I doubt that the kind of premeditated theft you're describing accounts for a large % of the losses.

Also, if a package with a dye pack were delivered to me, I'd be extremely pissed off. (Which I suspect is almost guaranteed to happen, if not by accident then by a thief that detects the trap and just ditches it at the next doorstep.)
The anti-corporate attitude is a natural consequence of the pervasive culture of CEO hero-worship among a great deal of HN commenters. It's counterculture.
I would recommend Panorama Tab Groups over Panorama View fyi just because panorama view doesn't see a lot of maintenance in recent months. They're still there, but in hibernation so they don't get new features right now.

full disclosure: I'm the maintainer for Panorama Tab Groups right now so I am slightly biased. I do think photodiode and the guys in charge of Panorama View are way better than I am at this, but since they're not active right now, I've created a fork so I can have a more up to date add-on
How is this “unfettered?” FDA does quite a bit of “fettering.” That the regulation failed isn’t a failure of free markets, if anything, it’s a failure of regulation. If you are going to regulate and the regulations didn’t work, yet the companies complied with said regulation, do you blame the company or the government?

Plenty of nasty products from the Soviet planned economy only there, you wouldn’t have the benefit of competitors or alternatives for the public — assuming you could even good goods at all. People that complain about capitalism have never lived under the alternative.
What's similarly baffling to me is the constant jeremiad of hate against nuclear.

Personally I'm a fan of any carbon-free power source. In particular solar and nuclear seem like they'd go together quite well: nuclear baseload, solar for extra daytime demand, and enough storage to handle the remaining discrepancy with the demand curve. (A couple years ago MIT had a grid simulation that let people try out different combinations to see the overall cost, and that was the cheapest I came up with.)
"I doubt any PhD student would consider that as a potential drawback when choosing an institution."

Absolutely. I would be rather unimpressed if someone studying to that level was unable to find alternative routes to the "source". It should be at worse a bit of a pain and at best helping to fix a sodding great travesty that has afflicted publication for decades.
Arguably, had the Romans not invaded and expanded, much of the Mediterranean and the rest of Europe would have remained 'barbarian' for quite a while. They arguably brought civilization with them into the far-reaches of Europe (obviously at a great toll to the local populations)..
With the swapping, this sounds more similar to Bananagrams! I also like that it places less emphasis on memorizing words that are helpful in scrabble but not real life.
If our goal is basic research, sure, fusion is great.

But if our goal is to achieve carbon neutrality ASAP, we can't count on fusion to help because we don't know when it will start working. On the other hand, renewables + battery leveling are here today and ready for intensive investment.

Yes, let's do both. But I don't believe fusion research will provide a short-term alternative to CO2-emitting power sources. I think it's fine with to spend 1000x on conventional renewables compared to fusion. We can employ an absolute army of technicians and factory workers today to build out renewable generation infrastructure, while fusion gets a steady research budget for post-docs, career physicists, materials engineers, etc.

Red Hat does not own anything that's valuable aside from their developers, who chose to work at Red Hat due to their pro-FOSS positioning. If IBM chose to start shutting projects like Fedora down or move in the direction of closed-source, these developers would have no desire to remain, and would leave, making that $40B acquisition worthless.
Part for that is because web advertising in general sucks. You have fraudulent clicks all over the place, banner blindness, adblockers and whatnot etc. So brands are looking for new venues to reach consumers and influencers/celebrities are a good match. Probably this will also die down soon than later but until then the smart ones will make a good buck.

Nice choices! IMO the best Christmas songs have a mix of joy and something.. else. Something a little eerie. Not quite foreboding, exactly, but definitely a bit tense.

From a certain perspective, maybe this is theologically correct to have a mix of "Yay Jesus is coming!" and also at the same time "Oh shit, he's coming here?!?"

For those from other faith traditions, imagine you hear that your CEO is finally going to visit your little under-appreciated department. "Yay!" you think.

