If tailgating is that big of a deal, especially for the defense industry, then they need to install man traps at the entrances. Make tailgating physically impossible. It's unreasonable to expect, say, a smaller female employee to stop a larger male who she only realizes is tailgating her after she's already swiped her badge. If physical employee is that important, install physical security or have guards. Plenty of important facilities have both.
This makes me embarrassed to be an American, not because of all the horrific externalities of natural gas, but because it’s just so tasteless.

US energy department rebrands fossil fuels as 'molecules of freedom'
Huh, I sure put my foot in my mouth on that one... a rather big assumption I never checked. Recalibrating...

But in my defense it's worth mentioning that globally it still seems to hold true. The fact that energy consumption stopped in rich countries is apparently mostly due to the fact that manufacturing, which is one of the most energy-intensive parts of the economy, moved to poorer countries. But since the rich countries consume those manufactured products, the energy use should be counted against them too!

While you say many insightful things, what is grating about your posts is that they seem to imply that many MAX (or at any rate the accident) pilots did not care, did not read up on it, did not read the newspapers and pilot rumour fora and ADs. Furthermore, you seem to imply that if they had, they could have easily salvaged the situation.

I am pretty sure that most if not all pilots are following these things very carefully. As you know well, Boeing has been way too slow to divulge the information necessary for “learning how the airplane systems worked”.

The Lion Air pilots didn’t know how the system works because they could not know. The Ethiopian Airlines pilots did cut out Stab Trim, and later switched it back on, possibly because they know more about the system than you do, and it made sense to them to deviate from the checklist (just the way you advocate, incidentally) - consider the two switches on the NG and undisclosed change in functionality on the MAX. Or maybe it was a CRM mistake, maybe one pilot thought the other one would hold the etrim switch pressed ANU.

We don’t know yet. But it is rather annoying to read from you how you’d have saved the plane so and so, because you followed the story in the newspaper and value your life and all. But, yeah, keep telling pilots to read the newspapers and inform them that they’ll die if their airplane crashes, maybe then we won’t have any accidents anymore.
You're still misunderstanding. It's not a criticism of the people quoted, it's a criticism of the journalism that presented the ideas as consensus worries when they're actually pretty niche concerns without a lot of good basis.

You can advocate for anything you want, and we can post a link to a screed by the hilariously named "Center for the Environmental Implications of NanoTechnology"[1] and we can discuss that here if you like.

But for the Guardian to do that is just editorializing.

[1] Still not scare quotes
I don't think any company's policy requires every employee to physically stop the tailgater. It would be enough that she e.g. alert security to the situation.
+1 for your first point - surely Chromium can still be used to create an ad-blocking browser.

I disagree with you after there.
> By this logic, if Samsung announced a competing phone platform that nobody uses and a competing app store that only works on that platform and has no apps but charges 5% fees, everyone could switch to that app store and sell/get all their apps there even though it has no users and no developers.

Exactly. This is how the free market works. If Samsung’s App Store is more palatable to developers and users, they will move there. This is what we see with Epic Games moving Fortnite off of the Play Store.

> The vendor cannot be trusted. The owner is you. If you can't trust yourself then you've already lost.

How do you define ownership? Physically owning the device? If a thief steals your phone, should they have the same permissions as you do over the device? Absolutely not.

Physical security matters. Ownership should be linked to a secret in your brain, not the fact that your hands are on it. And this model of ownership restricts quite a bit of modification without extra engineering or thought.

> Then those are two separate markets -- once you've bought your power plant you're locked into one or the other.

You are not buying a power plant. You are buying energy. There is a front-loaded one-time cost to switching to another power plant.

But let’s avoid silly analogies. The costs associated are obvious and visible to the users before they decide on Android or iPhone. Buying an iPhone does not segment them into a different industry. They can easily get the same apps from an Android phone. The barrier to entry via device cost does not create an industry. Industries have always been and will always be defined by product space - what is being sold. In this case, apps.

That it is expensive to switch from an iOS App Store to an Android App Store is a factor that is left to the user to make when they decide to choose one of the app stores. This is little different from switching from Steam to the PlayStation store with respect to the games industry.
The issue is not that user namespaces cannot be used for secure isolation -- the problem is that it has been used for privilege escalation in the past. It definitely is more secure than it was 5+ years ago and there are ways of restricting its use on running systems through a couple of sysctls (in addition to the out-of-tree patch that Debian and Arch use).

But, in the case of running things in containers, you can stop exploits of user namespaces through seccomp filters that block unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) -- Docker does this by default.
This will mean more expensive natural gas for North Americans.

Will the economic benefits trickle down to make up the difference?

