If you learned English anywhere in Europe, it's most likely that you were taught an approximation of Received Pronunciation (standard British English), which is most similar to accents in the northeastern US for historical reasons.

My understanding is that Reaganomics / trickle-down economics has been fairly widely proven to be ineffective.

I understand that the idea is to grease the wheels of the economy by making more capital available for a company to spend on wages, R&D, recruiting; basically plowing it back into the company for reasons of growth.

It's a valid theory, in a vacuum, and maybe the reality of it was more valid in the 80's than it is now, in the times of uber-capitalism, double-digit growth requirements quarter by quarter and "shareholder value at all costs". But these are the times we're in, and tax breaks will improve the bottom line which will be reflected in the quarterly results and compared to the previous quarter and the previous financial year, and the current quarter will be declared a success and justify bonuses to executive management out of whatever is left over once the shareholder dividend has been determined - reflective, of course, of the improved bottom line. It's unlikely to reach anywhere near the low end of the hierarchy; it doesn't trickle very far down due to the very nature of how large businesses operate.

In terms of creating jobs, well, that will only happen when there's enough work to justify it, and in an economy that requires some form of stimulation, well, it's unlikely to occur until a number of cycles of stimulation have been in place. And if my opinion / experience of trickle-down economics, as described above, is close to "real world", then there's minimal bottom-end stimulation going to occur at all.

You're not wrong in your statement:

the higher the tax rates, the more contortions people will engage in to avoid those taxes

But how can that possibly be considered as justification or "the right way of looking at it"? It's a fucking disgrace and a dereliction of responsibility to the community in which they operate.

Spot on, OP shows a cursory knowledge of what they're seeing but not the specifics to explain the issue.

WiFi creds have long been an issue with IoT devices, the fact they're added at runtime is a step forward over a lot of the DIY stuff where they really are written to firmware when you write your code, because it's easier than writing code to allow a user-set WiFi password.

There are currently few ways to protect against physical access, but one simple protection is to keep your smart bulbs on their own VLAN and SSID. If they're compromised, the rest of your network is safe, and you're not risking your main SSID password leaking.

Security settings, again, mostly physical, but signatures and secure boot would prevent someone MiTM an update to gain control/access, or just borrowing a bulb and doing the same.

As for the certs, without details of what they are for is hard to say for sure but I doubt there generated separately for each device. These companies are notoriously bad at this stuff.

ESP32 is a major step forward in IoT devices over the previous, it has more resources so in theory it should have sufficient memory and compute to work with certs/keys cryptographically rather then just verifying fingerprints.

It also comes with promise of a secure element, but the SDK is "immature" and I'm yet to see any wide use of those features.
Just out of curiosity:

> Firefox is only available on x86_64 due to Rust.

Could someone explain the reasoning behind this? I’m not familiar with whatever restrictions Rust may impose.
How realistic of an attack vector is this though? LED bulbs often last 10 years or more. So either somebody knows you have an insecure light bulb and finds you important enough to regularly check whether you threw it out, or coincidentally, right when you throw out your smart bulb some tech savvy person went dumpster diving, found the bulb and really wanted to access your WiFi.

The first scenario seems unrealistic, since people who are important enough to hack tend to also pay attention to the security of their devices and how they dispose of their trash [0]. The second seems unrealistic because the chances of it happening seem slim to none.

I don't see the outrage here. Using heuristics to determine the likelihood of a URL being fake, sounds like a good idea as long as it's weighted against false positives.

That said, I've never understood why browsers do not highlight the hostname separately from the path. Many phishing domains are of the form: google.com.auth.something.else.realistic.looking.tk/fake-path-stuff and are so long that the user just sees google.com and moves on. Something as simple as underlining the hostname or making the path a slightly lighter hue would be a huge usability improvement in being able to stop phished hosts.

I'd be careful with that one, due to recent developments in Australia, more or less banning encryption (and legalising subverting employees of companies without the company's knowledge, to break their encryption schemes secretly).

GateKeeper, MRT (Malware Removal Tool), and XProtect are all built-in features of Mac OS designed to prevent malware threats and other nefarious software from being installed or used on a Mac. These security features exist in the background and are updated with regular system software updates to Mac OS, but Apple will also push quiet updates to xprotect or MRT to add new definitions and block newfound threats.

> Why would a beautiful girl give me her number and not whitelist mine?

Ever watched any American movie? The girl usually writes the number on a back of a receipt or napkin, gives it to you and immediately leaves.

:).

I do generally agree with the OP though. I need to have a way for unknown but legitimate calls to reach me. To use actual examples that happened to me - sometimes there's a problem with my on-line order, or with some form I submitted to the government, and some clerk from a company/govt office calls me to set things straight. I don't have, and couldn't possibly have, an idea from what number they'll call, but getting that call is a difference between fixing a matter on the spot, vs. wasting me (and them) half a day + incurring some extra wait time the next week.
Level3 is not exactly known for being rock solid.
Chrome is evergreen, right? Oh, wait, it regularly drops or destroys features that people rely on (often with no warning).

And IE10/11 are not that old. When people were developing for them they were current. Just because you've never developed software that needs to be supported for ore than two months, doesn't mean no one does.

