I'm pretty sure something like phone banks (in or out-bound) are filled with low-skill workers whose credentials would be valuable to data thieves.

I've worked low wage jobs for the Government and Private Industry where we were hit with ransomware and phishing attacks. I think you are underestimating how many workers are really in that position. I'm not sure if you're American, but it's very common in America.

That happens because of rating inflation. If everyone just used the system where 3 was the average rating instead of 5, then he'd be in a much lower range.

But since everyone got in their heads that anything lower than a 5 is somehow an assault on the other party, 5s are the "average" rating and there is no way to distinguish between average and good. You only know that he was bad enough to get dinged .3 stars over the course of his history with the app.
Most of that extra cost comes from the legal fees around buying the land and getting permits to dig under it. A better tunnel borer doesn't address any of that.

You could maybe save on OSHA concerns if you can somehow slash the number of people employed, but you'd need to get rid of a LOT of people before you see enough gains from that to make this a game changer.

Elon's whole deal around transit is utterly uninformed about anything urban planning.
This sounds like a viewpoint that doesn't wholly consider all the edge cases of what it means to lose one's career 25 years in.

"After 25 years he's probably been put in a leadership position, or at least a mentorship position to train new hires. This demonstrates good communication and teamwork ability"

This is a nice to have, but will absolutely not help a man 25 years into a career to find an equivalent salary to support his family and maintain his quality of life in a completely different field.

"Someone who worked in an auto plant for 25 years is probably a good candidate to become a construction worker, plumber, escalator repairman, etc."

No, this cannot possibly be the case, because all those listed job requirements sacrifice the body. At the age of 25 years in a career, it wouldn't be possible to be able to start again in any labor intensive work- the body is no longer there.

"It doesn't actually say that their daughter's cerebral palsy is preventing them from moving. I doubt it would be harder to get services in an economically vibrant location with more tax funds for services, as compared to Lordstown Ohio. The fact that they "spent years fighting to get Abigail services in Ohio" seems to drive this home."

Moving actually causes one to lose residency status, which means a lot of necessary social benefits are no longer available (in order to prevent people from simply moving somewhere with better state benefits). An example that people would be most familiar with would be in state vs out of state tuition. If another state had better benefits, there would be little to say that they would be able to have access fo them. If anything, Mr & Ms March would probably have to wait several years before they have to begin the several years long fight again to secure benefits for their daughter.

"Overall I would be much more sympathetic if the author spent their words explaining how Rick has tried to find employment in other fields, has tried to find apprenticeships or trade school education, and is willing to move across the country but still can't find a job"

It would be more accurate to say that a man who put 25 years into a career no longer has access to this career, has a wife and a dependent daughter, who may be trapped due to fighting a system that holds tons of bureaucracy to avoid fraud, who can no longer sacrifice his body, and is completely out of options in maintaining his quality of life, which he had built up carefully over 25 years.
It's not exactly sessions, but you can bookmark all open tabs (perhaps into a folder called sessions/worktrip_boston), and then later "open all as tabs" using that folder.

I find this useful when researching a particular thing, and wanting to save the resources for later. Sorry I can't remember the exact menu items, as I'm on Firefox mobile and it doesn't do it.
On the other hand, all the security team needs to do is point to the number of billion-dollar breaches that have happened due to phishing. If phishing tests are a game, then so are DR tests, so are code reviews, so is the QA department. If phishing tests are a game, then so are your yearly performance reviews, or showing up to work on time, or meeting your deadlines.

Not destroying the company through your own negligence should be basic standard practice. Repeatedly failing a phishing test even when given proper security education (like PhishMe provides) is negligence that can destroy an entire company.

I worked in security at a company where the IT security department didn't report up the IT chain but was under HR alongside the Internal Audit department. Enforcing policy and holding people accountable were fundamental expectations of our managers all the way up, no different than someone repeatedly harassing a coworker or watching porn at work.
Every city I've ever seen has a large amount of personal cars on the road. Sure some people in some cities ride in shared public transit, but don't try to pretend that there are not large amounts of people that for whatever reason don't. You might want to look closer to home and solving your own problems instead of attacking the US.

