> If we want people to see nature, we have to preserve actual nature and encourage people to visit it. Visiting a zoo is not visiting nature, and I personally worry that equivocating the two is dangerous.

I don’t find this compelling, and think that you are missing the point: visiting zoos is a way to inspire people to care about nature such that they will want to preserve it.

I was at a zoological society fundraiser where Joel Sartore, founder of the Nat Geo “Photo Ark” series, was the keynote speaker. In it he talks about the intrinsic good of nature and biodiversity. Because it is a good in and of itself, how can we protect it?

His argument was kids today aren’t connected to nature in the same way generations past have been connected to nature. With TV, video games, smart phones, etc., kids generally don’t spend as much time outside as they used to, and if they do, there is a higher chance it is in a more Urban area than years past.

Zoos, he argues, are one of the few remaining places a kid can see nature up close, and hopefully see the intrinsic good of nature to “give a shit” about it (his words). Once they do “give a shit,” they are more likely to want to protect it once they are grown up.

So zoos protect and preserve nature (an intrinsic good) and hopefully inspire younger generations to care about nature and grow up to want to protect it (instrumental good).

I found his argument compelling, and don’t think declaring that people should simply “preserve actual nature” would be very effective.

But also imagine all the wannabe journalists that would just do character assassinations on long-dead people revered as heroes for a quick buck and some internet fame. They would completely ignore all the harm it would do.

Worse, there would be those that would do that same thing with plenty of intent to cause harm, especially to the groups they are prejudiced against.

I see comments pointing out that the majority of plastic pollution in oceans come from Asia/Africa. This is true, but there are two points worth considering:

1) Whenever you pay cheaply for anything made in any third world country, you're externalizing the societal cost of pollution to that country (and if it gets into the oceans, to everyone). In other words, you're not paying the true cost of that item--economically and to society and the environment.

2) As linked elsewhere: first world nations often export their trash to third world nations, masquerading as recycled materials - see spat with Philippines - https://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/canadian-garbage-from-phi...

> Doesn't every major app have to do this itself, in some container (document/mail folder/image definition/contact list and on and on)?

It does, but it's also something that can be provided by a library as easily as the OS. So e.g. Firefox uses sqlite, but it can use a portable library for that, and then it isn't different on Windows than Linux or Mac.

And then the application gets to choose something with an appropriate level of complexity. Sometimes all you need is Maildir or xattr(7) or JSON, sometimes you need a full on SQL database. One size fits all rarely does in practice.

In my opinion storing, not deleting, is the most important job of a file system. Increased efficiency and free space is a better proposition than replicating the average user's mental model of free space in the volume.

It has always annoyed me that they call the product "Firefox" but the animal in the branding is a red fox and not a firefox. The firefox (aka red panda) is a totally different animal more closely related to a raccoon than to a fox. They look enough alike that it could easily have been an actual firefox in the logo but they go out of their way to give cues that it's a red fox.

Your argument is what? The largest nuke ever tested was 50MT. It is entirely possible (abd probable) that development continued. Was there a physical limit about the tsar Bomba? I think the dial-a-yield testing at only half strength is a pretty solid indicator no.

Do you think they stopped because dropping the Tsar Bomba at full yield was a suicide mission? Yes, yes it is possible that it would have been. That would not have stopped development. Suicide missions happen. We have autonomous planes now.

There's only mild speculation in the >100MT number. They almost certainly exist, and your counterexample is right on the line.

A slightly radical theory: flat organizations are set up to foster that intentionally.

Suppose your company has the idea that they want to identify and reward natural leaders and/or those who test limits and push through boundaries.

One way to do it is to tell people your organization is flat, then watch for the people who don't buy that and instead see an opportunity to take charge.

You create a situation with a little bit of an artificial and completely intentional power vacuum, then you watch who takes it upon themselves to step in and fill it. By holding a bit of a vacuum, you encourage these people to show themselves. (And I'm convinced management is actively watching to see who takes that bait.)