Realistically there's no incentive for them to provide DRM-free content. All the arguments just boil down to "we can't profit off it so we'll just support the status quo". Pretty bullshit defense of netflix's values IMHO.

This reads just like propaganda, frankly. It doesn't say anything firm, denies reality ("won't interfere, except it will impact uBlock"), etc. Also, according to the article, Google has since confirmed that it isn't going to budge, at all, on any of the issues that the comment you quote (which was from January) is addressed to.

It's not something I would put any credence in if my app or org depended on it.
> While it is possible for patterns of residential racial segregation to be entirely voluntary—a product of individual preferences completely untainted by government policy—this is unlikely. Even if current patterns of segregation are not compulsory, in the sense of being mandated by legislative fiat, as was the case under Jim Crow, it is still the case that segregation is not entirely a choice in the sense that the word “voluntary” implies.

I select a Thinkpad with large RAM, large disk storage, high resolution, smallish physical screen, and as close as possible to selecting all-Intel peripheral chips for USB, video, sound, etc. This gives a laptop with huge longevity for minimal upgrade. Also get the largest battery option you can, but that can impact adversely on weight considerations.

Currently still using my ThinkPad T410S which has only had an upgrade to the HDD from 500gig to 2000gig in its nine-year lifetime. And one repair: a keyboard replacement when two arrow-keys stopped working. Though its screen resolution is now starting to feel a bit 'tight'.
Japan is in some respects a much freer country than the US. US zoning and building regulations would never allow something like that.
Meh, I laughed, and I'm sure the people who wrote "molecules of freedom" did too. And given that the natural gas boom is a big part of forthcoming American energy independence, calling it "freedom gas" is somewhat accurate.

Companies do shit because it's profitable, not "just because".

YouTube's business model is centered around ads. (There's also Premium, superchats, the new paid subscription mini-Patreon thing.. but it's still mostly ads.) If they needed more money, they would fight ad blockers harder, e.g. by fusing the ads and the video into one stream. But they aren't doing this.

DRM is antithetical to the ad-supported model, because you want to spread content with ads as far as possible, make it as accessible as possible, to get more views and clicks. Restrictive crap gets in the way of that.

Socioeconomic status doesn’t explain why parents with only high school degrees who homeschool in the US will still have kids performing at the top of public school kids’ scores, while strong parental involvement does. Over and over the only truly meaningful external factor in student performance is parental involvement, of which homeschooling is highly indicative.

> We expect tiny people making minimum wage to ask thieves to pay for the cheese they’re shoplifting.

We don't actually. All sane employers have them record and report the incident and not engage, because petty shoplifting isn't worth somebody getting shot and it's built into the margins anyway. If the store is big enough, they may have "loss prevention", who are people who are very much not tiny and will verbally engage the shoplifter and pretend to be scary, but they are also not allowed to engage physically, because again, it's not worth somebody getting shot, and liability is going to be a nightmare even if they were stealing.

> homeschooling is in practice mostly undesirable, because it overwhelmingly attracts people with fringe beliefs who are not going to act in their child's best interest

I am not saying that homeschooling in practice is mostly undesirable. Instead, there can be undesirable elements to it. And those undesirable elements are neither common nor easy to spot.

Nor am I saying that it overwhelmingly attracts people with fringe beliefs who aren't going to act in their child's best interest. I certainly think there's an element of truth to it but don't think it's overwhelmingly the case.

My parents did have legitimate reasons to homeschool some of the family. But I think the legitimate issues were leveraged for, indeed, control. Then: I think they bit off more than they could chew (I have a big family); I don't think they realized just how much effort they volunteered of themselves. At the end of a year, they chose to dig their heels in and continue a broken implementation of homeschool and not addressing the problems that came up, instead of risking putting their kids back into school and losing a year or two in grades and having to answer to the State.

> they contribute as much as other taxpayers to the public school system while not getting anything for it.

Yes. Maybe not everywhere but it certainly seemed to be the case when I was in California until moved '03.

My suggestions:

* I'd include this research paper. It's the "first mechanised cryptographic proof of WG protocol" : https://hal.inria.fr/hal-02100345/document

Self-plug right here. There are a ton of bash scripts to install and configure WireGuard. Here's mine:
https://github.com/SirToffski/WireGuard-Ligase/

It will configure server and clients independent of the OS it's running at. Steps to install WG are provided in the Wiki.
On Ubuntu server with pre-installed WG, the quick setup option will make a ready to use server. You can quickly edit the variables to change things up.