Not a lawyer but I would probably just keep all side projects on the down low, don't draw attention by asking for a copyright assignment exemption, don't develop it at work or even log in via a company pc or phone. Don't mention it to co-workers. Keep your name off of it on the public side. Keep it anonymous. I expect you could even use a 'pen name' if you wanted to, if you need to be visible, do podcasts, etc.

Most of your side projects aren't going to amount to anything anyway but if you keep it anonymous the chances of your company approaching you about it after you leave are very small. Even if it turns in to a success.
Googler here, but I do not work on Chrome and I’m speaking on a personal capacity.

I believe this is a misnomer. The enterprise deployment stuff I’m aware of in Chrome/Chromium is accessible by any user, as far as I know, and in the past I’ve used it to force private browsing on always for my own personal usage.

That said, I switched to Firefox when Quantum came out and haven’t looked back. Mozilla has done some annoying stuff over time, but imo the browser itself is really solid, and with some tweaks is very good.

What is the actual goal of environmentalism on earth?

If it is to preserve diverse species, then it absolutely makes sense to colonize other planets and spread the wide variety of plants, animals, and other organisms. The earth will eventually be burned up by the sun.
Apple quite literally is the market, and they refuse to allow external influences on the market's listings (mostly, sorta).

Apple chose to adopt it's existence as being a market and they're getting the revenue that goes along with assuming responsibilities which they are shirking.

Apple really needs to be hit with anti-trust investigations. Ditto for the play store.
Which is kind of bullshit.

The driver is the one providing the service. And in a service industry, you serve the customer what they want. Not the other way around. If the customer doesn't want to talk, that's their prerogative.
It so happens, that the Sun's expansion will eventually consume most of the planets in the galaxy; of course, it will also be so cold long before that point humans won't be alive.

>Does the phishing test service detect if the link is accessed via a sandboxed env?

Does it really matter? I used to play these games with my org's absurdly obvious phishing trainers, but the truth is it's not my job to determine whether an apparent phishing email is genuine or not. If you know that getting phished is a fireable offense, then just don't access the links, obvious fake or not.
Can you elaborate as to why you recommend it? Thanks.
Yeah but if you think about it they are putting a straight jacket on a madman while a committee organizes regular PCP shipments to said madman.

That they got it to work amazes me, that they got it to work well astounds me.

It's one of the few parts of my stack that I interact with every day I don't occasionally want to hunt down the creators of.
I would think such a building is not (or should not be) considered high security.
Put another way: if you assume 16-passenger shuttles, you have to have 26 second headways between cars in order to meet capacity.

If you don't split the track to allow unloading, you have 26 seconds to disembark 16 passengers, embark 16 more passengers, and then clear the platform in enough time to allow sufficient safety margin for the car immediately behind you. Station dwell times (essentially the time from train is fully stopped to time it starts accelerating, and therefore not including the last bit) are upwards of 30 seconds and much likelier to be close to a minute, which can't be done in sufficient time. Especially because full capacity cars generally require more time at stations, and I have to imagine that modified Teslas that can fit 16 people aren't going to be quick to navigate.

If you have multiple platforms at each station to accomodate the long station dwell time, maybe it could be done, but I suspect that it'd blow out their construction budget because of the extra space needed.

I might consider this - if my employer gave me tools to deal with looking at email headers, etc etc etc. That means iff I have to use Outlook/Exchange, and nobody will tell me what the external SMTP server IP address is (and other information) this is unreasonable.

I've had two different large, corporate employers do the phishing training thing. I've failed occasionally at both of them. You can make a phish as close to indistinguishable from a legit email as you want.