Seems to me the obvious solution is to build wind/solar as fast as we can, while also building nuclear because by the time wind/solar reaches enough market penetration where variability is a problem, the nuclear will be ready.

We should also spend a lot of money working on storage solutions, but with the planet at stake it doesn't seem smart to put all our eggs in that basket.
Sure, I would agree if we weren't facing the threat of multiple degrees of warming causing climate changes that will threaten to upend the social order and melt the permafrost within our lifetimes.

If we had room to speculate on the wide variety of disasters that may befall the Earth within the next, say, 200 years, then perhaps hiding underground isn't the optimal best solution.

You can read about how it works in Singapore at the Wikipedia article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caning_in_Singapore

The description of scarring and motion difficulties for up to a month afterwards are more severe than I'd expected. The lashes are not delivered in public.

There are some ways in which Singapore is "the western world", by language/culture/legal-system, though not geography. As the article notes, their practice of caning was inherited from the British.

I share some of the visceral discomfort with the idea, but also know lots of things we allow because they work, or are within someone else's preferences, also cause many people visceral discomfort: organ (or fecal!) transplants; non-majority sexual practices; legalization of drugs or prostitution (some western world jurisdictions). Disgust is often a hint, but not reliably dispositive, about what should be allowable.

We also allow solitary confinement and the death penalty, despite evidence these have weak deterrent effects, sometimes causing grave psychological damage or the death of innocents. What if we studied the matter, and found evidence that corporal punishment of adults better deterred crime, with less follow-own damage, than these traditional practices. We should probably then ban those familiar barbarisms, but still consider as possible the far milder action – lashes – that seems like a barbarism from unfamiliarity and gut reactions.

GitHub deplatforms Code of Merit Author Roberto Rosario
Rosario's account had been in a sort of limited state for years which didn't allow people to follow him on GitHub. According to sources close to GitHub, the platform had enough but had to wait until the Linux Kernel adoption of a code of conduct story died down to take down the Code of Merit repository. Terms of service violations were cited as the reason to take down the repositories and the account. In addition to the Code of Merit the repositories and organizations for Awesome Django and Mayan EDMS were taken down too. In total these three projects alone had more than 11,000 stars and 3,000 forks. Awesome Django and Mayan EDMS are two of the most influential and well known Django projects and second in popularity to Django itself. GitHub censorship is affecting thousands of developers that rely on Awesome Django for their work.

Only a copy of Awesome Django survives in the service named GitLab. As can be seen this is the 5th most popular repository in the entire site, and ranks higher than even some of GitLab's own products: https://gitlab.com/explore/projects/starred

GitHub joins the Python Software Foundation, the Django Software Foundation and the International Games Developer Association in their effort to silence Rosario and his movement against code of conducts in free open source projects. All three organizations had already removed or force Rosario to resign from positions in their organizations and have blacklisted him from their events.

Rosario's last appearance at a Django/Python event was in 2016 for the talk about his free open source heart monitoring system using Arduino and Django. At the beginning of the talk he confirms that talk will be his last public appearance at a Django/Python event, either as speaker or audience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rubzEAojf-k

> it's not actually true that they're less dependent on the state than "city folk." Hell, in many cases rural areas are more dependent on the state.

I'd like to see you back up this claim, but either way dependence on "the state" isn't really what matters.

What matters is the interdependence between the two locales. Cities are almost entirely dependent on rural areas for their food. Rural areas could continue to exist without cities; the reverse is not true.

Cities are also more fragile than rural areas. Say something catastrophic were to happen to some region of the US, something that wiped out communications infrastructure, electricity generation, supply routes (roads, rail), etc. The cities in this region would be foodless within a few days. Depending on the city, there would be either no running water or dirty running water. Even if martial law were quickly instituted, violence and starvation would result.

Contrast this to the rural areas. Food would certainly be an issue, but it is more likely that the population is either (a) near agricultural infrastructure or (b) prepared to fish/hunt/forage. It helps that there are less mouths to feed.