I'd say these are the most common responses: (1) never reach awareness that it's happening and continue to take flat at face value, (2) see it as opportunity and take advantage of it, and (3) see it as unnecessary game-playing and dislike it.

Whether 2 or 3 is better is an interesting question. It might separate the practical people from the idealists, or maybe it separates the self-interested from the more community-minded. I can see some of both, personally.

EDIT: I don't necessarily want to be completely dismissive of the idea. There's something to be said for creating situations that allow for people to stretch and try out new roles. That's how people develop. This is informal and stealthy, but it is a way to do that.

If you're in the position to afford hand made Amish furniture, you can probably afford movers. OSB is great for inexpensive furniture that doesn't move. The downside is once the wood gets wet or damaged it degrades quickly, unlike solid wood which will warp and split if not properly treated. One of the absolute best furniture products for strength and durability is actually plywood but people see it as a "cheap" product instead of the engineering marvel that it is. I think what it really comes down to is that when you're younger it makes sense to buy cheaper more disposable furniture. It's going to see more wear and tear and you're still finding your own style which is likely to change when you have a partner. When you become an adult and start moving less it makes sense to buy something that is going to be able to last longer with proper care. Solid woods tend to wear better over time because it's not a paper veneer over the OSB. Like most things it's about using the appropriate tool or resource for the task. I recently had to build a behind the sofa table for my wife. There simply didn't exist a product that fit our needs (12 feet long and thin) went with solid oak and while it fit we did indeed have the problem that it wouldn't fit through the stairwell and we had to walk it around the outside of the house. I doubt it would fit in an apartment.

If I understood correctly, this is orders of magnitude worst that RowHammer, as it is kind of passive: you set some program to do the RowHammer side, within its own memory space, and then use RAMBleed to see changes from memory cells, not exactly the ones that were RowHammered. Is that it ?
>I think the idea that the program can load files as code is insane in itself. There shouldn't be such a mechanism in an ideal world.

What do you mean by loading files "as code". Do you mean setting the execute bit on memory pages? You need to have the appropriate permissions to do that, and a locked down system wide policy can prevent programs from doing that as well.

> It doesn't work because users are unwilling to go through and tag all their files.

I tend to agree -- in fact, I was just describing this very idea (that users will go in and mark up their all their content if we just give them the tools to do so) the other day here on HN as "the metadata delusion": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19515848

But it's important to note that tagging as the main usage scenario is envisioned by the linked article, not by those earlier RDBMS-as-filesystem projects. Those older projects assumed that much if not all of the metadata associated with data would be generated and managed by applications sitting on top of the database, using it as their data store. Users could add additional metadata if they wanted to, but they didn't have to for the system to be able to offer benefits.

The RDBMS-as-filesystem argument went more like this. If you want to be able to filter all your documents and only show the completed ones, then yes, allowing you to put a "done" tag on those documents is a crude way of doing that. But if all applications have access to a common data store, more sophisticated options become available, like letting developers build a workflow application that can read your documents and track changes, log approvals/change requests, etc. Then you wouldn't have to tag done documents "done"; you'd just use software to do your work, and your applications would teach the system what it means for a document to be "done".

(Of course, those older projects all fizzled out in the marketplace so we never got the chance to find out how these theories would have played out in practice.)
You should reread the part I quoted above. It defines the terms used in §18/19: It’s §4(2) https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/arbnerfg/__4.html it doesn’t talk about payroll or not payroll, it’s all about how related to your work assignment the invention is. The rules and regulations around calculating a fair compensation even grade on that exact metric among other things. So it’s essentially what the work contracts stipulate: inventions related to your work belong to your employer, even if done in your off time.

The problem in IT is that depending on what you do, everything might be related to a varying degree.
Anyone else love how vulnerabilities these days have full on marketing-esque campaigns backing them? In any case, if it increases awareness, I'm mostly supportive.

Allow me to save some time, from TFA:

> Is there a CVE number?

> Yes, see CVE-2019-0174 [1].

[1] https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2019-0174

> What is RAMBleed?