> If your crap is so mission critical

If it's mission critical, it's not crap. Crap is stuff that is "not hard to keep up with the web technologies that change every two months".
People who thinks that what happened is unacceptable needs to understand that Apple must receive a lot of these types of call every week. What would you do if someone send you multiple messages saying that they found a major issue _without even detailling anything_ while this person actually wants you to give them money for what they found (that they still haven't disclosed any information about it)? I'm sure the majority would ignore these calls unless some details were shared about the issue.

I am not surprised about what happened at all. There is an argument that can be made about the fact that it took Apple so many years to finally implement group video call that they could take a little bit of time to do it right but other than that, I don't see how Apple could have prevented a bug that a person wasn't willing to disclose without having money first.

Can we blame someone to not respond to a fax that doesn't include any details about the issue or how to reproduce it?

I'm sure you aren't doing this consciously, but you're answering completely different ones that are easier to dismiss than the original one that more difficult to answer. It comes across as using a straw man.

int_19h is not asking a very broad, theoretical question so much as that it is a difficult question to answer, requiring specific technical know-how about CPUs and compiler design.

Saying that one can compile WASM into Japanese or French is not an answer to "is x86/x64 (or ARM) an ideal target architecture for WASM", so irrelevant.

Whether or not "CPUs these days [are] not performing well enough for most applications" is not relevant for answering GPs question. It's a justification for you not to have to answer his question. But ultimately, whether or not there would be a point to targeting WASM in the hardware is unrelated to whether it is possible, and what the limitations are. Also: did most websites need the performance of V8 when it came out? No, because no website used JavaScript intensely due to its slow performance.

> Nuclear has the potential to create a whole no-go area around it. And I have very little faith in us humans as a wider group to learn to deal with conflict of interest. I believe mitigation is better.

Nuclear is somewhat special because radiation feels like magic (invisible killer), but I'd like to point out that we already deal with lots of comparably dangerous large-scale endeavours like this. Consider hydroelectric plants and large chemical plants. Both create as much danger of a "no-go area" as nuclear plants. Few times, accidents did happen, and people died (in case of hydro, a lot of people), ground became uninhabitable. But mostly, we manage all of them well worldwide.

I don't see how nuclear power plants could create extra in-group conflict of interests beyond what we already know to handle both in nuclear, and other industrial processes. Humans suck, but not that hard.

> Widespread solar and other distributed tech like that might not hold the raw promise of nuclear but I hope it will give us a more robust energy system in the world, harder to disrupt either by malice, conflict of interest or by accident.

That's a good point and I'm sympathetic to it, but my worry now is twofold: long-term, I'm not convinced solar/wind will give us enough energy (note how progress of mankind is mostly tied to commanding more and more energy). I'd love to see fusion working in particular. Short-term, due to unsuitability of solar/wind for base load and current lack of battery technology that would compensate, I'm not convinced solar/wind will be enough.

(Also, I don't understand why it's always nuclear vs. solar/wind, instead of nuclear+solar/wind vs. coal&gas. Ecological activism has weird priorities.)

To be a bit more future-proof you should give Apache Beam a try. The same code should (theoretically) work with any of the supported runners[0] and so you could deploy it on top of the most suitable framework/technology for your specific workload. Moreover, at this point, the community has several examples of how to add an additional runner.

Edit: I didn't see you mentioned Beam in your second salvo :)

This approach comes pretty close to solving the problem, but a couple issues are dealbreakers for me:

1) It mutes all notifications, not just non-whitelisted calls. As much as I hate notification overload, I do want a select few to come through.

2) I want a discoverable way for non-whitelisted callers to be able to break through (not everyone will know to call multiple times to break through).

Google Shareholders and Workers Call on Board to Fix ‘Diversity Crisis’
As someone who's running an agency--even if in a different part of the world--and taking care of the financials I see a very similar pattern.

More importantly, I'd second "A fair salary is the one you shake hands on."

Interestingly, there may be an interesting relationship between the two observations.

We are located in Poland so the numbers are not exactly the same as they are for a US-based company, yet the structure is similar. However, some of the work we do goes through a partnership agency located in US. Some of the work we do directly for US customers. So these are the same people doing the same quality work with the same efficiency.

The difference in the rate for the end customer? 100%+ If they go through US-located partnership they pay double. Note: the whole setup is fully transparent for the end customer so there's no pretending that we are not who we really are.

Should our people expect better salary because there's someone making a huge premium on the top of what we are making? Well, that would definitely make our business unsustainable.

Can we raise our rates to a similar level when working directly with US-based customers? That doesn't work either as the premium is paid for the fact that people come through US-based consultancy.

Is the work done in any different manner? No, it's exactly the same work.

So we end up balancing our financials and we acknowledge that from time to time we would lose an engineer who will either jump on the independent consulting bandwagon (the leverage for them is potentially much bigger than if they were located in the US) or join US-based company remotely.

Ultimately "a fair salary is the one you shake hands on."

Note: we are an entirely transparent company, thus all the financial details are known to everyone and we openly discuss these matters. We also strive for fairness understood as collective fairness, i.e. if I want to earn over what is commonly perceived as the value I bring to the company I'm not getting it. Also, we share the profits with everyone at the company.