Furthermore, most people are on wells and/or septic tanks, which barring damage gives them a much longer timeline before water/sanitation becomes an issue. Again, it helps that there is a lower density of people needing drinking water and sanitation.

I guess my ultimate point is that strategically, it is the rural areas holding the cards. Would they be poorer without the cities? Absolutely. Could they survive? They did for generations.
It is very likely that this bug only affects systems which accept and run arbitrary SQLite3 queries. This includes Chromium, because Chromium ships with WebSQL. The Google Home is probably vulnerable because it can be coerced to load a webpage. I doubt that this bug affects systems that merely use SQLite as a database without providing external query access.

My best guess for the bug is that arbitrary SQLite queries, prior to 3.26.0, were permitted to write to the shadow tables used by various plugins to implement features. fts3/4, prior to 3.25.3, appear to contain an integer overflow bug which can be triggered by manually modifying the fts index data. A careful application of this integer overflow appears to make it possible to truncate a writable buffer, leading to a nice heap overflow condition that can be exploited by further crafted SQL queries.

The primary integer overflow bug was fixed in https://sqlite.org/src/info/940f2adc8541a838 "Add extra defenses against strategically corrupt databases to fts3/4.", committed as part of the 3.25.3 update (which is what Chromium updated to). Later, in 3.26.0, they further secure it by making shadow tables optionally read-only.

The worrying thing here is that SQLite3, in its default configuration, is still not convincingly secure. Being able to write arbitrary data to the shadow tables has the potential to break all sorts of assumed invariants, and it's pretty clear that the SQLite3 developers did not necessarily anticipate all the ways in which this could break. The "SQLITE_DBCONFIG_DEFENSIVE" option which was added does not appear to be on by default, and it breaks backwards compatibility (setting it causes SQL imports from .dump to fail because .dump assumes shadow tables are writable during import).

There may be more bugs lurking in this area - this would be an excellent opportunity to fuzz all the plugins in SQLite to see if any of them barf when their shadow tables are corrupted.

To be fair, the main lesson here is that you shouldn’t be paying 500$ to an illusionist.

That “Angie” whoever she is, is just a fraud. She’s not actually delivering any value. Whatever she’s pretending to earn could be all fake (it’s honestly not that difficult to fake these “perfect” photos and definitely doesn’t require to be a millionaire), and even if it’s real now, she’s gonna be the first one to get the door the second this social media/bullshit media bubble pops and brands realise it’s not worth it.

You want to make money? There are plenty of career paths that will make you good money by delivering actual value to your customers. Bragging on Instagram and getting virtual internet points isn’t one of them.
> ag futures are insurance for farmers

I know nothing about futures, but how does it work?

Insurance works because a loss happens to some individual, not to all members of the class of people at all once. So insurers can cover the specific loss with pooled money.

But if ag price falls, every farmer (that is, all members of the insurance buyers) suffers loss, right? Won't it just bankrupt the insurance providers?

> Drive-by browser vulnerabilities are RCEs.

I would never argue they aren't, but by this logic ("it's like saying PDF or JPEG parsers can't be vulnerable to RCE") virtually every code execution vuln in a library can be called RCE. I haven't noticed this to be the case with e.g. libtiff vulnerabilities (of which many make it into my inbox regularly), although image libraries are one of the cases were CE = RCE is still fairly reasonable.

Let's assume this SQLite bug is only exploitable if you can input arbitrary SQL. Almost no applications use it this way (except Chrome). I think it's clearly unreasonable to call it a RCE in SQLite then.

I think this is great, but another way UCLA could put its money where its mouth is would be to publicly commit to giving higher weight to OA vs Elsevier publications when making hiring/tenure decisions.

No, the law is what judges and juries say it is, and intent matters. The laa is clearly referring to sales practices, not shipping errors.

Only if you believe that "USA" is equivalent to the "US Government". If you believe that the United States means something more, like perhaps a society founded on individual rights, equal protection under the rule of law, and a government constrained by its charter, then blowing the whistle on the domestic enemies in Maryland is extremely helpful.
