Yeah, that had me kinda puzzled as well. Sure, the app seems like a terrible idea, but ultimately it was one of her contacts who put that information into it.

If you don't expect your users to receive shell script email attachments from untrusted sources (which could be the initial attack vector here), then blocking the SH extension would be one simple step. Of course, there are a few more things you could do: blocking shell script shebang signatures, zipped files with the executable bit set etc.

You like Apple products and therefore you are a premium category customer. Dynamic pricing shown to you on websites will reflect that. Depending on the A/B rules in place you are paying a decent premium over someone with cheapo Android phone and looking for jobs in custodian services.

If someone you hate gives you $1 million though, and says "I'll pay you again next year if you do well for me, you might even get more" then you're going to find that if you take the money in a few years all your decisions are centred around the happiness of the person you once hated.

If you keep taking their money you're morally complicit in their actions too.

Hi there! Unfortunately I haven't found any high-quality online communities of crypto builders - most of my connections to other folks building are offline / irl. Would encourage you to attend local developer groups to get to know others in the space!

There are tons of helpful resources online though, as lots of folks write tutorials and other things. Googling most problems you face will yield good results.
> Companies could make tamper-proof sensor modules that do the signing right where it matters.

Just film a screen displaying the fake video. As soon as it's possible for a bad actor to create signed fake content it invalidates the entire protocol.

Oh, ok, I see what you mean now. The viewer already trusts the creators, so the threat model is not about an attacker creating fake videos. But if you already trust the creator why do you need further proof? Identity is already solved. The problem at stake here is videos released to the general public where the source is unknown, or not trusted by all stakeholders, i.e, during a trial.

Terms are used a little differently internationally. However with that said typically "mass timber" is the catch all for both engineered and non-engineered timber.

CLT is the engineered product taking taking most of the limelight right now. It is only differentiated from glulam (glue laminated timber) by the layering. In CLT layers are perpendicular where glulam they are parallel. Glulam has been around a little longer and is more suited to posts and beams due to its linear nature where CLT is used for structural panels also.

There are also plenty of other less glamorous engineered timber products that have had a major impact in construction including timber I beams and OSB (Oriented Strand Board) panels.

If anyone is really interested in timber from forestry to bulding products I recommend looking at the Gifu Academy of Forest Science and Culture which is the only institution i know of that runs the gamut of forestry, environmental education, craft and furniture making, and wooden architecture

A study found that processed meat consumption is inversely correlated with telomere length. That is likely due to the various chemicals and preservatives used in processing the meat, because unprocessed red meat did not have the same effect. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/27558579/

If you’re curious about diet’s effect on longevity other than causing obesity and diabetes, I suggest reading “The Telomere Effect.” It’s a great book which also covers things like the epigenetic effects of stress and how stressing a pregnant woman could even cause epigenetic changes in the baby. Note that some of the research is new and not rigorously validated yet.

Sure, but we have concrete buildings still standing from Roman times - most famously, the Pantheon.

I grew up in a cottage a couple of hundred years old, with thick walls built from stone and mortar. It's not unusual to live in a house that's over a century old in Europe.

I've also lived in a wooden house - more of a three room + toilet chalet, really. Biggest irritations were all the noises from thermal expansion in the summer, and the fact rats could eat their way in. I think it's a bit more effort to actively maintain wood and be sure it's in good condition than brick and concrete construction.

That cottage, btw - the roof had a wood frame, but it wasn't the original - that had burned down along with the thatch at least once, and been replaced some time before we moved in.
>I grew up with parents that urged me to prevent pools of standing water, but don’t lots of non-mosquito insects need standing water to breed?

Sure, they can use the other pools of standing water not near humans. The reason it works to limit some species of mosquito (mostly aedes aegypti) is that they preferentially seek to bite humans and so live near them. Other bugs seek out plants and other bugs so they can live elsewhere.

That's literally what it is. You can do it in all sorts of interesting different ways, but the idea is, where with other techniques you'd use e.g. insulation, gypsum wallboard, oriented strand board sheathing or plywood, instead you just... put more wood on it.

If that's truly your rationale then you're deluding yourself: you can take money, for sure, but as soon as you act to aid the source of the money then you're complicit in whatever that source is doing.

You might consider the positive aspects of your use of the money out with the negative aspects of your aiding murder, say, but that's not quite what you outlined.

I have my own theory behind the propensity for processed food to be linked to debilitating pathologies and shortened life.

With factory foods, the production line cuts off any connection between the preparer and the dinner plate, and there's a moral hazard in play, not unlike a middle man recruiter between interviewer and candidate. The middle man plays matchmaker as a volume game, with a tolerance for failed matches. As long as the margin doesn't cut profits too close to the red, some matches can safely fail, and though the failure can spell ruin for affected individuals, the middle man enjoys a handsome payday and healthy career.

The agribusiness version of this is that a tolerable percentage of plants and animals can fall well below quality control standards, so long as the general trend is above board.

This means that really bad milk gets homogenized with good milk. Then the new batch of aggregate milk endures further processing, and never sees human consumption before being sweetened, further preserved and frozen. Quality control spot checks will catch obvious errors, but lots of subclinical problems fly below radar.