In my experience these "phish-your-employees" programs have 2 side effects, both possibly unwanted:

1. Reluctance to even look in Outlook for fear of getting a drive-by. I know these haven't shown up in a while, but Outlook is a strange beast. That is, I'm just not going to look for, or even open, emails.
2. Enthusiastic reporting of false positives. After getting burned by a decent phish, I reported a few legit emails, including one that had a salutation of "Dear Joe User:" or something equally generic and stupid, but was a genuine email. There's sort of a Poe's Law in the relationship between phish and real emails. This wastes security staff's time. Or maybe you want that. They tend to be a bit weird and annoying.
Note that the "trivial", as used in this context, probably means something more like "we know the domain pretty well", versus "can be completed in 5 days". There are still some ghosts, but I believe OPs point was that pales in comparison to the demons invoked when trying to "calcify the business process".
That's exactly why: because you cannot (yet) discern nonsense from something you don't agree on

It can't be the quantity of conversation that matters. Drivers probably enjoy a quiet ride as much as passengers do.

More likely it's whether you kept them waiting, treated their car nice, how long the trip was, and how polite you were. These are things that will make a driver want you back as a customer.

This. Stripe's overengineered, custom Ctrl+F is unusable on Firefox. they could've just put a search bar for their own "search" feature instead of breaking the Ctrl+F browser convention that we're so familiar with.
Falsehoods Google, Microsoft, JIRA, and others seem to believe about search:

That, when searching for a string, I don't want exact matches to appear in the results.

If your search ever DOESN'T return exact matches (barring common misspelling correction), you're doing something seriously wrong.

> I think its not really a loss of credibility, but the normalization of credibility based on a huge pool of information

That's a great point. It's like the "credibility bubble" burst due to the increased inflow of information, and the public is correcting toward a more realistic valuation - which is to say, recognizing propaganda for what it is, and rightfully being critical of mass media.

I'm also seeing that there are massive investments being made to regain the trust bubble through social media. Historically, the public seems to have short-term memory though..
I couldn't agree more. Angular really is an incredible framework, with great resources available.

I built my business' web application (and android app) using Angular. It works so well both in the native browser, and in an Android wrapper.

My ONLY complaint about Angular is the initial load time.
This is Bose's successor to the ever popular QC35 IIs.

It's an interesting update. Not sure I really understand the use cases for Bose AR yet. If you have used the recent Sony 1000X M3s, several similar features that were introduced there have been added to Bose's lineup with this model.
It's not a choice of rendering and javscript engines, but it's still a choice of browser sync ecosystem.

I'm loosely locked in to Safari on Mac/iOS if I want my phone's default browser to sync its bookmarks to my computer, because my phone's default browser can't be anything but Safari.

The author of the system is completely in the right. People deserve to know who they are dealing with interpersonal matters, especially when it deal with matters of public record. Not everyone is completely gungho on feckless hedonism you know?
Yep, that's exactly the case. Parents know that blue-collar work is back-breaking, and they want their children to have a "better life", which they associate with a college degree and office work. The memo that this office work will sometimes pay as little as stocking shelves in Tesco has not reached them yet.

On top of that, the trade schools were criminally neglected over the past 20 years, so it's very possible to go there and not learn much practical skills...
I run Firefox on my Chromebook in Ubuntu via Crostini, works pretty well and appears right next to native ChromeOS apps on the screen.

>give people who fail phishing tests... additional future phishing tests

This usually happens, especially if they're using something like PhishMe. If you fail the phishing test, you're immediately told you were tricked, and scheduled for mandatory training within a few days. After you complete the training you're put on a re-targeting list.

What we're talking about isn't firing someone for making a mistake. It's firing someone for gross negligence over and over again even when given proper training and incentives. At some point it becomes clear that the employee is a danger to the company. If they're that careless with their emails even after getting caught and going through training, what else are they neglecting to do? And who might be injured/killed because they don't care?
You would literally have to never click on any link that isn't 100% under your own control in that case. Yes 0-days exist, but if I'm in an environment where that level of security is necessary, why do I even have access to a web browser?
If you look at the benchmark results, aggressively stripping ads and tracking can result in pages loading twice as fast and hours of extra battery life. I'm happy to pay money to view your website, but modern web ads are a ridiculous and punitive payment scheme.
> Considering that Loop is pitched as a new mass transit system

Is this a different loop from the LVCC Loop mentioned in the article? The LVCC Loop seems pretty clearly to fall fairly far outside the "mass transit" system, so it must be a different project you're referring to.

