article strikes me as an article written by someone who has a beef with Marriott, and he ends noting that it's possible that the breach occurred not due to issues with design, but due to the layoffs of Starwood's technical staff.
Can we please have one BEAM thread where this isnt brought up? Its such a minor thing. I went from erlang to elixir and whilst at first I really missed atoms that start with a colon, you get used to it. Its 90% the same ideas, and Elixirs pipe operator is worth any small syntax niceties erlang has. No language is completely without its quirks even erlang (unless you LIKE endless repituons of the same variable into var_1, var_2, etc - and no, this doesnt reduce bugs http://blog.plataformatec.com.br/2016/01/comparing-elixir-an... )
The topic of leadership seems to come up frequently in these circles and I think it's great and important.

It does strike me as odd though that there is almost no recognition or reference to the vast world of case study and literature about leadership, and technical leadership to boot.

For example, Siebel talks about "Level 2" thinking as well as self awareness as important attributes to being a good leader. These attributes can be found discussed in great detail with well worn concepts like "Servant Leadership"[1] and "Referent Power"[2].

Further, actively seeking high consequence/stress situations like Siebel discusses is a well understood way of learning leadership.

So my question is, if it is important for tech CEOs or other tech people to understand and embody these leadership principles, why not seek out the huge amounts of training and learning on this - and to that end seeking out people who have gone through a lot of it, rather than trying to start from first principles?

Let me be clear too, I'm not suggesting you can learn this stuff from a book. Far from it. What I am saying is that there are a lot of great people out there with tested leadership experience, that are overlooked by the tech world because it does not specifically select for it.

Older ship designs had a flying bridge, where one or more lookouts would be posted. Open to the air, with very little equipment to distract or lights to blind.

These newer ships, esp the stealth ships seem to have dispensed with this feature. Perhaps navies have decided that the advantages of stealth and not having to stand in the cold damp all night are worth the cost of an occasional mishap.

I would mostly disagree with this. The USSR did use force around that time. The thing people often do not take into account is that the power structures or societies are not monolithic. There are fractions, groups, competing, or allied. Just like here in the US we have religious right, military industrial groups, banking groups which do compete for power like rats in a can.

Similarly, in the USSR in 80s and 90s, there were different groups. In 1956 and 1968 the hardliners held majority, so no socialism with a human face for you. But 1991, thanks in some large part to Gorbachev, things were different.

Yes, he was a slow moving, verbose demagogue, and I hated him for that. But one has to admire that he held back enormous mass of the Soviet machine build around Communist Party, KGB, and the military, armed with thousand of nuclear weapons. One wrong step and the world might have been different today, with a Geiger counters drumming a happy beat.

I think we ought to give him credit for it. We owe it to him.