So too with meat that is chopped and mixed and becomes completely removed from its anatomical appearance. When you eat hamburger, there's no clue as to which cut of meat you get. So too with sausage.

So, just like Upton Sinclair's book The Jungle, processing the meat provides cover for low quality samples. Why should the business take a hit if they can make the grade, and pad their volume with a few downers.

This may mean that persistent organic polluntants or peaticide contaminations accumulate in consumer populations in line with tolerances that toe the line, and distribution pipelines define where the contaminants land. Maybe radioactive isotopes or heavy metals make it through. Maybe it's a constant mist of toxic chemicals masquerading as colorant, flavor and fragrance.

All of it, over time, delivering insults to internal organs in randomized monte carlo patterns, according to preferences and habits of the patient. Some unfortunate test subjects catch the perfect storm and decay into a death spiral. Some win the lottery and live long healthy lives, untouched by maladies. The middle of the bell curve lives in a foggy malaise of languid nutrition, trying to ignore that odd flavor reminiscent of freezer burn mixed with a hint of gypsum board and spackle.

Now why would my vanilla ice cream taste like that time I sanded and primed my finished basement? Hmmm, let's see... titanium dioxide for color? ...gonna have to switch brands.
quite - presumably there are other animals eating these insects.

Then again, malaria kills lots and lots of people every year, and I suspect if I was in a malaria-prone country I might feel different about the balance of protecting humans vs potential ecological effects (even if in the long term this might cause big negative changes)
Timber at least can last a very long time. There are houses in the UK which dates from the time of Shakespeare which are still standing.

I'm not sure what's worse: a cheap wooden structure which lasts 50-100 years or a strong brick structure which lasts hundreds. Here in Europe we have a large stock of houses from the 1950's which cost 300 EUR a month to heat and cannot be insulated. For a modern passive house costs are closer to 30 EUR a month.

This is a classic submarine PR hack to "defuse" the trade war, by showing an emphatic side. One can easily get away with such statements that can't be demonstrably proven and hence needs to be thrown away, since it's just noise in the context of the actual discussion (the US's sanctions on Huawei).

Online communication is hard. The burden of security falls on every parties.

Let's go back to the world where there is no internet. Imagine someone spreads a rumor about you. Or a praise. People might have heard this, before they even met you. It can be illegal, harmful, or beneficial, but it's under the control of the people you interact with.

If you meet someone for the first time, and the person heard from someone that you're dealing drugs, and you tell her you don't, and ask them where they heard that, they might trust you over the rumor, and you'll try to eradicate the rumor.

There are differences, mainly in that the call receiver has greater power to reject the call based on the information they have.

I think the real story is in the interaction and how the app behaves, for the receiver. Were they aware that they were putting Chloe into the database? The article doesn't say. Without this, it's hard to judge whether the same thing couldn't have happened in a world without internet (imagine a small village). It doesn't seem to be entirely black and white.

I'm not sure there's a clear definition of what valid "text" is, but surely classifying it as something like "a sequence of Unicode scalar values" (equivalent to "something that can be encoded in a UTF") is a bit arbitrary. Is a sequence of unassigned Unicode scalar values really "text"? Maybe "text" should not start with a combining character. Maybe it should be grammatically valid in some human language.

Again, unless the point of all of this is to cater for obsolete encodings for the rest of eternity, "sequence of code points" (or here "sequence of Unicode scalar values" [0]) seems just as arbitrary as "sequence of bytes".

[0] Probably worth mentioning that as far as I'm aware, these systems tend to use code points, not Unicode scalar values, so the strings are not guaranteed representable by UTFs anyway (Python allows "\udc80", and even started making use of such strings as a latent workaround to handle non-UTF-8 input some time after Python 3 was released [1])

pycrypto is terrible. The pycryptodome fork fixes most problems in it.

Also, maybe worth sharing you are listed as fourth contributor [1] to the cryptography library, and your web book is prominent on the project homepage, so this piece of opinion may be biased.

>> Concrete suggestion: use Fernet

Please don't. Don't use boutique protocols with informal specs and without test vectors generated by a sufficient number of independent implementations. Stick to RFC-backed protocols. Use JWT with rigid parameters. Even other cryptography author states that just supporting JWT and not Fernet would have been better [2].

Having someone on the team who understands security (can be a security engineer who also writes software, or a software engineer who also has some serious clue about security) should happen as early as possible.

You will almost certainly need some form of authentication system in a couple places, and it doesn't take a lot to keep you from making the worst mistakes.

Once you've build your entire (internal or external) auth system in a broken way, fixing it afterward is much more expensive, and you can expect to have weekly breaches while you do it.

This doesn't need to be back-breaking (compare: WhatsApp), but it is avoidable.
Fwiw, I don't see it as surveillance, it is trusting your data with them, might seem similar but a little bit different. Google in general a very good steward of private data if not the best. They don't sell it and provide tools to manage it So far I find it an acceptable bargain.

As for Chrome, the latest announcement is a bit troublesome, but i still find it better than alternatives.