Cheers!
Yeah, that was one of the first Blurays that ever came out, as I recall. Another issue that you often see with those early ones is that they're actually encoded with the MPEG-2 video codec (H.262), same as DVDs. That's allowed under the Bluray spec, but of course anything released these days is going to use H.264 with vastly better picture quality as a result.
Wait, a coin toss isn’t random?

Yep, to be honest this is probably me. I use UBo, but I'm willing to make do with less effective rule-based blockers as long as the most obnoxious and intrusive ads are blocked.
That's the only reason I keep falling back to Chrome, the dev tools are just so much more refined.
A privileged user in the container could ptrace(2) the process and start messing with its output. If you have an IPC protocol (like the sendfd you bring up later) then you've now opened windows for container runtime attacks. Yes, you could double (and triple) check the fd is not malicious but so many programs already don't do this properly -- depending on it being done properly is not an ideal solution.

So, you don't want to join all the namespaces, only the mount namespace. But if you join the monut namespace then MS_MOVE might start messing with your resolution. So really, what you wnt to do is to just pivot_root(2) into the container's rootfs -- this is what "docker cp" already does today and it has a bug because it pivot_root(2)s into an attacker-controlled path. And all of these solutions will require a fork+exec with Go.

> Is that really ludicrously expensive?

If you're doing it once for every single filesystem syscall (every stat(2), readlink(2), open(2), getdents(2)) and so on then yes it gets very expensive. As I mentioned, the other solution is to run entire operations inside a pivot_root(2) but then your runtime code gets more complicated (Docker already does this and it's already hard enough to understand how things like chrootarchive actually work at the end of the day). Not to mention that (as this bug shows) even if you run inside a pivot_root(2) you might make a mistake that entirely negates the security benefits.
I wouldn't classify the majority of "Blue teams" I've worked with as professional. I'm currently dealing with a new Infosec group at my company that thinks the CEH is a high quality cert, that doesn't understand how open relays can be a problem, and believe that everything Qualys spits out is the word of God. I feel sorry for the CSO we just hired, but he's not much better, and a classic example of why "CSO" often stands for Chief Sacrificial Officer.

I find it interesting that a common story of people who did big things is that nobody would have predicted they'd end up doing the things they did.

Firefox has this if you are using a Firefox account at least.

Good points:

> “If you always eat popcorn when you watch your favourite TV show, your cravings will for popcorn will increase when you watch it,” he says.

I'm pretty sure this is true. Habit will go a long way.

> Even in languages that do contain a word for craving, there is still is a lack of consensus around what a craving actually is. This, Konova argues, is a barrier to understanding how to overcome cravings, since we may be labelling several different processes as cravings.

I'm pretty sure this ["we may be labelling several different processes as cravings"] is true too.

They give more attention to "chocolate cravings" than I think that phenomenon really warrants, but here are a couple of points I thought were well made:

> Chocolate is one of the most common food cravings in the West – which supports the argument that cravings don’t stem from nutritional deficiencies, since chocolate doesn’t really contain high levels of anything we could be deficient in.

> [Female "craving" for chocolate], [uncredited researchers] say, is because Western culture has a “thin ideal” of female beauty that creates the perception that craving chocolate must be justified with a good excuse.

I would tend to lean toward the theory that people are expressing a "craving" for chocolate mostly because it contains a lot of sugar, and those people would find unsweetened chocolate unsatisfying. And I find it plausible that a lot of people feel they need a special excuse, like an especially strong word, to indulge themselves.

On the other hand, I am certain that food cravings based on nutritional issues do exist. You can read the story of the guy they consulted for Life of Pi who was lost at sea, and how he started to crave raw fish eyes. When you're starving, the eyes taste fantastic, and you daydream about them -- and not coincidentally, they are a rich source of certain nutrients that aren't so easy to get by eating the rest of the fish.

I am a very picky eater, and when I first went to China I had a hard time getting food. When I visited home, several months later, my dad met me at the airport and the first thing he said was "you look like a skeleton -- where do you want to eat?"

And I had an answer ready immediately, because I'd spent a lot of time those past months thinking about pizza.

But modern life generally satisfies everyone's basic nutritional needs, so again it seems plausible that the majority of food cravings that actually occur (however we end up defining cravings) are based on something else.

> The more you eat something the more you want of it -- and thinking about my food addictions like soda that seems to be true.

In general, the opposite is the case. For most foods, people will get tired of them after a certain amount of exposure. Bread and milk (for the lactose-tolerant) are exceptions.
> Research has found that one of the most effective ways to curb cravings is to cut the craved food from our diet

This sounds like adaption to me. Like how quitting drugs too quickly can be dangerous. Might expect the same to hold for foods too, except the consequences obviously are less severe.