> The Boring Company claims in its FAQ that the Second Avenue Subway cost "more than $1 billion per mile"

Definitely agree that one of the hallmarks of Elon Musk's companies are exaggerated claims about their own abilities and about the competition. I've been impressed by his ability to deliver on some of the bold claims that he has made (even if he fails to do so on a claimed timeline), but also disappointed by his readiness to exaggerate faults in other products / solutions.

Still, if the end-result is to be to reduce tunneling costs from $415M for 2 miles down to $200M for 2 miles, that's a pretty significant result. It wouldn't be nearly as dramatic as the original goal, but still a huge improvement that would make tunneling more viable in a larger number of cases.
Check out Ungoogled Chromium, it's pretty great.
The lady doth protest too much, methinks
Let's keep a sense of perspective here. What the sun's going to be doing a billion or so years from now seems like a rather remote concern compared to entire countries being underwater in a few decades.

If interstellar space travel is ever practically attainable - and, FWIW, that is still a controversial subject - then humans absolutely will figure it out. Or rather, they will just so long as they manage to extend both their existential and economic trajectories far enough for it to matter. Ain't nobody gonna be able to develop that kind of technology from Mars; they'll be way too busy on more prosaic tasks, like repeatedly checking their domes for leaks.

I never converse. If a driver tries to converse with me I'm polite but I just try to wind-down the conversation by not engaging much.

I'm not being rude, but, almost always busy with something else, either on my laptop working or on a conference call (and yes I've had drivers who try to talk over conference calls or raise up their music).

I have a 4.75 rating so I don't think that's your issue. Do you use Uber much or could a single 1-star review cause a serious drop.
> All someone said was "Await is a keyword, syntax highlighters will most likely paint it differently."

Which was in response to someone's criticism regarding .await notation that "it's easy to not even be aware it exists and think a struct had a member called await instead..."

> Now if someone said, "it's impossible to read the await keyword due to its placement, but since everyone uses syntax highlighting, it will be okay since it will be colored differently,"

That's how I interpreted it based on it being a reply to that exact criticism.

> I guess I'm just so tired of folks piping up with the "not everyone uses syntax highlighting" crap almost every single time anyone even hints at the notion that syntax highlighting can help a particular piece of syntax. I guess you're probably tired of the opposite.

I understand! As I noted earlier, I'm for syntax highlighting in general. If I was forced to never use syntax highlighting for programming again, I might consider a career change and only programming on things I really care about instead of to pay the bills. It's because of this extreme distaste for how annoying it is without syntax highlighting that I'm extremely adverse to making it any worse than it already is, because there's been a few times where I've been forced to endure it.

For the record, I'm fine with the currently accepted await syntax. Out of what I would consider the ideal outcome to me (postfixing special sigil/character), it's at least postfixed. While prefixing await looks prettier in the singular case, it makes any sort of chaining cumbersome and error prone to parse out by eye, and as I've gone to pains to represent here, when it comes to functionality and prettiness, I error heavily on the side of functionality (where functionality includes safety and a premium on not making complex things harder to deal with than they need to be). My comments are really a tangent on the submission topic and not meant to be applied directly towards the specific solution Rust has gone with (there's a reason I waited until quite deep in the thread to use it specifically as an example). That is, .await is a perfectly acceptable outcome in my eyes without the need to justify it through syntax highlighting.
- customers expect "personalized" search results; having built up a history of searches centered around particular subjects (say, programming), you'll expect much different results for "string" than the general population gets;

Not always the desired behavior. This should be toggleable. It becomes very difficult to find results outside of what google thinks you want.
The city that’s giving people money
Estimates I've seen are that Earth's core temps are attributably roughly 50-50 to latent gravitational heat of formation, and to radioactive decay of heavy elements (incidentally producing virtually all helium found on the planet).

Any sufficiently large rocky planet or gas giant is likely to have a similarly molten core, the latter likely within a metallic hydrogen core.

(Highly speculative, see e.g., https://www.universetoday.com/47966/jupiters-core/)

Asteroids and ice planetoids probably not: insufficient initial heat, radiative heat losses.