> Previous attacks exploited the Rowhammer effect to write (or flip) bits in the victim's memory. RAMBleed is different in that it uses Rowhammer for reading data stored inside the computer's physical memory. As the physical memory is shared among all process in the system, this puts all processes at risk.

> What data can be read by RAMBleed?

> While the end-to-end attack we demonstrated read out OpenSSH 7.9's RSA key, RAMBleed can potentially read any data stored in memory. In practice, what can be read depends on the victim program's memory access patterns.

> What technologies are affected by RAMBleed?

> RAMBleed relies on Rowhammer-induced bit flips to read privileged memory. As such, any system that uses Rowhammer-susceptible DIMMs is vulnerable. Previous research has demonstrated bit flips on both DDR3 and DDR4 with TRR (targeted row refresh) enabled. While we demonstrated our attack on a desktop machine and an ECC enabled server machine, Rowhammer attacks have been demonstrated against both mobile devices and laptops. As such, we suspect that many classes of computers are susceptible to RAMBleed.

> How can I mitigate this issue?

> Users can mitigate their risk by upgrading their memory to DDR4 with targeted row refresh (TRR) enabled. While Rowhammer-induced bit flips have been demonstrated on TRR, it is harder to accomplish in practice.

> Memory manufacturers can help mitigate this issue by more rigorously testing for faulty DIMMs. Furthermore, publicly documenting vendor specific TRR implementations will facilitate a stronger development process as security researchers probe such implementations for weaknesses.
>>"The traditional desktop computer is struggling to adapt the simple interfaces of mobile devices while also keeping its focus on productivity."

>No, no, it isn't. Desktop is far more productive than mobile ever will be or can be.*

Only because it has more freedom (to run all kinds of apps, services, etc). Not because it necessarily offers better interactions.

Most people are far better at what they do with their mobile phone, than with their desktop OS.
I think the first quote is pretty accurate.

OS owners are trying to adapt their OSes so they work across desktop and mobile, but as a result, the desktop OSes are far less productive.

A classic example was Windows 8, but Mac OS has become far less productive as well. Just look at the new Marzipan based apps, or the push for "Full Screen everything!" which is the complete opposite of the OS X paradigm.

In the Linux world as well, icons and buttons have been made unnecessarily larger to serve potential mobile and touch usage.
Ever reported a security vulnerability to a company and had it severely downplayed before?

Then thought about it and was expecting to see a comment saying “it’s so that normal people understand the vulnerabilities.”

And then I realized it’s probably also because of a desire to be seen. (It seems all participants are from academia?)

"I was surprised to learn that the average Bangalorean throws out very little trash: about a pound of garbage per day, or the weight of a grapefruit. The average American generates more than four times that amount, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or more than seven times that amount, according to a more rigorous methodology developed by Columbia University and the BioCycle trade journal. We’ve nearly doubled our per capita output of garbage since 1960, to the point where we now generate 50 percent more trash than Western Europeans and two to three times more than the Japanese."

"As I wound my way through Bangalore’s streets in the Daily Dump van, I spotted numerous American brands out the window: Nike, Tommy Hilfiger, Levi’s, McDonald’s, Pizza Hut. But the United States doesn’t just export products to India—it exports a culture of consumption, backed by billions in advertising dollars."
Note that the browser extension actually does limit your exposure quite a bit. You make trade offs here.

For instance, if you aren't using the browser extensions, how are you getting your password to the browser to sign in? Copying and pasting? It's possible for any app on your system to read the clipboard.

Drag and drop should be a better alternative there, as we now support that in 1Password 7.

The extension though uses either Safari App Extension (for Safari, obviously) or Native Messaging Host (Firefox and Chrome browsers) and aren't susceptible to clipboard type snooping.

The browser extensions also only present items that match the website you're on. This helps a lot in phishing attempts.

So, yea, you could not use the browser extensions but you're going to have to trust that YOU always do the right thing.

Note again that 1Password does not "auto fill" like other password managers, where simply visiting the site fills the data in. You always have to explicitly ask 1Password to fill into the page.

Just some insight anyway.
